This carries the recall experiment from #29 to master. #29 was merged while its base was still exp/jev-reranker (the stacked base was not retargeted after #28 merged), so its content is on that branch but not on master. The diff here is the same 12 files, all under experiments/recall/ plus one .gitignore line. Nothing in quarq/ changes.

What it adds, with the full results and caveats in #29 and in experiments/recall/README.md:

  • BM25 (no new dependency), reciprocal rank fusion and a round-robin union of embedding and BM25 candidates.
  • A one-question probe, a 38-question regression check and an end-to-end Jev run.
  • A hard set of 15 questions, labelled synthetic-draft (not human-reviewed).

Headline, with the caveats from #29: the union puts the gold page in the first 10 chunks for 38 of 38 questions (embedding 36, RRF 35), and with Jev as the re-ranker scores 38/38 Hit@1 against a 36/38 baseline. That set has been iterated on, so treat it as "loses nothing and fixes the two known misses", not as a general accuracy figure.

After merging, delete exp/jev-reranker.
