Knowledge Engine v2 β BM25-ranked multi-passage retrieval.
Improvements over v1:
Β· BM25 ranking (Okapi BM25) instead of raw keyword overlap
Β· Multi-passage synthesis β retrieves top-K paragraphs and merges them
Β· Phrase-level matching with bonus scoring
Β· TF-IDF-style IDF weighting for rare/common term discrimination
Β· Dynamic MIN_RELEVANCE threshold based on query complexity
Β· Zero external dependencies (pure stdlib + math)
