Chris CoutinhoandClaude Opus 4.7 6aba589a6e fix(vector): address PR review — wait=True backfill, batched writes, search helper
Addresses reviewer feedback on PR #773:

- Backfill set_payload now uses wait=True to avoid a race where
  _ensure_keyword_payload_indexes builds the KEYWORD index before
  fire-and-forget writes have committed, leaving int payloads
  invisible to filters.
- Batch points sharing the same int doc_id into a single set_payload
  call (one document → many chunks → one round-trip instead of N).
- Drop _has_int_doc_id_sample short-circuit. The sample's false-negative
  window (clean first 256 results, ints further in) is gone; full scroll
  is the dominant cost on first run anyway.
- Simplify _ensure_keyword_payload_indexes: the "already exists" 400
  branch was dead code (Qdrant returns 200 on identical re-create); any
  400 now logs a warning and continues.
- search/context.py: comment the broadened file-type guard. Add explicit
  not doc_id.isdigit() checks at the top of note/news_item/deck_card
  branches in _fetch_document_text so malformed payloads surface as
  warnings instead of being swallowed by the broad except.

Also extracts build_search_result_from_point into search/algorithms.py
to deduplicate the 71-line payload-extraction loop shared by
SemanticSearchAlgorithm and BM25HybridSearchAlgorithm. This fixes
SonarQube's quality-gate failure (4.0% new-code duplication, max 3%).

Test coverage:
- 7 new unit tests for build_search_result_from_point covering missing
  payload, note/file/deck_card metadata, int doc_id coercion, and
  metadata_extras merging.
- Replace _has_int_doc_id_sample tests with clean-collection no-op and
  per-batch grouping tests.
- Update set_payload assertions from wait=False to wait=True.

"""
Hybrid search combining dense semantic vectors with BM25 sparse vectors.
Uses Qdrant's native Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) to automatically merge
results from both dense (semantic) and sparse (BM25 keyword) searches.
This provides the best of both worlds: semantic understanding for conceptual
queries and precise keyword matching for specific terms, acronyms, and codes.
The fusion happens efficiently in the database using the prefetch mechanism,
eliminating the need for application-layer result merging.
