"""Hybrid paragraph-aware, token-bounded chunking with overlap. Why this strategy ----------------- The corpus is scraped hospital patient-education prose: short titled sections, each a handful of paragraphs ("Belirtileri nelerdir?", "Nasıl tedavi edilir?"). Two properties follow from that shape: * Paragraph boundaries are real semantic boundaries. Cutting blindly every N tokens routinely splits a symptom list away from the condition it belongs to, which is exactly the failure mode that produces confidently wrong retrieval. * Paragraph *lengths* are wildly uneven — one-line intros next to 900-token procedure descriptions. Pure ``\\n\\n`` splitting therefore yields chunks that are both too small to be self-contained and too large to be precise. So the chunker packs whole paragraphs greedily into a token budget, recursively splits any paragraph that overflows the budget on sentence boundaries (and, as a last resort, on a hard token window), and carries a fixed token overlap across chunk boundaries so that a fact straddling a cut is still fully present in one of the two neighbours.
