+"""Top-k retrieval for OpenCRE Chat (#1075, implements #962).
+
+Chat used to stuff the single nearest Standard embedding into the prompt
+(``argmax-1``). This module replaces that with a small two-lane retriever that
+reuses the Librarian seams instead of inventing a second RAG stack:
+
+- **pgvector lane** (prod / Heroku): ``db.find_top_k_similar_embedding_ids``,
+ the ``LIMIT :k`` sibling of the top-1 query chat already used. No torch.
+- **in-memory lane** (SQLite dev / CI): the same paginated embedding walk chat
+ already had, ranked with ``candidate_retriever.top_k_cosine`` so Module C
+ and Chat order candidates identically.
+
+Two lanes run on one question embedding: Standards (what Rob's SAMM example
+needs) and CREs (the hub). Each lane is cut at its own **break-off** (keep
+anything within ``delta`` of that lane's best score and above the existing
+``CHATBOT_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD`` floor), because a CRE embedding is mostly a name
+and its score says nothing about how good a Standard's text is. Standards then
+go first, one passage per document, and CREs fill what is left. The Standards
+lane over-fetches, since one document can own the top rows, though past
+``LANE_OVERFETCH`` times the lane size that still hides the next document until
+#1076 gives section-level rows. Passages share a
+character budget, and a result with no real text counts as no result.
+
+Rerank is a one-function hook (``rerank_fn``) so the cross-encoder (dev) and
+``title_boost`` (when #1088 lands) slot in without touching this file again.
+
+Environment (all optional):
+ CHATBOT_TOPK_RETRIEVE Standards wanted before dedupe; the lane fetches
+ LANE_OVERFETCH times this (default 8)
+ CHATBOT_TOPK_CRE CRE-lane candidates (default 4)
+ CHATBOT_TOPK_PROMPT passages sent to the model (default 5)
+ CHATBOT_BREAKOFF_DELTA keep score >= best - delta (default 0.08)
+ CHATBOT_SIMILARITY_THRESHOLD absolute floor (existing, default 0.7)
+ CHATBOT_PROMPT_CHAR_BUDGET total chars for all passages (default 8000)

### Chatbot and deep links
-The chatbot matches your question to a **standard node embedding**, then answers using that node’s `embeddings_content`. When **`embeddings_url`** is set (e.g. OWASP AI Exchange with a `#fragment`), the API adds it as **`embeddingsUrl`** on the reference row alongside the unchanged catalog **`hyperlink`**; the UI shows a separate “Scoped source (embedding URL)” link. The LLM context includes an `Embeddings_URL` line for citations.
+The chatbot finds the top matching **Standard** and **CRE** embeddings for your question, keeps the best section of each document, and sends up to 5 numbered passages to the model, which cites them as `[n]`. Standards supply the text from `embeddings_content`. A CRE supplies only its description, so a question that matches nothing but name-only CREs gets an ungrounded answer. When **`embeddings_url`** is set (e.g. OWASP AI Exchange with a `#fragment`), the API adds it as **`embeddingsUrl`** on the reference row alongside the unchanged catalog **`hyperlink`**; the UI shows a separate “Scoped source (embedding URL)” link, and the passage header carries the URL for citations. The `CHATBOT_*` settings are listed in `.env.example`.
