GPT Directive to Opus — P3D Vector/Search Hybrid Path-Title Boost Pack

Date: 2026-05-11 Issuer: GPT-5.5 Thinking / Incomex Hội đồng AI Receiver: Opus Workstream: P3D_VECTOR_SEARCH_RELIABILITY Mode: DESIGN/PROMPT FIRST — no implementation without GPT/User review

0. Mission

Stop P3D Pack 1 continuation temporarily and design a production-safe search reliability pack.

Current root cause from audit:

SEARCH_RANKING_NO_PATH_TITLE_BOOST_NOT_VECTOR_FRESHNESS

The recent KB documents are present and vectorized, but exact path/title queries can be outranked by older semantically similar documents because normal search is Qdrant-vector-first and does not boost document_id, path slug, or metadata.title.

1. Required reading

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/reviews/gpt-review-p3d-pack1-preliminary-design-and-inventory-next-2026-05-10.md

2. Scope

Produce a design and implementation prompt for:

P3D_VECTOR_SEARCH_HYBRID_PATH_TITLE_BOOST_PACK

The pack must improve reliability of exact KB document lookup without damaging legacy semantic search.

3. Required outputs

3.1 Design document

Create:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/design/p3d-vector-search-hybrid-path-title-boost-design.md

Required sections:

A. Problem statement
B. Evidence summary from audit
C. Current search behavior
D. Proposed hybrid/rerank behavior
E. Scoring/boost rules
F. Test cases
G. Rollback plan
H. Production risk controls
I. Non-goals
J. Acceptance criteria

3.2 Implementation prompt draft

Create:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/prompts/p3d-vector-search-hybrid-path-title-boost-implementation-prompt.md

Do not dispatch implementation yet. The prompt is for GPT/User review.

3.3 Report

Create:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/reports/p3d-vector-search-hybrid-path-title-boost-design-report.md

Report fields:

phase_status=PASS|PARTIAL|BLOCKED
mode=DESIGN_AND_PROMPT_ONLY
implementation_allowed=false
root_cause=SEARCH_RANKING_NO_PATH_TITLE_BOOST_NOT_VECTOR_FRESHNESS
no_mutation_performed=true
next_required_action=GPT_REVIEW_IMPLEMENTATION_PROMPT

4. Design requirements

The design must propose a small, reversible patch. Preferred behavior:

  1. Still retrieve from Qdrant vector search.
  2. Also compute exact/keyword boosts over:
    • document_id full path;
    • path basename/slug;
    • metadata.title;
    • maybe metadata tags;
    • optionally content snippet/body keyword overlap.
  3. Rerank candidates using a combined score such as:
final_score = vector_score + path_boost + title_boost + basename_boost + recency_or_revision_boost(optional)
  1. Exact filename/path match must strongly outrank semantically similar older docs.
  2. Preserve current output fields; optionally add debug fields only if safe.
  3. Preserve Qdrant collection production_documents.
  4. Do not reindex as the primary fix.
  5. Do not modify vector payloads unless absolutely necessary; prefer app-layer rerank.
  6. Do not implement IU vector.
  7. Do not change TAC/IU schemas.

5. Minimum test cases

Use these known queries and expected targets from the audit:

T1

Query:

GPT Review P3D Step 1 Re-authored Spec Pack 1 Directive

Expected rank:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/reviews/gpt-review-p3d-step1-reauthored-spec-and-pack1-directive-2026-05-10.md
rank <= 1 preferred, rank <= 2 acceptable only with explanation

T2

Query:

p3d-pack1-readonly-inventory-prompt revision 2

Expected rank:

knowledge/dev/laws/dieu44-trien-khai/prompts/p3d-pack1-readonly-inventory-prompt.md
rank = 1

T3

Query:

gpt-directive-agent-run-step1-checkpoint-and-pack1-inventory-readonly

Expected target remains rank 1.

T4

Query:

p3d-agent-vector-search-freshness-audit-readonly 2026-05-10

Expected target remains rank 1.

T5 semantic regression

A broad semantic query such as:

vector search freshness root cause

must still return relevant vector/search audit documents, not only exact path matches.

6. Implementation prompt requirements

The implementation prompt must instruct Codex/Claude Code to:

  • inspect current code first;
  • identify exact functions to patch;
  • implement minimal rerank/hybrid logic;
  • add tests or smoke checks;
  • run read-only preflight and post-change tests;
  • include rollback instructions;
  • avoid Qdrant/PG mutation except normal code patch/deploy steps if explicitly approved later;
  • write an implementation report.

7. Hard boundaries

  • No Qdrant collection replacement.
  • No bulk reindex.
  • No auto-heal.
  • No /kb/reindex, /kb/reindex-missing, /kb/cleanup-orphans write mode.
  • No Qdrant point delete/upsert.
  • No DB schema mutation.
  • No TAC/IU migration.
  • No IU vector implementation.
  • No event_outbox change.
  • No Pack 1 DDL.
  • No deploy in this design phase.

8. Final response expected from Opus

Return only:

  1. Design path.
  2. Implementation prompt path.
  3. Report path.
  4. Top 7 design decisions.
  5. Acceptance tests.
  6. Whether GPT/User implementation review is required before dispatch.
