Gmer4Lfe 8896e05e35 Add a retrieval-only HTTP bridge so Open-WebUI can reach the index
Open-WebUI runs in its own container with no WebGUI session, and nginx applies
auth_request to everything it serves, so it cannot call the plugin API. Same
shape as the arr webhook listener: node outside nginx, shared secret, one
read-only verb. Serves chunks rather than answers because the caller already
has a model loaded.

// ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
// PURPOSE
// Retrieval-only HTTP bridge over the AI index. Lets a client that cannot see Varaverk's
// filesystem — Open-WebUI in its own container — search the corpus and receive grounding
// chunks as JSON.
//
// OPERATIONAL MODEL
// Started by start_ai_server.sh, which is the only thing that knows the port and secret.
// Lives outside Unraid's nginx exactly as webhook_listener.js does, because the caller is a
// container with no WebGUI session and nginx applies auth_request to everything it serves.
// The shared secret in the query string is therefore the only gate.
//
// Returns chunks, never answers. Open-WebUI already has a model loaded and is going to
// generate from whatever this returns; generating here as well would double the latency and
// burn a second model load for a result the caller discards. ai_query.sh keeps the
// generation path for CLI use — this endpoint deliberately does not.
//
// Calls search() in-process rather than shelling out to ai_query.sh. A shell round trip per
// request would fork bash, re-source three conf files and re-open the index every time, for
// a call that is otherwise a single embed plus a vector scan.
//
// DESIGN PRINCIPLES
// One endpoint, one verb.
// GET /search. No index management, no conf access, no generation. The surface an
// unauthenticated port exposes should be the smallest thing that does the job.
//
// The caller chooses breadth, within bounds.
// k, kind and section are accepted because the client knows what kind of question it is
// asking. All are clamped or validated here — the caller is trusted to express intent,
// not to be correct.
//
// Failures answer in the same shape as successes.
// Every response is JSON with an ok flag. A tool calling this has no way to render an
// HTML error page, and a caller that cannot parse the failure reports nothing at all.
//
// OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
// The secret is compared at fixed length before anything else runs.
// No index is opened and no embedding is requested until the key matches, so an
// unauthenticated caller cannot make this process do work. Compared with
// timingSafeEqual on equal-length buffers — a plain !== leaks length and position
// through response timing on a port that is, by design, reachable without a session.
//
// Read-only by construction.
// The index is opened by search() for reading and nothing here writes to it, to conf,
// or to the filesystem. The worst a valid key can do is read documentation that is
// already in a git repository.
//
// Bounded work per request.
// k is clamped to 1..25 and the query to 2000 characters, so no single call can pull the
// whole index into memory or embed an unbounded string.
//
// Bad input is refused, not guessed.
// kind is checked against the five real values; an unknown one is rejected rather than
// passed to SQL where it would match zero rows and read as "the index has no answer" —
// the most misleading failure this system can produce.
//
// Binds where it is told, and says so.
// The bind address comes from the launcher. It is reachable from the docker bridge by
// necessity; that is why the secret exists and why the surface is one read-only verb.
//
// CONFIGURATION
// argv: <port> <secret> <bind> <db> <ollamaUrl> <embedModel>
// All supplied by start_ai_server.sh from AI_HTTP_PORT, AI_HTTP_SECRET, AI_INDEX_DB and
// <HOST>_OLLAMA_URL / _OLLAMA_EMBED_MODEL.
//
// RUNTIME MODES
// GET /search?key=…&q=…[&k=8][&kind=readme][&section=PURPOSE]
// GET /health?key=… liveness only — no index access
