## Source Distribution

```
          Config A (baseline)          Config D (final)
BM25:     ██████████████ 28%           █████████ 18%          ← -10pp
Vector:   █████████████ 27%            ██████████████████ 37% ← +10pp
Graph:    ██████████████████████ 44%   ███████████████████████ 48%  ← +4pp 🏆
```

**Key insight:** bge-m3 dramatically improved Vector search (+21pp from A→C), while the entity resolution system (D) redistributed results more evenly across all 3 legs with Graph at its highest contribution.

## Entity Resolution System (Config D)

### Problem
Haiku 4.5 creates entity fragmentation — same person stored under multiple names:
- `phuc-nt`, `anh`, `Anh`, `self`, `Phúc` → all the same person
- `mẹ`, `Mẹ`, `bố mẹ` → same person
- Search query "Nguyễn Trọng Phúc" → 0 graph matches (not in DB)

### Solution: 3-layer fix

**Layer 1: SAME_AS relationships in FalkorDB**
```
phuc-nt ──[SAME_AS]──→ Nguyễn Trọng Phúc (canonical)
anh     ──[SAME_AS]──→ Nguyễn Trọng Phúc
self    ──[SAME_AS]──→ Nguyễn Trọng Phúc
Mẹ      ──[SAME_AS]──→ mẹ (canonical)
bố anh  ──[SAME_AS]──→ bố (canonical)
```

`traverse()` now follows SAME_AS edges → traverse query on ANY alias collects evidence from ALL aliases. `merge_entity_aliases()` API lets admin register new alias groups.

**Layer 2: Search-specific extraction prompt**
- Before: diary extraction prompt used for search queries → poor canonical mapping
- After: dedicated prompt with entity map+aliases, user identity hint, one-shot example
- `KIOKU_USER_IDENTITY=Nguyễn Trọng Phúc (phuc-nt, anh, self, tôi)` in `.env`

**Layer 3: Language consistency rule**
- Added to extraction prompt: entity names MUST match input text language
- Before: "tôi đọc sách" → `["reading", "books"]` (English)
- After: "tôi đọc sách" → `["sách", "đọc sách"]` (Vietnamese ✅)

## Graph DB Stats

| Metric | Config A | Config C | Config D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity nodes | ~120 (est.) | 297 | 250 + SAME_AS links |
| Relationships | ~150 (est.) | 337 | 265 RELATES + 10 SAME_AS |
| SAME_AS edges | 0 | 0 | **10** |
| Avg evidence/query | 4.3 | 1.7 | **8.9** |

## Benchmark Scoring — v1 vs v2

The benchmark scoring was also improved in this session.

**v1 (entity_match):** Did the model extract the exact expected entity name string?
- Problem: language mismatch ("stress" vs "căng thẳng"), alias mismatch ("Nguyễn Trọng Phúc" vs "anh")
- Showed 73% → 46% drop even when quality improved

**v2 (3-metric):** Measures what actually matters:

| Metric | Weight | Measures |
|---|---|---|
| `graph_quality` | 40% | `min(evidence/5, 1.0)` — graph contributed depth |
| `content_relevance` | 40% | % of results containing expected Vietnamese keywords |
| `entity_resolved` | 20% | Any canonical/alias form extracted (reject English synonyms) |
| **Overall** | | Weighted sum |

Config D overall_quality = **0.74** with v2 scoring.

## Remaining Issues ⚠️

1. **"chuyện gì xảy ra năm 2019"** — D evidence dropped to 0
   - Cause: Search prompt extracts topic names instead of the year "2019"
   - "2019" is not in the graph as an entity; temporal queries need timeline search, not graph
   - Fix: Route temporal queries (patterns: "năm X", "tháng X") to `get_timeline` instead of graph

2. **"từ Nhật về Việt Nam"** — D evidence dropped to 0
   - Cause: "Nhật" and "Việt Nam" nodes exist in graph but have 0 edges in rebuilt DB (Haiku 4.5 seems to not create location-based edges as readily)
   - Fix: Improve extraction prompt to encourage location-event relationships

3. **Content relevance 0.54** — some results are topically adjacent but not directly about the query
   - Especially for profile queries ("Nguyễn Trọng Phúc là ai" returns entries mentioning Phúc, but often in other contexts)
   - Fix: Reranker tuning or result filtering based on entity centrality

4. **Extra API call per search** — search prompt adds ~1 Anthropic call when `entities=None`
   - Mitigation: Agent should call `list_entities()` first, then pass `entities` explicitly

## Re-ingestion Stats

| Metric | Config C | Config D |
|---|---|---|
| Total entries | 71 | 71 |
| Success rate | 100% | 100% |
| Total time | 319s (4.5s/entry) | 350s (4.9s/entry) |
| JSON parse retries | ~35 | ~0 (improved) |

---

## Wins (A → D) ✅

1. **Graph evidence +107%**: 4.3 → 8.9 avg/query (entity resolution + SAME_AS)
2. **"Nguyễn Trọng Phúc là ai"**: 8 results + 0 evidence → 10 results + 10 evidence 🏆
3. **6 queries went from 0 → 10 evidence**: ai ảnh hưởng, hạnh phúc, căng thẳng, Phúc là ai, ý nghĩa cuộc sống, đọc sách
4. **Language consistency**: entities now extracted in Vietnamese for Vietnamese queries
5. **SAME_AS system**: one-time alias registration unlocks all fragmented entity evidence
6. **Better benchmark scoring** (v2): now measures actual quality, not exact string match

## Post-Benchmark Bug Fixes (2026-02-25)

### Fix 1: Temporal query routing (`service.py`)

Added `_extract_temporal_range()` staticmethod that detects Vietnamese year/month patterns:

| Pattern | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Specific year | `"chuyện gì xảy ra năm 2019"` | `2019-01-01 .. 2019-12-31` |
| Specific month | `"tháng 3/2019 tôi làm gì"` | `2019-03-01 .. 2019-03-31` |
| Relative (last year) | `"năm ngoái tôi ở đâu"` | `2025-01-01 .. 2025-12-31` |
| Relative (this year) | `"năm nay có gì"` | `2026-01-01 .. 2026-12-31` |
| Non-temporal | `"Nguyễn Trọng Phúc là ai"` | `None, None` |

Auto-injects `date_from`/`date_to` → SQLite/ChromaDB filter by date → temporal queries now return filtered results.

### Fix 2: Word-boundary entity matching (`graph_writer.py`, `graph.py`)

`search_entities()` now re-ranks candidates by match quality:
1. Exact match (`priority=0`)
2. Starts-with for multi-word, or starts-with for single-word queries (`priority=1`)
3. Whole-word inner match (`priority=2`)
4. Pure substring fallback (`priority=3`)

`graph_search()` adds `(?<!\w)query(?!\w)` regex filter before accepting seed nodes — prevents "Nhật" from seeding traversal from "Sinh nhật" (wrong entity).

### Fix 3: JSON parse resilience for Haiku 4.5 (`extractor.py`)

Root cause: `max_tokens=1024` was too small — JSON output truncated at ~2200 chars causing `Expecting ',' delimiter` errors.

Fixes:
- `max_tokens`: 1024 → **2048**
- `_parse_response()` now tries 3 recovery strategies before giving up:
  1. Direct `json.loads`
  2. Strip trailing commas (common Haiku 4.5 pattern)
  3. Walk back truncated JSON to find last valid position
- Result: **71/71 entries ingested with 0 hard errors** (vs ~35 JSON warnings before)

### Fix 4: `merge_entity_aliases()` signature bug (`graph_writer.py`)

**Bug:** Signature was `(aliases: list, canonical: str)` but all callers passed `(canonical: str, aliases: list)` → canonical string was iterated char-by-char → created single-char Entity nodes in FalkorDB with `name=list` type → crashed CONTAINS queries with `ResponseError: Type mismatch: expected String or Null but was List`.

**Fix:** Swapped signature to `(canonical: str, aliases: list[str])` + added `isinstance()` type guards.

**DB repair:** Dropped RANGE index → deleted 3 corrupted nodes (by internal ID) → recreated index.

### Re-ingestion after all fixes

```

SQLite: 71 + 4 (agent session) = 75 entries
