## 5. Database/Schema Alignment

### Status: N/A

*N/A because the session introduced no DB-layer changes, migrations, indexes, constraints, seeds, ORM metadata, or persisted server schema artifacts.*

* [x] Matching schema artifact exists for each relevant DB-layer change: N/A
* [x] Code and schema artifacts are aligned: N/A
* [x] Migration/status/diff check passed locally: N/A
* [x] Seed or rollback updates included when conventions require them: N/A

### Issues Found

N/A - no DB-layer changes.

***

## 6. Success Criteria

From `spec.md`:

### Functional Requirements

* [x] Palette opens with Ctrl/Cmd+K and `/`, closes with Escape, focuses the search input, and does not steal typing shortcuts from inputs, textareas, or contenteditable elements.
* [x] Palette searches topic names, canonical IDs, aliases, categories/themes, source names, evidence titles/snippets, and creator/action angles from the loaded payload only.
* [x] Enter selects the best result and navigates to the owning view with a `#topic:<id>` target when the result belongs to a topic.
* [x] Result sets are bounded, deterministically ordered, and show explicit loading, empty, error, and offline/fallback states.
* [x] Feature-hash vectors are deterministic, L2-normalized, dependency-free, and backed by lexical fallback when vector ranking is unavailable.
* [x] No generated browser payload stores 384-float vector arrays.
* [x] Theme-rollup fallback grouping improves over keyword overlap while preserving valid analyst labels.
* [x] Fallback topic clustering uses title similarity instead of source grouping when AI analysis is unavailable.
* [x] ADR 0002 records the shipped feature-hash outcome without adding a model dependency.

### Testing Requirements

* [x] Unit tests cover vector determinism, cosine thresholds, lexical fallback, bounded grouping, and no-vector-payload publication.
* [x] View-model/index tests cover search scopes, aliases, source/evidence matching, hybrid ranking, and deterministic tie-breakers.
* [x] Component tests cover keyboard open/close, focus, scope changes, Enter selection, empty/error states, and input shortcut suppression.
* [x] Collector tests cover similarity grouping and fallback topic clustering without changing AI-mode clustering.
* [x] Browser smoke confirms the palette opens with `/`, Enter navigates to `/extensions/trend-finder/trends#topic:topic-001`, and Ctrl+K opens/closes the palette on the route.

### Non-Functional Requirements

* [x] No new dependencies or vector database are added.
* [x] Browser payload remains under the existing Trend Finder payload boundary.
* [x] Palette remains keyboard reachable, screen-reader labeled, and reduced-motion safe.
* [x] All files ASCII-encoded.
* [x] Unix LF line endings.
* [x] Code follows project conventions.

### Quality Gates

* [x] Focused Vitest suites pass for vector helpers, search index, palette, theme rollups, topics, collector, and schema/payload safety.
* [x] `bun run typecheck` and `bun run typecheck:scripts` pass.
* [x] No secret, private path, raw source payload, prompt, provider response, or credential-shaped string is introduced into browser data.

## 7. Conventions Compliance

### Status: PASS

| Category       | Status | Notes                                                                                                                                                     |
| -------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Naming         | PASS   | Trend Finder naming and descriptive helper names are consistent with `.spec_system/CONVENTIONS.md`.                                                       |
| File Structure | PASS   | Shared helpers, scripts, component tests, extension tests, and docs are in expected locations.                                                            |
| Error Handling | PASS   | Browser vector failures fall back to lexical ranking; collector payload drift throws before publication; storage access catches browser storage failures. |
| Comments       | PASS   | No obvious commented-out code or excessive explanatory comments added.                                                                                    |
| Testing        | PASS   | Tests are close to the behavior they cover and focus on behavior rather than implementation details.                                                      |

### Convention Violations

| Failure paths      | PASS   | `src/extensions/trend-finder/text-vectors.ts`                     | Missing Web Crypto, stale queries, failures, and timeouts return lexical fallback or stale results. |
| Contract alignment | PASS   | `scripts/extensions/trend-finder/collector.ts`                    | Browser payload publication rejects vector-shaped arrays and preserves data boundary.               |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai-os-and-trend-finder.gitbook.io/ai-os-and-trend-finder-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase28-session11-search-palette-and-deterministic-embeddings/validation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
