- Get container dimensions before creating Plotly layout to render at correct size immediately
- Add init() method with window resize listener for responsive plot sizing
- Remove post-render resize call (no longer needed with explicit dimensions)
- Improve colorbar positioning and scene domain configuration
This eliminates the visual "jump" during initial render and ensures the plot resizes smoothly when the browser window changes size.

Two fixes for the vector visualization page:
1. **CSS Loading Fix**: Moved CSS <link> from vector_viz.html fragment
to user_info.html <head> block. HTMX fragments don't process <link>
tags in <head>, causing unstyled page. Now CSS loads correctly.
2. **Camera Preservation**: Modified renderPlot() to preserve camera
position when toggling query point visibility. Previously, toggling
the "Show Query Point" checkbox would reset zoom/rotation to default.
Now reads existing camera settings from plot before updating.

Migrates from custom word-based chunking to LangChain's MarkdownTextSplitter
for better semantic search quality. This implements the chunking portion of
ADR-011.
Changes:
- Replace custom regex word chunker with MarkdownTextSplitter
- Optimized for Markdown content (headers, code blocks, lists)
- Convert from word-based (512 words) to character-based (2048 chars) chunking
- Maintain backward-compatible ChunkWithPosition interface
- Update configuration defaults and validation
- Update all unit tests (12/12 passing)
Benefits:
- Respects markdown structure boundaries
- Never breaks code blocks or headers mid-chunk
- Preserves semantic coherence within chunks
- Expected 20-30% improvement in recall quality
- Industry-standard approach (used by production RAG systems)
Note: Full reindex required to apply new chunking to existing documents.
Current vector database still contains old word-based chunks.

This commit enhances the vector visualization interface with better score
transparency and improved UX:
**Dual-Score Display:**
- Store original algorithm scores before normalization (viz_routes.py:203)
- Display both raw and normalized scores: "Raw Score: 0.842 (89% relative)"
- Update plot hover text with dual scores (userinfo_routes.py:740)
- Fixes issue where all queries showed at least one 100% match regardless
of actual relevance (normalization artifact)
**UI Improvements:**
1. Fusion Method dropdown: Changed from x-show to :disabled
- Prevents jarring layout shift when switching algorithms
- Dropdown stays visible but grayed out when Semantic is selected
- Better UX with opacity: 0.5 and cursor: not-allowed
2. Score Threshold: Changed step from 0.1 to "any"
- Allows arbitrary float precision (0.7, 0.85, 0.123)
- Users can now fine-tune threshold values
3. Document Types: Converted multi-select to checkbox grid
- Replaced clunky Ctrl/Cmd multi-select listbox
- Checkbox grid with cleaner layout
- Positioned left of Score Threshold and Result Limit inputs
- More intuitive UX
**Technical Details:**
- Raw score ranges vary by algorithm:
- Semantic: 0.0-1.0 (cosine similarity)
- BM25 RRF: ~0.001-0.033 (Reciprocal Rank Fusion)
- BM25 DBSF: Can exceed 1.0 (Distribution-Based Score Fusion)
- Normalized scores (0-1) used for visual encoding (marker size, color)
- Original scores preserved in API response via getattr fallback

Added support for two fusion algorithms (RRF and DBSF) to combine dense
semantic and sparse BM25 search results, with comprehensive documentation
and unit tests.
Changes:
- Added fusion parameter to nc_semantic_search and nc_semantic_search_answer tools
- Updated ADR-014 with detailed comparison of RRF vs DBSF fusion algorithms
- Added unit tests for fusion algorithm initialization and validation
- Updated search_method in responses to include fusion type (e.g., "bm25_hybrid_rrf")
Fusion Algorithms:
- RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion): Default, rank-based, general-purpose
- DBSF (Distribution-Based Score Fusion): Score normalization using statistics
RRF is recommended for most use cases due to its robustness and established
track record. DBSF may provide better results when retrieval systems have
very different score distributions.

Track character offsets (start_offset, end_offset) for each chunk in vector
database metadata, enabling precise chunk highlighting in visualization pane.
Changes:
- processor.py: Store chunk_start_offset and chunk_end_offset in Qdrant metadata
- processor.py: Added metadata_version=2 to indicate position tracking support
- search/semantic.py: Return chunk positions from search results
- server/semantic.py: Expose chunk positions in API responses (SemanticSearchResult)
Enables viz pane to:
1. Display exact matched chunk with surrounding context
2. Highlight the precise portion of text that matched the query
3. Build user trust by showing what the RAG system actually retrieved
Position tracking uses ChunkWithPosition dataclass from document_chunker.py
which provides character-accurate offsets in the original document.

Fixed a critical infinite loop bug in document_chunker.py that occurred
when the overlap parameter caused the chunker to not make forward progress.
Changes:
- Added ChunkWithPosition dataclass to track character positions
- Refactored chunk_text() to use regex word matching for accurate position tracking
- Added safety check to ensure forward progress (next_start_idx > start_idx)
- Changed return type from list[str] to list[ChunkWithPosition]
The bug manifested when:
1. end_idx reached len(word_matches) (processing last chunk)
2. next_start_idx = end_idx - overlap would not advance past start_idx
3. Loop would continue indefinitely without making progress
Fix ensures chunker always terminates by breaking when not advancing.

Fix false-positive validation error where DBSF (Distribution-Based Score
Fusion) correctly produces scores > 1.0 but SearchResult validation
incorrectly rejected them.
**Root Cause**: SearchResult.__post_init__() enforced scores in [0.0, 1.0]
range, but DBSF sums normalized scores from multiple retrieval systems
(dense semantic + sparse BM25), resulting in scores like 1.55 when both
systems strongly agree a document is relevant.
**Changes**:
- Relaxed validation to allow any score ≥ 0.0 (algorithms.py:147-157)
- Updated SearchResult and SemanticSearchResult documentation to explain
score ranges for RRF ([0.0, 1.0]) vs DBSF (unbounded)
- Added comprehensive test coverage for both fusion methods

This commit addresses critical performance issues with vector visualization
search (reducing time from 40s to ~2s) and improves result visualization
through better visual encoding.
## Performance Fixes
### 1. Fix blocking sleep in retry decorator (base.py:51)
- Changed `time.sleep(5)` to `await anyio.sleep(5)` in @retry_on_429
- Prevents entire event loop from freezing during rate limit retries
- Impact: Reduced search time from 22s to 16s initially
### 2. Add concurrency limiting for verification (verification.py:77-93)
- Added `anyio.Semaphore(20)` to limit concurrent HTTP requests
- Prevents connection pool exhaustion (RequestError) from 90+ simultaneous requests
- Fixes false filtering (was filtering 77/90 results incorrectly)
- Note: Semaphore still in code but verification removed from viz endpoint
### 3. Remove unnecessary verification from viz endpoint (viz_routes.py:483-486)
- Visualization only needs Qdrant metadata (title, excerpt), not full content
- Verification only required for sampling (LLM needs full note content)
- Impact: Reduced search time from 43.7s to ~2s (final fix)
### 4. Restore streaming scanner pattern (scanner.py)
- Process notes one-at-a-time using async generator
- Avoids loading all notes into memory
## Visualization Improvements
### 5. Result-relative score normalization (viz_routes.py:489-504)
- Normalize scores within result set: best=1.0, worst=0.0
- Removes arbitrary RRF normalization (theoretical max didn't make sense)
- Makes visual encoding meaningful regardless of algorithm scores
### 6. Power scaling for marker sizes (userinfo_routes.py:743)
- Changed from linear `8 + (score * 12)` to power `6 + (score² * 14)`
- Creates dramatic visual contrast: 0.0→6px, 0.5→9.5px, 1.0→20px
- Combined with opacity (0.2-1.0) for clear visual hierarchy
### 7. Multi-channel visual encoding (userinfo_routes.py:740-745)
- Size: Exponentially scaled with score²
- Opacity: Linear 0.2-1.0 (keeps all points visible)
- Color: Viridis gradient (blue→yellow)
- Effect: Top results are large/bright/opaque, context results small/dim/transparent
## Result
- Search time: 40s → ~2s (20x faster)
- Visual contrast: Subtle → dramatic (clear result hierarchy)
- No arbitrary cutoffs: All results visible, best naturally highlighted

Replace asyncio primitives with anyio equivalents throughout the codebase
to establish a single async pattern. This provides better structured
concurrency with automatic cancellation on errors and aligns with the
pytest anyio configuration.
Changes:
- hybrid.py: Replace asyncio.gather() with anyio task groups
- token_broker.py: Replace asyncio.Lock() with anyio.Lock()
- storage.py: Replace asyncio.run() with anyio.run()
- app.py: Replace tg.start_soon() with await tg.start() for task status
- processor.py: Add task_status parameter for structured startup
- scanner.py: Add task_status parameter for structured startup
- CLAUDE.md: Update async/await patterns guidance
The change from start_soon() to await tg.start() enables proper task
initialization signaling, ensuring background tasks are ready before
proceeding. This follows anyio best practices for structured concurrency.
All 118 unit tests pass with the new implementation.

Improve user comprehension by scaling RRF scores to match the intuitive
0-1 range used by other search algorithms.
## Problem
RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion) scores had a drastically different scale
than semantic/keyword/fuzzy scores:
- Semantic similarity: 0.0 to 1.0 (typical: 0.5-0.9)
- RRF scores: 0.0 to ~0.016 (typical: 0.005-0.015)
This caused user confusion - a score of 0.0078 looked terrible but was
actually excellent (near theoretical maximum).
## Solution
Normalize RRF scores using the formula:
`normalized_score = rrf_score * (rrf_k + 1) / total_weight`
Where:
- rrf_k = 60 (RRF constant)
- total_weight = sum of algorithm weights (default: 1.0)
**Example transformation:**
- Before: 0.0078 (confusing)
- After: 0.477 (intuitive)
## Changes
**nextcloud_mcp_server/search/hybrid.py:**
- Store total_weight as instance variable (line 63)
- Calculate normalization factor in _reciprocal_rank_fusion() (line 209)
- Apply normalization to all RRF scores (line 217)
- Preserve raw RRF score in metadata for debugging (line 222)
## Impact
**User Experience:**
- Hybrid search scores now comparable with semantic/keyword/fuzzy
- Score of 0.5 indicates good match across all algorithms
- Consistent scale improves score threshold usability
**Backward Compatibility:**
- Raw RRF scores preserved in metadata["rrf_score_raw"]
- Result ordering unchanged (normalization is linear transformation)
- Breaking change: Existing score thresholds need adjustment
**Performance:**
- Negligible overhead (single multiplication per result)
## Testing
Verified with nc_semantic_search and nc_semantic_search_answer:
- Hybrid scores now 0.47-0.7 range (was 0.003-0.011)
- Semantic scores unchanged (0.75)
- Result ordering preserved

Move access verification from individual search algorithms to final output
stage, eliminating redundant API calls and improving performance.
## Changes
**New:**
- `search/verification.py`: Centralized verification using anyio task groups
- Deduplicates results by (doc_id, doc_type) before verification
- Verifies all unique documents in parallel using structured concurrency
- Filters out inaccessible documents in single pass
**Modified Search Algorithms:**
- `search/semantic.py`: Removed _deduplicate_and_verify() and _verify_document_access()
- `search/keyword.py`: Removed _verify_access() and parallel verification
- `search/fuzzy.py`: Removed _verify_access() and parallel verification
- `search/hybrid.py`: Removed nextcloud_client parameter passing
All algorithms now return unverified results from Qdrant payload.
**Modified Output Stages:**
- `server/semantic.py`: Added verify_search_results() call after search
- `auth/viz_routes.py`: Added verify_search_results() call after search
Both endpoints now verify access once at final stage with deduplication.
## Performance Impact
**Before:**
- Hybrid mode (limit=10): 30 API calls (10 per algorithm × 3 algorithms)
- Single algorithm: 10-20 API calls (with verification buffer)
**After:**
- Hybrid mode (limit=10): 10 API calls (deduplicated verification)
- Single algorithm: 10 API calls (deduplicated verification)
**Performance Gain:** 3x reduction in API calls for hybrid search
## Architecture Benefits
- **Separation of concerns**: Algorithms handle scoring, output stage handles security
- **Deduplication**: Each document verified exactly once
- **Parallel execution**: All verifications run concurrently via anyio task groups
- **Consistency**: Same verification logic across MCP tools and viz endpoints

* PCA reduction (768-dim → 2D) on server
* Only 2D coordinates + metadata sent to client
- Updated Phase 3 implementation plan:
* Remove ALL client-side search logic
* Implement /app/vector-viz server endpoint
* htmx form submission for queries
* Performance optimizations (caching, streaming)
This ensures:
- Minimal bandwidth usage (only 2 floats per doc vs 768)
- Client handles only visualization, not computation
- Can visualize 10,000+ documents without client lag
- Raw vectors never leave server (security)
- Same search logic as MCP tool (consistency)

Changes:
- Remove streamable-http transport override from mcp service in docker-compose.yml
- Service now uses CLI default SSE transport on /sse endpoint
- Add create_mcp_client_session_sse() helper for SSE connections
- Update nc_mcp_client fixture to use SSE transport
- Fix unpacking for SSE client (yields 2 values vs 3 for streamable-http)
Testing:
- All 4 smoke tests pass with SSE transport
- 32/34 affected tests pass (2 skipped for vector sync)
- OAuth services remain on streamable-http (unchanged)
Note: SSE transport is being deprecated in favor of streamable-http.
This enables minimal validation testing before deprecation.

After comprehensive research, the hybrid OAuth + AppAPI architecture is NOT
being implemented due to fundamental architectural incompatibilities.
Key updates:
- Status: Proposed → Not Planned
- Added validation from Nextcloud Context Agent project
- Context Agent (official NC ExApp with MCP) faces IDENTICAL limitations
- Proves constraints are architectural, not implementation-specific
Context Agent findings:
- ExApp with MCP server endpoint (~28 tools exposed)
- Uses Task Processing API for confirmations (NOT MCP elicitation)
- Works around AppAPI proxy limitations by changing protocol
- MCP endpoint is secondary feature with documented constraints
- Primary use: In-app Assistant integration, not external MCP clients
Critical features impossible through AppAPI proxy:
- ❌ MCP sampling (eliminates RAG/LLM features)
- ❌ MCP elicitation (user prompts)
- ❌ Real-time progress updates
- ❌ Bidirectional streaming
- Validated by Context Agent facing same limitations
Decision rationale:
- MCP requires multi-turn nested interactions
- AppAPI provides stateless request/response proxy only
- No implementation effort can bridge this fundamental gap
- Would require complete AppAPI redesign (WebSocket, message routing)
- Even official Nextcloud projects work around these limitations
Alternative considered for future:
- Register as Task Processing provider (different product)
- Use Nextcloud Assistant UI (not external MCP clients)
- Accept different capabilities (no sampling, custom flows)
OAuth mode remains sole solution for external MCP client integration.

Previously, an empty query string to nc_notes_search_notes would return
zero results due to an early return when no query tokens were present.
This was counterintuitive - users expect an empty query to list all
notes, not return nothing.
Changes:
- Modified NotesSearchController.search_notes() to return all notes
when query is empty
- Added documentation to clarify this behavior
- Empty query results have _score: None (no relevance scoring)
- Non-empty query results continue to have relevance scores
Fixes behavior where listing all notes was impossible via the search tool.

Fixes#296
The application code was looking for OIDC_CLIENT_ID and OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET
(without NEXTCLOUD_ prefix), but the Helm chart, documentation, and CLI
all use NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID and NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET.
This mismatch caused OAuth deployments via Helm to fail with crashloops
because the credentials weren't being found.
Changes:
- app.py: Use NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET in setup_oauth_config()
- config.py: Use NEXTCLOUD_OIDC_CLIENT_ID/SECRET in get_settings()
- Updated documentation comments and error messages
This aligns with the documented naming convention where all Nextcloud-related
environment variables use the NEXTCLOUD_ prefix.

Changes:
- observability/metrics.py:
* New instrument_tool() decorator for automatic timing and error tracking
* Compatible with @mcp.tool() and @require_scopes() decorators
* Records tool_name, duration, and success/error status
- server/notes.py:

* nc_notes_create_note, nc_notes_update_note, nc_notes_append_content
* nc_notes_search_notes, nc_notes_get_note, nc_notes_get_attachment
* nc_notes_delete_note
These metrics will populate the MCP Tool Calls dashboard panels.
Part of PR #295 - Complete metrics instrumentation (Phase 5)
Remaining: 86 tools across 8 server files
This ADR documents the architectural decision to support both OAuth and
AppAPI (ExApp) deployment modes in a single codebase with 90%+ code sharing.
Key additions:
- Comprehensive analysis of AppAPI limitations and challenges
- Feature parity matrix comparing OAuth vs AppAPI modes
- Resolution of critical open questions via research:
* Non-browser client authentication (app passwords/OAuth)
* Streaming transport compatibility (buffered, not real-time)
* Callbacks/webhooks (MCP notifications not possible in AppAPI)
- Detailed implementation plan with 4 phases (10 days)
- Mode-aware architecture with abstraction layer
Critical findings:
- AppAPI mode does NOT support MCP sampling (RAG features)
- No real-time progress updates (use Nextcloud notifications)
- Buffered streaming only (Streamable HTTP works, WebSocket doesn't)
- Requires app password support in AppAPI proxy
Deployment mode selection:
- OAuth: Multi-tenant, external clients, sampling/RAG, real-time updates
- AppAPI: Single-tenant, simplified install, native UI, admin-controlled
Related to investigation of ~/Software/app_api/ and ~/Software/nc_py_api/
for AppAPI integration patterns.

Fixes Kubernetes label validation error when deploying dashboard ConfigMap.
Problem:
- Kubernetes labels cannot contain spaces (validation regex: [A-Za-z0-9][-A-Za-z0-9_.]*[A-Za-z0-9])
- Previous implementation had grafana_folder: "Nextcloud MCP" as a label
- Deployment failed with: "Invalid value: 'Nextcloud MCP'"
Solution:
- Move grafana_folder from labels to annotations (annotations allow spaces)
- Keep grafana_dashboard="1" as label for ConfigMap discovery
- Grafana sidecar reads folder name from folderAnnotation parameter
Changes:
- dashboard-configmap.yaml: Move grafana_folder to annotations section
- dashboards/README.md: Fix kubectl commands to use annotations
- values.yaml: Update comments to clarify annotation usage
This follows the standard kube-prometheus-stack pattern where:
- Labels are used for ConfigMap discovery (strict validation)
- Annotations are used for metadata like folder names (relaxed validation)

Implement real-time vector sync status updates in the /app UI without
requiring page refreshes. The status (indexed documents, pending
documents, sync state) now updates automatically every 3 seconds.
Changes:
- Add vector_sync_status_fragment() endpoint that returns HTML fragment
with current vector sync status
- Modify user_info_html() to use htmx loading for vector sync section
with hx-trigger="load" on initial render
- Status fragment includes hx-trigger="every 3s" for continuous polling
- Add /app/vector-sync/status route to browser_routes
The implementation uses htmx (already loaded on page) to poll the status
endpoint, providing near real-time updates with minimal overhead. The
endpoint queries Qdrant for indexed count and reads from memory streams
for pending count, returning only the status HTML fragment.
Pattern follows existing webhook management UI which also uses htmx
for dynamic loading.

Manual testing of Nextcloud webhook_listeners app to validate webhook
payloads against ADR-010 expected schemas and document implementation
requirements for webhook-based vector synchronization.
## Changes
- Add test webhook endpoint at /webhooks/nextcloud in app.py
- Captures and logs webhook payloads for analysis
- Returns 200 OK immediately for webhook delivery confirmation
- Create webhook-testing-findings.md with comprehensive test results
- Captured payloads for 5/6 webhook event types
- Critical findings: missing node.id in deletions, type mismatches
- Implementation recommendations with code examples
- Update ADR-010 with Appendix A: Manual Webhook Testing Results
- Document actual vs expected webhook behavior
- Update event mapping table with tested webhook status
- Add 6 specific implementation recommendations
- Include testing implications for future development
## Testing Results
✅ NodeCreatedEvent - fires correctly, includes node.id (integer)
✅ NodeWrittenEvent - fires correctly, includes node.id (integer)
✅ NodeDeletedEvent - fires but missing node.id field (path only)
✅ CalendarObjectCreatedEvent - fires correctly with full iCal
✅ CalendarObjectUpdatedEvent - fires correctly with full iCal
❌ CalendarObjectDeletedEvent - does not fire (potential NC bug)
## Key Findings
1. NodeDeletedEvent missing node.id field - requires path-based fallback
2. node.id returns integer not string - needs casting for consistency
3. Multiple webhooks fire per operation - needs deduplication logic
4. Calendar deletion webhooks don't fire - reported as issue #53497
5. Calendar webhooks include full iCal content - enables rich parsing

Simplifies the OpenTelemetry tracing setup by removing the redundant
OTEL_ENABLED flag and using the presence of OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
to determine if tracing should be enabled. This follows the standard
OpenTelemetry environment variable conventions more closely.
Changes:
- Remove OTEL_ENABLED/tracing_enabled flag in favor of checking if
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set
- Add OTEL_EXPORTER_VERIFY_SSL configuration option for OTLP endpoints
with self-signed certificates (defaults to false for development)
- Move HTTPXClientInstrumentor initialization to module level to ensure
httpx calls are traced across all Nextcloud API requests
- Add tracing spans to vector sync operations (scan_user_documents)
- Fix authorization header logging to only warn about missing headers
in OAuth mode (BasicAuth mode doesn't use Authorization headers)
- Update observability documentation to reflect simplified configuration
- Refactor Dockerfile to use --no-editable flag for uv sync
Breaking changes:
- OTEL_ENABLED environment variable is removed
- Tracing is now automatically enabled when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
is set
Migration guide:
- Remove OTEL_ENABLED=true from environment configuration
- Tracing will be enabled automatically if OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
is configured

The test_attachments_category_change_handling test was failing in CI with
HTTP 412 Precondition Failed errors. This is caused by the background vector
scanner (runs every 10 seconds) modifying notes between when the test fetches
the ETag and when it attempts to update the category.
Solution: Added retry logic (up to 3 attempts) that refetches the latest ETag
and retries the update operation when encountering 412 errors. This handles
the race condition gracefully while still catching genuine errors.
Health check and metrics endpoints are frequently polled and don't
provide meaningful trace data. This change skips OpenTelemetry span
creation for:
- /health/* (liveness, readiness checks)
- /metrics (Prometheus metrics)
These endpoints still record Prometheus metrics (request count, latency,
in-flight requests) but no longer create trace spans, reducing tracing
noise and storage costs.

The Nextcloud Notes API intentionally returns all note IDs (with only 'id'
field) in the last chunk to enable deletion detection. Without using the
pruneBefore parameter, this causes duplicates - all notes appear with full
data in chunks, then again with minimal data in the last chunk.
This commit implements proper pruneBefore support:
- NotesClient.get_all_notes() now accepts prune_before timestamp parameter
- Scanner calculates max(indexed_at) from Qdrant to use as prune threshold
- Only notes modified after this timestamp are sent with full data
- Deduplication logic handles the API's deletion detection pattern
- Significantly reduces data transfer for incremental syncs
The behavior is documented in Notes API v1 spec - this is not an API bug,
but a feature we weren't utilizing correctly.

This PR enables safe switching between embedding models and multi-server
deployments by implementing auto-generated Qdrant collection names based on
deployment ID and model name.
## Problem
Previously, all deployments used a single hardcoded collection name
"nextcloud_content", which caused two critical issues:
1. **Dimension mismatches when switching models**: Changing
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL (e.g., nomic-embed-text at 768D → all-minilm at
384D) would cause runtime errors as vectors couldn't be inserted into a
collection with incompatible dimensions.
2. **Collection collisions in multi-server setups**: Multiple MCP servers
sharing a single Qdrant instance would overwrite each other's data,
making horizontal scaling impossible.
## Solution
### Auto-Generated Collection Naming
Collections are now automatically named using the pattern:
\`{deployment-id}-{model-name}\`
**Deployment ID**: Uses \`OTEL_SERVICE_NAME\` if configured (and not default
value), otherwise falls back to \`hostname\` for simple Docker deployments.
**Model Name**: From \`OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL\` with path separators sanitized.
**Examples**:
- \`my-mcp-server-nomic-embed-text\` (with OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=my-mcp-server)
- \`mcp-container-all-minilm\` (simple Docker, hostname=mcp-container)
**Override**: Users can still set \`QDRANT_COLLECTION\` explicitly to bypass
auto-generation for backward compatibility.
### Dimension Validation
Added startup validation that checks collection dimensions match the
embedding service. If a mismatch is detected, the server fails fast with a
clear error message explaining:
- Expected vs actual dimensions
- Likely cause (model change)
- Solutions (delete collection, use different name, or revert model)
### Improved Sampling Error Handling
Enhanced MCP sampling rejection handling to treat user rejections as normal
behavior rather than errors:
- **User rejections** ("rejected", "denied") → INFO log, no traceback
- **Unsupported clients** → INFO log, no traceback
- **Other MCP errors** → WARNING log, no traceback
- **Unexpected errors** → ERROR log WITH traceback
This aligns with the MCP specification where clients SHOULD prompt users for
approval/denial of sampling requests.
## Changes
### Core Implementation
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/config.py**: Added \`get_collection_name()\` method
with deployment ID detection and model name sanitization
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/qdrant_client.py**: Dimension validation on
collection open with helpful error messages
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/vector/{scanner,processor}.py**: Updated to use
\`get_collection_name()\`
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/auth/userinfo_routes.py**: Vector sync status uses
\`get_collection_name()\`
- **nextcloud_mcp_server/server/semantic.py**:
- Updated semantic search tools to use \`get_collection_name()\`
- Improved sampling rejection error handling (McpError vs Exception)
### Documentation
- **docs/semantic-search-architecture.md**: New comprehensive architecture
document (557 lines) covering background sync, semantic search flow, RAG
implementation, and deployment modes
- **docs/configuration.md**: Added detailed "Qdrant Collection Naming"
section with examples and multi-server deployment guidance
- **docker-compose.yml**: Added comments explaining collection naming behavior
- **README.md**: Updated semantic search descriptions to clarify
experimental status, Notes-only support, and infrastructure requirements
## Migration Guide
**For existing single-server deployments:**
Option 1 (Recommended): Use explicit collection name for continuity
\`\`\`bash
QDRANT_COLLECTION=nextcloud_content # Keep existing collection
\`\`\`
Option 2: Allow auto-generation and re-embed
\`\`\`bash
# Remove QDRANT_COLLECTION override
# New collection will be created based on deployment ID + model
# Requires re-embedding all documents (may take time)
\`\`\`
**For new multi-server deployments:**
Set unique OTEL service names per server:
\`\`\`bash
# Server 1
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=mcp-prod
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
# → Collection: "mcp-prod-nomic-embed-text"
# Server 2
OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=mcp-staging
OLLAMA_EMBEDDING_MODEL=nomic-embed-text
# → Collection: "mcp-staging-nomic-embed-text"
\`\`\`
## Benefits
✅ **Safe model switching**: Each model gets its own collection, preventing
dimension mismatch errors
✅ **Multi-server support**: Multiple MCP servers can share one Qdrant
instance without conflicts
✅ **Clear ownership**: Collection names show which deployment and model owns
the data
✅ **Better error messages**: Dimension validation provides actionable
guidance
✅ **Backward compatible**: Existing deployments can continue using
\`QDRANT_COLLECTION\` override
## Testing
Validated with:
- Single-server deployments (default hostname-based naming)
- Multi-server deployments (OTEL service name-based naming)
- Model switching scenarios (dimension validation)
- Collection override scenarios (backward compatibility)
Next steps: Testing various Ollama embedding models to investigate optimal
chunk sizes and performance characteristics.
