--search --json hard-errored, which left the search half of process rule 5's
transfer check unscriptable: the evidence bar's title/nonsense verdicts and the
per-hit tail family edges could only be scraped out of the table, so sweeping
them across several real vaults — and joining those readings with the corpus
windows make eval prints — was blocked (GH #219).

The block is gone and a search key sits beside the discovery object. It
follows the same re-derivability convention: the summaries the table prints are
left to the consumer and what they were computed from is emitted instead —
per probe (title and nonsense) the query, coverage, best-cos, the engine's
own vouched, its own note's rank, and every served row's provenance (path,
bm25_rank, cos) — plus the derived tail-family edges, which are an extremum
over the whole positive pile rather than a number to read off a row. null
means --search was not asked for, which is a fact about the invocation, not
about the vault.

Keys are additive: the discovery object is byte-identical, verified by diffing
both objects on a real-model vault.

The text block and the object are now two renderings of one SearchReading
rather than two computations, so a sweep and a human cannot be looking at
different numbers. The reading is taken before anything is printed in JSON mode,
so a model that fails to load is an error rather than a half-written object on
stdout; in text mode the table still prints first and the embedder loads after
it.

Verified against the real model on a bge-embedded vault: the text output is
byte-identical to the pre-change binary, and every value in the object matches
the block it replaces (the fake-embedded, no-calibrated-bar path too — the
model-free function-word reading is emitted, the judged halves are null).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added JSON output for calibrate --search, including search evidence, probe results, rankings, and derived tail-family readings.
    • Combined discovery and search-side readings in one machine-readable result, enabling vault-wide sweeps without parsing table output.
    • Existing discovery JSON remains unchanged; search data is included only when requested.
  • Documentation

    • Updated calibrate and evaluation documentation to describe the expanded JSON output.

The block is gone and a `search` key sits beside the discovery object. It
follows the same re-derivability convention: the summaries the table prints are
left to the consumer and what they were computed *from* is emitted instead —
per probe (title and nonsense) the query, coverage, best-cos, the **engine's**
own `vouched`, its own note's rank, and every served row's provenance (`path`,
`bm25_rank`, `cos`) — plus the derived tail-family edges, which are an extremum
over the whole positive pile rather than a number to read off a row. `null`
means `--search` was not asked for, which is a fact about the invocation, not

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The calibration command now computes structured search transfer readings once. Text and JSON output render the same data. JSON supports --search, includes an additive search object, and preserves the existing discovery object.

Changes

Search calibration output

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build structured search readings
crates/b2-embed/examples/calibrate.rs
The command adds structured search and tail-reading types. It computes probe rankings, row provenance, function-word weights, and tail-family edges.
Render search readings as text
crates/b2-embed/examples/calibrate.rs
Text output now renders SearchReading and uses shared optional-value formatting.
Expose search readings in JSON
crates/b2-embed/examples/calibrate.rs, Makefile, docs/evals.md
--search --json now emits search readings, with rounded numeric fields and documented output. Model loading occurs before JSON output begins.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 191a2

The change adds structured search results without altering existing text output or introducing a new execution boundary. The remaining concerns are limited to documenting null behavior and clarifying an optional schema shape, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

A rabbit reads the search bar bright
It gathers probes in rows of light
One reading serves both text and JSON
Tail edges hop where results spawn
The vault sweep needs no scraped page

Document the no-calibrated-bar case for the search key.

search_json sets bar, positives, negatives, and tail to null when the active model has no calibrated bar. The text says only that search itself is null without --search. Add one sentence so a sweep script expects nulls inside search too.

1240-1333: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

JSON emits null for bar, positives, negatives, and tail together.

When reading.judged is None, four keys become null at once. A consumer must test all four or pick one arbitrarily. Consider one nested judged object, or one explicit reason field, so a sweep can branch on a single key.

This is optional; the current shape is documented in docs/evals.md.

PR #226 review: `bar`, `positives`, `negatives` and `tail` all went `null`
together when the active model has no calibrated bar, leaving a consumer to test
four keys or pick one arbitrarily. They exist together or not at all, so they now
nest under the `Option` that decides it — one `judged` key to branch on, the same
shape the reading already has in the type.

The function-word weights stay outside it: that half is model-free and is read
either way, which is the distinction the flat shape blurred.

`docs/evals.md` says so, so a sweep script expects the null before it meets one.

Verified on both paths: a bge-embedded vault (judged present, bar and all three
piles under it) and a fake-embedded one (judged null, function words still there).
