"What is Varaverk" matched the PURPOSE intent, so retrieval returned every script's one-line purpose and the model answered that the context does not define the system — while README.md sat in the index unread. A definitional question with no explicit filter now goes to kind=readme. Varaverk is a coined word with no spell-check, so it arrives as varavrk, veraverk, varavek. Edit distance catches those without a pattern that needs extending per typo. This is search, not identity — a near-miss only widens a document search, unlike hostname resolution where it must never resolve.

// ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
|
||
// PURPOSE
|
||
// Detached worker for one AI chat turn. Retrieves grounding chunks, asks the generation
|
||
// model, and writes progress and the final answer to a job file the AI tab polls.
|
||
//
|
||
// OPERATIONAL MODEL
|
||
// Not an HTTP endpoint. Generation takes 25-76 seconds on this hardware — far past what a
|
||
// page request should hold open — so api/ai.php spawns this detached and returns a token.
|
||
// The job file is the only channel between the two, exactly as docker_pull_worker.php works
|
||
// for container updates. It lives under api/'s sibling Tools/ because it is part of that
|
||
// endpoint's implementation, not a scheduled script.
|
||
//
|
||
// Writes a terminal state on every exit path. A worker that dies without one leaves the tab
|
||
// polling forever, so the states are: retrieving -> generating -> done | error.
|
||
//
|
||
// Retrieval happens here rather than in the endpoint so the tab gets a token immediately.
|
||
// Embedding a query is fast but not free, and it is the first thing that would make the
|
||
// "send" button feel slow.
|
||
//
|
||
// DESIGN PRINCIPLES
|
||
// Context is assembled here, not by the model's own tooling.
|
||
// The retrieved chunks go into a system message with explicit citation and refusal
|
||
// instructions. That instruction is the difference between a grounded answer and the
|
||
// model filling a gap from training data it does not have for a private project.
|
||
//
|
||
// History arrives already trimmed.
|
||
// The endpoint caps turns before spawning. The worker does not re-derive the policy,
|
||
// so there is one place that decides how much context history may consume.
|
||
//
|
||
// Thinking is captured separately, never discarded.
|
||
// qwen3 emits reasoning that is often more useful than the answer for judgement calls.
|
||
// It is stored in its own field so the page can collapse it rather than lose it.
|
||
//
|
||
// OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
|
||
// Refuses to run under a web server.
|
||
// PHP_SAPI is checked first. Over HTTP there is no $argv, so every argument below would
|
||
// be undefined — and this process talks to Ollama and writes job files.
|
||
//
|
||
// The job file path is validated as hex before anything is written.
|
||
// It is supplied on the command line; the pattern is what keeps writes inside the job
|
||
// directory even if the caller is ever wrong.
|
||
//
|
||
// The Ollama request is time-boxed.
|
||
// AI_REQUEST_TIMEOUT bounds it, and a timeout is written as an error state rather than
|
||
// leaving the job file at "generating" forever.
|
||
//
|
||
// Retrieval failure ends the turn.
|
||
// An empty or failed retrieval writes an error instead of asking the model anyway. A
|
||
// generated answer with no grounding is exactly the confident hallucination this whole
|
||
// subsystem exists to prevent.
|
||
//
|
||
// Live state is attached only to diagnostic questions.
|
||
// Failing health checks and recent log warnings are several thousand tokens. On a
|
||
// 16384 context that is budget taken directly from the retrieved passages, so it is
|
||
// spent only when the question is asking why something broke. Log lines are marked as
|
||
// evidence rather than citable sources, so the model cannot cite a log line as though
|
||
// it were documentation.
|
||
//
|
||
// Every failure path writes the job file.
|
||
// Including the ones that would otherwise be silent — unreachable Ollama, unparseable
|
||
// response, empty content — so the tab always converges on a state it can render.
|
||
//
|
||
// ARGUMENTS
|
||
// 1 jobFile absolute path, hex-named, written by api/ai.php
|
||
// 2 question the user's message
|
||
// 3 history JSON array of {role, content}, already trimmed by the endpoint
|
