"""Retrieval ablation benchmark.
Every claim in the README about hybrid retrieval or reranking is produced by
this module against the golden set. That is the point: "hybrid retrieval
improves recall" is an assumption until something measures it, and an ablation
that is cheap to re-run is the difference between an engineering decision and a
received opinion.
Generation is deliberately excluded. These configurations differ only in what
they retrieve and how they order it, so involving a language model would add
latency, cost, and variance without changing what is being compared.
