+| `score_kind` | 의미 | 범위 |
+|--------------|------|------|
+| `rrf` (hybrid) | RRF normalized | `[0, 1]`, ceiling = 1.0 (양 채널 rank=1) |
+| `bm25` (lexical) | raw BM25 | unbounded (≥ 0) |

+여기서 m ∈ {lexical, vector}, k_rrf = config.search.rrf_k (default 60).
+양 채널 모두 rank=1 일 때 raw RRF = 2 / (k_rrf + 1) ≈ 0.0328.
+
+normalize: rrf_score = raw_rrf / (2 / (k_rrf + 1))
+       → rrf_score ∈ [0, 1]. 양쪽 rank=1 → 1.0, 한 쪽만 등장 → ≈ 0.5 천장.
+```
+
+`rrf_score = 0.5` 의 의미: chunk 가 한 채널 (lexical 또는 vector) 에서만 rank 1 로 등장. confidence 50% 가 아님 — RRF 수식의 산술적 천장.
+
+agent 가 trust threshold 가 필요하면 top-level `score` 가 아닌 nested `retrieval.lexical_score` (BM25 raw) / `retrieval.vector_score` (cosine raw) 사용.

 - `~/.config/kebab/config.toml` — `kebab init` 가 XDG 경로에 생성. `[workspace]` (root, exclude — include 필드는 제거됨, 지원 형식은 자동 결정), `[storage]`, `[chunking]`, `[models.embedding]`, `[models.llm]`, `[image.ocr]`, `[image.caption]`, `[search]`, `[rag]`, `[ui]` 절. `[ui] theme = "dark" | "light"` 로 TUI 팔레트 선택 (default `"dark"`, 알 수 없는 값은 dark fallback). `[search] stale_threshold_days = 30` (p9-fb-32) — search hit / RAG citation 의 `stale` 플래그 기준 (default 30 일, `0` 으로 비활성화). 옛 config 의 `workspace.include = [...]` 은 silently 무시 + 단발 deprecation warning (p9-fb-25).
+- `[rag] prompt_template_version` (default `"rag-v2"`) — RAG system prompt version. `"rag-v1"` 은 legacy backwards-compat (사용자 명시 시 유지). v2 강화 규칙: (1) fact 인용 시 [#번호] 앞에 chunk 속 원문 큰따옴표 표기, (2) 학습 지식 동원 금지, (3) 근거 모호 시 "확실하지 않다" 명시.
 - `--config <path>` flag — 임시 워크스페이스 / 격리 테스트 시 사용. CLI / TUI 모두 honor.
 - `KEBAB_*` env — 일부 키 override (`KEBAB_RAG_SCORE_GATE`, `KEBAB_EVAL_GOLDEN`, `KEBAB_COMMIT_HASH` 등).
 - XDG layout: `~/.config/kebab/`, `~/.local/share/kebab/`, `~/.cache/kebab/`, `~/.local/state/kebab/`.

+**Goal:** Add `score_kind` field on `search_hit.v1` (`"rrf"` / `"bm25"` / `"cosine"`) and document RRF formula + score interpretation so agents stop misreading the top-level `score` as confidence.
+
+**Architecture:** New `ScoreKind` enum on `kebab-core`. Each retriever (lexical / vector / hybrid) labels hits with the appropriate kind at construction. Wire serialization is automatic via existing `serde_json::to_value(&hit)`. Documentation in README + design + SKILL explains the RRF formula and the ranking-vs-confidence distinction.

+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-core/src/search.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Append failing tests to `mod tests`**
+
+```rust

+    });
+    let hit: SearchHit = serde_json::from_value(json).unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(hit.score_kind, ScoreKind::Rrf);
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify compile failures**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-core --lib score_kind
+```
+Expected: errors — `ScoreKind` undefined; `SearchHit.score_kind` missing.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add `ScoreKind` enum + extend `SearchHit`**
+
+In `crates/kebab-core/src/search.rs`, add the enum (place after `MEDIA_KINDS` constant, before `SearchQuery`):
+
+```rust
+/// p9-fb-38: top-level `SearchHit.score` declaration.
+/// `Rrf` (hybrid) / `Bm25` (lexical-only) / `Cosine` (vector-only).
+#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+#[serde(rename_all = "lowercase")]
+pub enum ScoreKind {
+    Rrf,
+    Bm25,
+    Cosine,
+}
+
+impl Default for ScoreKind {
+    fn default() -> Self {
+        ScoreKind::Rrf
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Extend `SearchHit` (add field after `stale`):
+
+```rust
+pub struct SearchHit {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    pub stale: bool,
+    /// p9-fb-38: declares the meaning of the top-level `score`.
+    /// `Rrf` (hybrid mode), `Bm25` (lexical-only), `Cosine` (vector-only).
+    /// Older wire (fb-38 미만) 부재 시 `Rrf` default — hybrid 가 기본 mode.
+    #[serde(default)]
+    pub score_kind: ScoreKind,
+}
+```
+
+Update existing test fixture `search_hit_serializes_indexed_at_and_stale` (~line 190): add `score_kind: ScoreKind::Rrf,` to the struct literal.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-core --lib
+```
+Expected: all 3 new tests + existing tests pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Re-export at crate root**
+
+Edit `crates/kebab-core/src/lib.rs` re-export block — add `ScoreKind` to the `search::` re-export list.
+
+```bash
+grep -n "SearchHit\|SearchTrace\|TraceCandidate" crates/kebab-core/src/lib.rs
+```
+
+The fb-37 task added `SearchTrace`/`TraceCandidate`/`TraceFusionInput`/`TraceTiming`/`IndexBytes`/`MEDIA_KINDS` to the same export block — add `ScoreKind` next to them.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-core/src/search.rs crates/kebab-core/src/lib.rs
+git commit -m "feat(core): ScoreKind enum + SearchHit.score_kind (fb-38)"
+```

+
+## Task 2: Label LexicalRetriever hits as Bm25
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-search/src/lexical.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add unit test in `crates/kebab-search/src/lexical.rs`**
+
+Append to existing `mod tests` (find via `grep -n "mod tests" crates/kebab-search/src/lexical.rs`). If no tests module exists in that file, the integration tests in `tests/` cover behavior — add a unit test asserting via the public surface. Inspect first:
+
+```bash
+grep -n "mod tests\|#\[test\]" crates/kebab-search/src/lexical.rs | head -5
+```
+
+If no `mod tests` in lexical.rs, add a unit test in the existing integration test file (find via `ls crates/kebab-search/tests/`). Otherwise prepare an integration test that builds a lexical retriever against a real fixture and asserts on the hit's `score_kind`.
+
+The simplest path: assert via the existing `lexical_*` integration tests. Pick the smallest one and add an assertion. Or, more cleanly, add a new integration test:
+
+Append to `crates/kebab-search/tests/lexical_basic.rs` (or whichever existing lexical test file the workspace has — check `ls crates/kebab-search/tests/`):
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn lexical_retriever_hits_carry_bm25_score_kind() {
+    // Use the existing fixture-builder pattern from this file.
+    // The intent: any hit returned by LexicalRetriever has
+    // `score_kind == ScoreKind::Bm25`.
+    let (_dir, retriever) = setup_lexical_with_corpus(&[
+        ("a.md", "rust async tokens"),
+    ]);
+    let hits = retriever
+        .search(&kebab_core::SearchQuery {
+            text: "rust".into(),
+            mode: kebab_core::SearchMode::Lexical,
+            k: 5,
+            filters: Default::default(),
+        })
+        .unwrap();
+    assert!(!hits.is_empty());
+    for h in &hits {
+        assert_eq!(h.score_kind, kebab_core::ScoreKind::Bm25);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+`setup_lexical_with_corpus` is the existing fixture name — adjust to whatever the file's helper is called. If the file uses inline `tempfile::tempdir() + SqliteStore::open + ingest_with_config + LexicalRetriever::with_settings`, mirror that pattern.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-search lexical_retriever_hits_carry_bm25_score_kind
+```
+Expected: compile error (struct literal needs new field) OR assertion failure (score_kind defaults to Rrf, not Bm25).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `LexicalRetriever` hit construction**
+
+In `crates/kebab-search/src/lexical.rs:447-471`, find the `Ok(SearchHit { ... })` block and add `score_kind: kebab_core::ScoreKind::Bm25,` (anywhere in the field list — placement doesn't matter for serde). Place it next to the `stale: false` line for visual grouping:
+
+```rust
+    Ok(SearchHit {
+        rank,
+        chunk_id: ChunkId(raw.chunk_id),
+        // ... existing fields ...
+        indexed_at,
+        stale: false,
+        score_kind: kebab_core::ScoreKind::Bm25,
+    })
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-search
+```
+Expected: new test passes + all existing kebab-search tests still pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Clippy**
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy -p kebab-search --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-search/src/lexical.rs crates/kebab-search/tests/
+git commit -m "feat(search/lexical): label hits with ScoreKind::Bm25 (fb-38)"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Label VectorRetriever hits as Cosine
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-search/src/vector.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add unit test**
+
+VectorRetriever requires embeddings, so a real-corpus integration test isn't possible without a model. Add a unit test that constructs a `SearchHit` directly through whichever helper the file uses, OR adjust an existing vector test that already builds a retriever.
+
+Inspect existing tests:
+```bash
+ls crates/kebab-search/tests/ | grep vector
+grep -n "fn build_hit\|VectorRetriever" crates/kebab-search/src/vector.rs | head -5
+```
+
+If there's a private `build_hit` helper, write a unit test around it. Otherwise mirror the lexical test pattern but stub the embedder. Worst case: skip the unit test for VectorRetriever and rely on the hybrid test (Task 4) which exercises the vector path indirectly. Document in the commit message.
+
+For simplicity, the recommended approach: add the score_kind line in Step 2 below first, then add a unit test using a simple hit-construction helper if accessible. If not accessible, the hybrid task (Task 4) covers behavior via the search_with_trace mode=Vector branch.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `VectorRetriever` hit construction**
+
+In `crates/kebab-search/src/vector.rs:304-330`, find `Ok(SearchHit { ... })` and add:
+
+```rust
+    Ok(SearchHit {
+        rank,
+        // ... existing fields ...
+        indexed_at,
+        stale: false,
+        score_kind: kebab_core::ScoreKind::Cosine,
+    })
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-search
+cargo clippy -p kebab-search --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+Expected: existing tests still pass; clippy clean.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**

+```
+
+The existing `mk_hit` helper at `hybrid.rs:730` is in the same `mod tests` block — reachable.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify failures**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-search hybrid
+```
+Expected: compile errors (mk_hit doesn't set score_kind so the struct literal is incomplete; new tests assert wrong value).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `mk_hit` test helper at `hybrid.rs:730`**
+
+Find `fn mk_hit(rank: u32, chunk: &str, score: f32, mode: SearchMode) -> SearchHit` and add `score_kind` to the returned literal:
+
+```rust
+fn mk_hit(rank: u32, chunk: &str, score: f32, mode: SearchMode) -> SearchHit {
+    SearchHit {
+        // ... existing fields ...
+        indexed_at: time::OffsetDateTime::UNIX_EPOCH,
+        stale: false,
+        score_kind: kebab_core::ScoreKind::Rrf,  // tests override per-mode
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `hybrid.rs` fuse to set Rrf after retrieval overwrite**
+
+Find `base.retrieval = RetrievalDetail { ... }` block (~line 302-314). Immediately AFTER that block (before `hits.push(base)`), add:
+
+```rust
+            base.score_kind = kebab_core::ScoreKind::Rrf;
+            hits.push(base);
+```
+
+(`base` was cloned from a lex/vec hit that had `Bm25`/`Cosine`; the fuse output is RRF-scored so override.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update `pipeline.rs` mk_hit test helper**
+
+```bash
+grep -n "fn mk_hit" crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs
+```
+
+At ~line 1092, the test helper builds a SearchHit. Add `score_kind: kebab_core::ScoreKind::Rrf,` to the literal (place after `stale`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Update `kebab-core` test fixture if any other SearchHit literal exists**
+
+```bash
+grep -rn "SearchHit {" crates/ --include="*.rs"
+```
+
+For each location, ensure the literal includes `score_kind`. The Task 1 update on `crates/kebab-core/src/search.rs:190` should already be done. Tasks 2/3 cover the lexical/vector retriever construction. Tasks 4 covers `mk_hit` helpers. If any other SearchHit literal turns up (e.g. fb-37 added some in tests), add `score_kind` there too.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run tests + clippy**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-core -p kebab-search -p kebab-rag
+cargo clippy -p kebab-core -p kebab-search -p kebab-rag --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+Expected: all green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-search/src/hybrid.rs crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs
+git commit -m "feat(search/hybrid): label fused hits with ScoreKind::Rrf (fb-38)"
+```

+
+## Task 5: Workspace tests + cross-crate cleanup for SearchHit literals
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: any other crate file with `SearchHit {` literal that broke (e.g., `kebab-app`, `kebab-cli`, `kebab-mcp`, `kebab-tui` test fixtures).
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Find all broken sites**
+
+```bash
+cargo build --workspace 2>&1 | grep "missing field \`score_kind\`" | head -20
+```
+
+This reveals every spot. Common patterns:
+- Test fixtures in `crates/kebab-cli/tests/wire_*.rs` that hand-build hits.
+- Test helpers in `crates/kebab-app/tests/`.
+- TUI test data in `crates/kebab-tui/tests/`.
+
+For each: open the file, find the `SearchHit {` literal, add `score_kind: kebab_core::ScoreKind::Rrf,` (default for test fixtures unless the test specifically exercises lex/vec mode).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Verify workspace builds**
+
+```bash
+cargo build --workspace 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+Expected: clean.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run full workspace tests**
+
+```bash
+cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast -j 1
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+Expected: all green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/
+git commit -m "fix(fb-38): add score_kind to remaining SearchHit literals"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 6: CLI integration test for score_kind
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-cli/tests/wire_search_response.rs` (or new file `wire_search_score_kind.rs` if appending feels cluttered)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Inspect existing wire test pattern**
+
+```bash
+ls crates/kebab-cli/tests/
+head -50 crates/kebab-cli/tests/wire_search_response.rs

+
+Use the same fixture pattern from fb-37's `wire_search_trace.rs` (`common::write_config + ingest + run_search_with_args`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add integration tests**
+

+
+## Task 7: Wire schema + docs + status flip
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `docs/wire-schema/v1/search_hit.schema.json`
+- Modify: `README.md`
+- Modify: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-kebab-final-form-design.md`
+- Modify: `integrations/claude-code/kebab/SKILL.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/p9/p9-fb-38-score-semantics.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/INDEX.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update `docs/wire-schema/v1/search_hit.schema.json`**
+
+Add `score_kind` to `properties` (not to `required`). Insert next to `score`:
+
+```json
+    "score_kind": {
+      "type": "string",
+      "enum": ["rrf", "bm25", "cosine"],
+      "description": "p9-fb-38: kind of `score` value. `rrf` = RRF normalized [0,1] (hybrid mode); `bm25` = raw BM25 score (lexical-only); `cosine` = raw cosine similarity (vector-only). Older clients that omit this field can treat absence as `rrf` (the historical default)."
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `README.md`**
+
+Find the `kebab search` section (or wherever flag descriptions live). Add a new "Score interpretation (fb-38)" subsection:
+
+````markdown
+### Score 해석 (fb-38)
+
+`search_hit.v1.score` 는 **ranking signal** 이지 confidence 가 아니다. `score_kind` 필드로 의미 선언:
+
+| `score_kind` | 의미 | 범위 |
+|--------------|------|------|
+| `rrf` (hybrid) | RRF normalized | `[0, 1]`, ceiling = 1.0 (양 채널 rank=1) |
+| `bm25` (lexical) | raw BM25 | unbounded (≥ 0) |
+| `cosine` (vector) | cosine sim | `[-1, 1]` |
+
+#### RRF 수식 (hybrid mode)
+
+```
+chunk c 의 raw RRF = Σ_m  1 / (k_rrf + rank_m(c))
+
+여기서 m ∈ {lexical, vector}, k_rrf = config.search.rrf_k (default 60).
+양 채널 모두 rank=1 일 때 raw RRF = 2 / (k_rrf + 1) ≈ 0.0328.
+
+normalize: rrf_score = raw_rrf / (2 / (k_rrf + 1))
+       → rrf_score ∈ [0, 1]. 양쪽 rank=1 → 1.0, 한 쪽만 등장 → ≈ 0.5 천장.
+```
+
+`rrf_score = 0.5` 의 의미: chunk 가 한 채널 (lexical 또는 vector) 에서만 rank 1 로 등장. confidence 50% 가 아님 — RRF 수식의 산술적 천장.
+
+agent 가 trust threshold 가 필요하면 top-level `score` 가 아닌 nested `retrieval.lexical_score` (BM25 raw) / `retrieval.vector_score` (cosine raw) 사용.
+````
+
+Place after the `kebab search` flag table or wherever similar reference content lives. If the README has existing `kebab search` row in a command table, add a `--trace` neighbor cross-reference here.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-kebab-final-form-design.md` §4 search**
+
+Add a new "Score scale (fb-38)" subsection under §4 with the same RRF formula block + `score_kind` field definition. The frozen design doc gets the contract; README is the user-facing copy.
+
+```bash
+grep -n "^## §4\|^### §4\|RRF\|hybrid_fusion" docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-kebab-final-form-design.md | head -10
+```
+
+Locate the §4 search section and append the score scale block.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update `integrations/claude-code/kebab/SKILL.md`**
+
+Find the `mcp__kebab__search` response shape block. Add a sentence:
+
+> `hits[].score_kind`: `"rrf"` (hybrid) / `"bm25"` (lexical) / `"cosine"` (vector). top-level `score` 의 의미 선언 — confidence 아님. trust threshold 가 필요하면 `retrieval.lexical_score` / `retrieval.vector_score` (raw) 사용.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Update `tasks/p9/p9-fb-38-score-semantics.md`**
+
+Flip frontmatter `status: open` → `status: completed`. Replace the skeleton banner with:
+
+```markdown
+> ✅ **구현 완료.** 본 spec 은 구현 시점의 frozen 상태.
+>

+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Update `tasks/INDEX.md`**
+
+Find the fb-38 row. Flip status to ✅, mirror format of fb-32..37 rows.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Run full workspace tests + clippy**
+
+```bash
+cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast -j 1

+# fb-40 Fact-grounded Answer Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Strengthen RAG fact-grounding by introducing `rag-v2` prompt template (verbatim span 인용 자도 / 학습 지식 동원 금지 / 추측 금지) and dispatching by config; keep `rag-v1` as legacy backwards-compat.
+
+**Architecture:** New `SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2` const + `system_prompt_for(version)` helper in `kebab-rag/pipeline`. Pipeline `ask` reads `config.rag.prompt_template_version` and selects template. `kebab-config` default flips `"rag-v1"` → `"rag-v2"`. No wire schema change; no public API surface change.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024, anyhow, existing `kebab-llm::MockLanguageModel` for integration tests.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-10-p9-fb-40-fact-grounded-answer-design.md`
+
+---
+
+## File map
+
+**Create:** none.
+
+**Modify:**
+- `crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs` — add `SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2` const + `system_prompt_for()` helper; replace 2 hardcoded `SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V1` references with helper calls.
+- `crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs` — flip `Config::defaults` `rag.prompt_template_version` value; update relevant default-assert tests.
+- `crates/kebab-rag/tests/` — new integration test exercising rag-v1 / rag-v2 / unknown-version dispatch via MockLanguageModel.
+- `README.md` — `[rag]` config section: default 변경 + V2 강화 3 규칙 한 줄씩.
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-kebab-final-form-design.md` §7 — rag-v2 본문 + V1 legacy note.
+- `integrations/claude-code/kebab/SKILL.md` — `mcp__kebab__ask` 응답 변화 안내.
+- `tasks/p9/p9-fb-40-fact-grounded-answer.md` — flip `status: open → completed`, add design + plan links.
+- `tasks/INDEX.md` — fb-40 row ✅.

+## Task 1: Add SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2 + system_prompt_for helper + unit tests
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Append failing unit tests to `mod tests`**
+
+```rust
+#[test]

+    assert!(p.contains("확실하지 않다"), "V2 missing 확실하지 않다 rule");
+    assert!(p.contains("큰따옴표"), "V2 missing 큰따옴표 rule");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests — expect compile errors**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-rag --lib system_prompt_for
+```
+Expected: errors — `SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2` undefined, `system_prompt_for` undefined.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2 const + helper**
+
+In `crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs`, find the existing `SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V1` const at line ~776. Add immediately AFTER it:
+
+```rust
+/// p9-fb-40: rag-v2 system prompt — fact-grounded answer 강화.
+/// V1 의 4 규칙 유지 + 3 신규 (verbatim span 인용 / 학습 지식 동원 금지 / 추측 금지).

+fn system_prompt_for(version: &str) -> anyhow::Result<&'static str> {
+    match version {
+        "rag-v1" => Ok(SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V1),
+        "rag-v2" => Ok(SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2),
+        other => anyhow::bail!(
+            "unknown prompt_template_version: {other:?} (expected rag-v1 or rag-v2)"
+        ),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests — expect 4 new tests pass**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-rag --lib system_prompt_for
+cargo test -p kebab-rag --lib rag_v2_contains_three_new_rules
+```
+Expected: all 4 tests pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs
+git commit -m "feat(rag): SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2 + system_prompt_for dispatch helper (fb-40)"
+```

+
+## Task 2: Wire helper into pipeline ask body + token estimation
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace hardcoded V1 reference at `pipeline.rs:293`**
+
+Find:
+```rust
+        let system = SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V1.to_string();
+```
+
+Replace with:
+```rust
+        let system = system_prompt_for(&self.config.rag.prompt_template_version)?
+            .to_string();
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Replace hardcoded V1 reference at `pipeline.rs:552` (pack_context token estimate)**
+
+Find:
+```rust
+        let prompt_overhead_tokens = est_tokens(SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V1) + est_tokens(query) + 64;
+```
+
+Replace with:
+```rust
+        let system_prompt_text =
+            system_prompt_for(&self.config.rag.prompt_template_version)?;
+        let prompt_overhead_tokens = est_tokens(system_prompt_text) + est_tokens(query) + 64;
+```
+
+`pack_context` already returns `Result<PackedContext>` so `?` propagates. Verify by reading the surrounding fn signature — if it doesn't currently return Result, the dispatch fn must already be propagating. Inspect:
+
+```bash
+grep -n "fn pack_context" crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs
+```
+
+If `pack_context` returns a non-Result type, refactor its signature to `-> anyhow::Result<PackedContext>` and update the caller (single site near line 275 in `ask`) to use `?`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run unit + lib tests — expect pass**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-rag --lib
+```
+Expected: all pass (existing tests use rag-v1 config which dispatches correctly to V1).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run clippy**
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy -p kebab-rag --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+Expected: clean.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+

+git commit -m "feat(rag): pipeline reads prompt_template_version via helper (fb-40)"
+```

+
+## Task 3: Flip config default rag.prompt_template_version to rag-v2
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update existing default test to expect `"rag-v2"`**
+
+Find tests referencing `prompt_template_version` for the rag block. Inspect:
+
+```bash
+grep -n "prompt_template_version\|rag-v" crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs | head -20
+```
+
+Look for tests around line 763 (`defaults_match_design_64_score_gate`) and any test around line 332 default. Find the test that asserts `c.rag.prompt_template_version == "rag-v1"` (likely paired with the score_gate default test). Change that assertion to `"rag-v2"`.
+
+If no explicit `rag.prompt_template_version` default test exists, add one:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn defaults_rag_prompt_template_version_is_rag_v2() {
+    let c = Config::defaults();
+    assert_eq!(c.rag.prompt_template_version, "rag-v2");
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests — expect failure on the assertion**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-config defaults_rag_prompt_template_version_is_rag_v2
+```
+Expected: FAIL — actual is `"rag-v1"`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Flip the default value at `lib.rs:332`**
+
+Find:
+```rust
+                prompt_template_version: "rag-v1".to_string(),
+```
+
+(within the `Rag` defaults block — the parent struct around line 320-340 makes this clearly the rag block, NOT the image caption block which uses `"caption-v1"`).
+
+Replace with:
+```rust
+                prompt_template_version: "rag-v2".to_string(),
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update the default config TOML doc-string at `lib.rs:965`**
+
+Find the multi-line default config string template containing `prompt_template_version = "rag-v1"`. Replace `"rag-v1"` with `"rag-v2"`.
+
+```bash
+grep -n 'prompt_template_version = "rag-v1"' crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests — expect pass**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-config
+```
+Expected: all pass.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run clippy**
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy -p kebab-config --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs
+git commit -m "feat(config): default prompt_template_version rag-v1 → rag-v2 (fb-40)"
+```

+
+## Task 4: Update kebab-rag pipeline test fixtures broken by default flip
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-rag/src/pipeline.rs` (test helper around line 1150 hardcoded `"rag-v1"`)
+- Modify: any other test fixture referencing `prompt_template_version`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Find all broken sites after Task 3**
+
+```bash
+cargo build --workspace 2>&1 | grep -E "error\[" | head -20
+cargo test --workspace --no-run 2>&1 | grep -E "error\[|FAILED|test failure" | head -20
+```
+
+The likely failing tests:
+- `pipeline.rs:1150` test helper hardcodes `PromptTemplateVersion("rag-v1".into())` — this is an Answer fixture, not a config; if a test asserts `answer.prompt_template_version == "rag-v1"` against the actual returned answer (which now uses `"rag-v2"` via the new default), update the assertion.
+- Any kebab-rag integration test using `Config::defaults` and asserting on `prompt_template_version` field of resulting Answer.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Inspect each failing test**
+
+For each failing test that checks `prompt_template_version`:
+- If it's a fixture asserting the wire field is correctly threaded → update to `"rag-v2"`.
+- If it's specifically testing `rag-v1` template content → keep config explicitly pinned to `"rag-v1"` via:
+  ```rust
+  let mut cfg = Config::defaults();
+  cfg.rag.prompt_template_version = "rag-v1".to_string();
+  ```
+
+The test helper at `pipeline.rs:1150` is for constructing Answer fixtures used in pipeline tests. If the test merely demonstrates an Answer payload shape (not checking specific template content), update its `PromptTemplateVersion("rag-v1".into())` to `PromptTemplateVersion("rag-v2".into())` to match the new default that callers will see.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run workspace tests**
+
+```bash
+cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast -j 1 2>&1 | tail -20
+```
+Expected: all green.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Clippy gate**
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/
+git commit -m "fix(fb-40): update test fixtures for rag-v2 default"
+```

+## Task 5: Integration tests for rag-v1 / rag-v2 / unknown-version dispatch
+
+**Files:**
+- Create: `crates/kebab-rag/tests/prompt_template_dispatch.rs`

+
+Read existing integration test using MockLanguageModel:
+
+```bash
+head -100 crates/kebab-rag/tests/streaming_events.rs

+- Modify: `tasks/p9/p9-fb-40-fact-grounded-answer.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/INDEX.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update `README.md` — `[rag]` config section**
+
+Find the `[rag]` config block section (look for `prompt_template_version` or `score_gate`). Update the default value mention:
+
+```markdown
+- `prompt_template_version` (default `"rag-v2"`) — RAG system prompt version. `"rag-v1"` 은 legacy backwards-compat (사용자 명시 시 유지). v2 강화 규칙: (1) fact 인용 시 [#번호] 앞에 chunk 속 원문 큰따옴표 표기, (2) 학습 지식 동원 금지, (3) 근거 모호 시 "확실하지 않다" 명시.
+```
+
+If the README doesn't currently document `prompt_template_version`, add the bullet under the `[rag]` config block.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-kebab-final-form-design.md` §7 RAG**
+
+Locate §7 RAG section (search `## §7\|^## RAG\|prompt_template`). Append a "rag-v2 (fb-40)" subsection with the full V2 prompt body + V1 legacy note:

+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update `integrations/claude-code/kebab/SKILL.md`**
+
+Find the `mcp__kebab__ask` section. Add a sentence under the response shape:
+
+> p9-fb-40: 기본 `prompt_template_version = "rag-v2"`. 답변이 더 strict — fact 인용 시 verbatim span, 학습 지식 동원 금지, 근거 모호 시 "확실하지 않다" 출현 가능. user 가 `[rag] prompt_template_version = "rag-v1"` 명시 시 legacy 동작.

+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Flip `tasks/INDEX.md` fb-40 row**
+
+Find the fb-40 row in the index table. Mirror the format used by fb-32..38 (e.g. `✅ 머지 (2026-05-10)`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Run full workspace tests + clippy gate**
+
+```bash
+cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast -j 1 2>&1 | tail -10
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings 2>&1 | tail -5

+## Goal
+
+agent / 외부 통합이 `search_hit.v1.score` 를 confidence 로 오해하지 않도록 의미를 wire + docs 에 명시. 두 axes:
+
+- **Wire (additive minor)**: `search_hit.v1` 에 `score_kind: string` 필드 추가 — `"rrf"` (hybrid) / `"bm25"` (lexical) / `"cosine"` (vector). top-level `score` 의 의미를 hit 단위로 declarative 하게 표시.
+- **Docs**: README + design §4 + SKILL 에 RRF 수식 전체 (`2/(k+rank)` per-chunk, `2/(k+1)` ceiling, normalize 과정) + "ranking signal, NOT confidence" 안내. agent 용 trust threshold 는 nested `retrieval.lexical_score` / `vector_score` 권장.
+
+wire change additive minor — schema bump 없음, 기존 consumer 무영향.
+
+## Behavior contract
+
+### Wire shape
+
+**`search_hit.v1`** — 신규 optional 필드:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "schema_version": "search_hit.v1",
+  "rank": 1,
+  "score": 0.5,                 // 기존 — RRF normalized (hybrid) 또는 raw (lexical / vector)

+  }

+`score_kind` `#[serde(default)]` (옛 reader / 옛 writer 호환). schema 의 `required` 미추가.
+
+### Score kind dispatch
+
+| Retriever | `score_kind` | top-level `score` 의 값 |
+|-----------|--------------|--------------------------|
+| LexicalRetriever | `"bm25"` | raw BM25 (≥ 0, unbounded) |
+| VectorRetriever | `"cosine"` | cosine similarity (`[-1, 1]`) |
+| HybridRetriever (fuse) | `"rrf"` | RRF normalized (`[0, 1]`) |
+| HybridRetriever (search_with_trace, mode=Lexical) | `"bm25"` | pass-through from LexicalRetriever |
+| HybridRetriever (search_with_trace, mode=Vector) | `"cosine"` | pass-through from VectorRetriever |
+
+`SearchMode` 와 `score_kind` 의 1:1 매핑은 hybrid retriever 가 mode-dispatch 시 결정. lexical/vector mode 의 hits 는 retriever 자체가 정한 kind 그대로.
+
+### Backwards-compat
+
+- 옛 wire reader (fb-38 이전 binary): JSON 에 `score_kind` 키 없음. ignore. 영향 없음.
+- 옛 wire writer (fb-38 이전 binary 가 보낸 JSON 을 새 binary 가 읽음): `score_kind` 부재 → `default_score_kind() = ScoreKind::Rrf`. 잘못된 추정 가능 (실제 lexical / vector mode 였을 수도).
+- 정확한 의미 보장은 v0.6.0 이후 binary 로 통일 시점부터.

+| 통합 (kebab-cli) | `kebab search Q --json` (default hybrid) → `hits[0].score_kind == "rrf"` |
+
+vector mode 통합 테스트는 embeddings 의존 — unit (search_with_trace mode=Vector 시 hits Cosine) 으로 대체.
+
+## Implementation steps (high-level)
+
+1. `kebab-core::ScoreKind` enum + `SearchHit.score_kind` field + 단위 테스트.
+2. `kebab-search/lexical.rs` LexicalRetriever hit construction 에 `Bm25` 라벨 + 단위 테스트.
+3. `kebab-search/vector.rs` VectorRetriever hit construction 에 `Cosine` + 단위 테스트.
+4. `kebab-search/hybrid.rs` fuse + search_with_trace 에 `Rrf` / pass-through + 단위 테스트.
+5. `kebab-cli` 통합 테스트 (lexical-only + hybrid).
+6. `docs/wire-schema/v1/search_hit.schema.json` — `score_kind` 필드 추가.
+7. README — "Score interpretation" 섹션 (RRF 수식 + score_kind 표 + agent guidance).
+8. design §4 search — RRF 수식 + normalize 정의 + score_kind 필드 등록.
+9. SKILL.md — `mcp__kebab__search` 응답에 `score_kind` 안내.
+10. tasks/INDEX.md / spec status flip.
+
+## Risks / notes
+
+- **RRF normalizer 변경 시**: k_rrf default 변경 또는 retriever 수 > 2 확장 시 ceiling 재계산. design §4 RRF 수식 + README Score interpretation 갱신 필요.
+- **vector mode 통합 테스트 부재**: 통합 테스트 fixture 가 embeddings 없음 (`provider = "none"`). 통합은 lexical / hybrid 만, vector 는 단위 테스트로 cover.
+- **fb-37 search_with_trace 와 정합성**: search_with_trace 는 underlying retriever 가 만든 hit 을 그대로 trace 의 lex/vec list 에 채움 — score_kind 도 자동 보존. 추가 작업 없음.
+- **`#[serde(default)]` 의미**: 옛 wire reader 가 `score_kind` 키 발견 시 unknown field 거절 안 함 (serde 기본 동작 — `deny_unknown_fields` 없음, 확인 완료). 안전.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- top-level `score` rename 또는 deprecation (v0.7.0+ 검토).
+- channel score 의 추가 노출 (이미 `retrieval` block 에 있음).
+- score gate threshold 변경 (config.rag.score_gate).
+- TUI score badge / color hint.
+- per-channel score normalization (BM25/cosine 둘 다 raw 유지).
+- `RetrievalDetail.method` 와 `score_kind` 의 정합성 검증 (둘 다 같은 정보 source 지만 별도 declarative).
+
+## Documentation updates (implementation PR 동시)
+
+- `README.md` — "Score interpretation" 섹션 (RRF 수식 + score_kind 표 + agent guidance).
+- `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-27-kebab-final-form-design.md` §4 — RRF 수식 block + score_kind field 등록.

+## Risks / notes
+
+- **eval runs cascade**: `prompt_template_version` 이 `eval_runs.config_snapshot_json` 에 기록 — 기존 rag-v1 eval runs 보존, rag-v2 비교는 신규 run 필요. 기존 golden 의 retrieval 부분 (chunk_id, fusion_score) 은 prompt 무관 — 영향 없음.
+- **prompt 길이 증가**: rag-v1 5줄 → rag-v2 8줄. `est_tokens(SYSTEM_PROMPT_RAG_V2)` 가 자동 반영, max_context_tokens budget 안에서 동작 (default 6000 안 ~50 토큰 차이 무의미).
+- **strict 의 부작용**: "X 에 대해 설명" 같이 fact-아닌 질문에서도 verbatim 인용 강요할 수 있음. LLM (gemma4:e4b 기본) 이 문맥 보고 적절히 해석 — 도그푸딩에서 검증.
+- **한국어 prompt**: 영어 모델 / 한글 약한 모델 호환성. 기본 모델 (gemma4) 다국어 OK; 외부 OpenAI/Anthropic 모델 도입 시 prompt 적합성 재검토.
+- **backwards-compat**: 기존 user `~/.config/kebab/config.toml` 에 `prompt_template_version = "rag-v1"` 명시되어 있으면 그대로. TOML 미명시 사용자만 V2 자동 적용. user 가 명시적으로 옵트아웃 가능.
+- **버전 cascade 트리거**: `prompt_template_version` 변경은 design §9 cascade rule 의 5 키 중 하나. binary release 시 이 트리거로 0.6.0 minor bump 필요.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Lever B (post-generation fact span verification).
+- Lever C tuning (score_gate threshold 조정 / per-mode threshold).
+- score_kind 활용 — fb-38 의 score_kind 는 정보 surface 만, fb-40 prompt 는 score 무관.
+- prompt template 의 한글 외 다국어 (영문 / 일문 etc).
+- rag-v3 또는 모델별 prompt variant.
+- post-gen 답변에 retrieved chunk 안 substring 매치 검증.
+- "확실하지 않다" 출현 시 wire RefusalReason 신규 (그대로 LlmSelfJudge 또는 grounded=true).
+
+## Documentation updates (implementation PR 동시)

+# p9-fb-42 — Bulk multi-query
+
+## Goal
+
+agent 가 N 개 sub-query 를 단일 호출로 검색 — fb-41 multi-hop 또는 일반 query decomposition 의 surface efficiency 개선. fb-29 daemon 거부 후 stdio MCP (fb-30) 가 session-warm cache 제공해 subprocess overhead 일부 해소했지만, agent 가 한 turn 안에서 여러 query 를 병렬적으로 검색하려면 N 회 round-trip 필요. fb-42 는 단일 round-trip / 단일 process 안에서 N query 처리.
+
+**Scope**: bulk multi-query 만 — rerank hint 는 별도 task (fb-39 cross-encoder 와 통합).
+
+## Behavior contract
+
+### CLI surface
+
+```
+kebab search --bulk [--json]
+```
+
+stdin 에서 ndjson 읽음. 한 줄 = 한 query input JSON. exit:
+- 0: 모든 query 처리 완료 (개별 실패 포함).
+- 2: stdin parse 실패 또는 N > 100 또는 기타 input validation 실패.
+
+각 input item shape (single search SearchOpts/SearchFilters 와 동일 surface):
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "query": "rust async",            // 필수
+  "mode": "lexical",                // optional, default hybrid
+  "k": 5,                           // optional
+  "max_tokens": 1000,               // optional (fb-34)
+  "snippet_chars": 200,             // optional (fb-34)
+  "cursor": "...",                  // optional (fb-34)
+  "trace": false,                   // optional (fb-37)
+  "tag": ["rust"],                  // optional (fb-36) — repeated -> Vec
+  "lang": "en",                     // optional (fb-36)
+  "path_glob": "src/**",            // optional (fb-36)

+  "doc_id": "..."                   // optional (fb-36)
+}
+```
+
+`--json` 모드:
+- stdout: per-query result ndjson — 한 줄 = `bulk_search_item.v1`.
+- stderr: 마지막에 summary 한 줄 ndjson (`bulk_search_summary.v1` 또는 plain text — 구현 시 결정, 본 spec 은 stderr 로 분리하기로 명시).
+
+non-`--json` 모드:
+- stdout: 각 query 의 hits 가 human-readable block (single search plain renderer 재사용) + 빈 줄로 구분.
+- stderr: query header (`# Query 1: <query text>`) + summary.
+
+### MCP surface
+
+신규 tool `kebab__bulk_search`. tools/list count 7 → 8.
+
+input:
+```jsonc
+{
+  "queries": [
+    {"query": "...", "mode": "lexical", "k": 5, ...},
+    {"query": "...", ...}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+output (`bulk_search_response.v1` envelope):
+```jsonc
+{
+  "schema_version": "bulk_search_response.v1",
+  "results": [/* bulk_search_item.v1 */],
+  "summary": {"total": N, "succeeded": M, "failed": K}
+}
+```
+
+### Per-query result shape
+
+`bulk_search_item.v1`:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "schema_version": "bulk_search_item.v1",
+  "query": {                                  // input echo (전체 fields)
+    "query": "rust async",
+    "mode": "lexical",
+    "k": 5
+    // ... 기타 input 필드 (None 이면 omit)
+  },
+  "response": {                               // success path
+    "schema_version": "search_response.v1",
+    "hits": [...],
+    "next_cursor": null,
+    "truncated": false,
+    "trace": null
+  },
+  "error": null                               // error path 시 response: null + error: error.v1
+}
+```
+
+`response` XOR `error`. 둘 중 하나 항상 non-null, 다른 하나 null.
+
+### Limits
+
+- `queries.len() > 100`:
+  - CLI: exit 2 + error.v1 stderr (`code = config_invalid`, message: "queries: max 100 items").
+  - MCP: tool error.v1 (`code = invalid_input`).
+- `queries.len() == 0`:
+  - CLI: exit 0, summary `0/0/0`, results: empty stream.
+  - MCP: response envelope with `results: []`, summary `0/0/0`.
+
+### Per-query error policy
+
+- 한 query 의 처리 실패 (invalid filter, retrieval error, embedding 실패 등) → 해당 item 의 `error: error.v1` 채움 + 나머지 query 계속 진행.
+- summary `failed` 카운트 증가.
+- exit code 0 유지 (전체 처리 완료).
+- bulk-level abort 트리거 없음 (개별 query 실패 격리).
+
+### Execution
+
+- Sequential for-loop. App instance 재사용 — embedder cold-start / cache 비용 한 번만.
+- 같은 process / 같은 session — fb-30 MCP 의 hot cache 효과 N query 동안 누적.
+- Parallel execution 보류 (out of scope — SQLite read pool 경쟁 + fastembed CPU thread 경쟁 부담).
+
+## Allowed / forbidden dependencies
+
+- `kebab-core`: 신규 dep 없음. 도메인 type 추가만.
+- `kebab-app`: 신규 dep 없음. 기존 `App::search_with_opts` 재사용.
+- `kebab-cli`: 신규 dep 없음. clap flag + stdin ndjson parse.
+- `kebab-mcp`: 신규 dep 없음. 신규 tool module.
+
+`kebab-core` 다른 `kebab-*` 의존 금지 + UI → facade only 룰 그대로.

+
+`BulkQueryInput` 는 `serde_json::Value` 로 단순화 — 입력 그대로 echo. 도메인 type 으로 strict 하면 maintenance 부담만 늘고 backwards-compat 깨짐.
+
+`SearchResponseMirror` 는 wire의 search_response.v1 shape — 기존 `kebab_app::SearchResponse` 직접 재사용 또는 별도 mirror struct. 구현 시 결정.

+```
+
+내부:
+1. `items.len() > 100` → early Err (config_invalid).
+2. App instance 한 번 open.
+3. for-loop: 각 item parse → SearchQuery + SearchOpts → app.search_with_opts → 성공/실패 분기.
+4. summary 누적.

+    #[arg(long)]
+    bulk: bool,
+}
+```
+
+dispatch 분기:
+- `bulk == true` → stdin read ndjson → bulk_search → output stream.
+- `bulk == false` → 기존 single-query 경로 (변경 없음).
+
+stdin ndjson parse 실패 (한 줄이라도) → exit 2 + error.v1 stderr.
+
+### kebab-mcp (`tools/bulk_search.rs` 신규)
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]

+## Risks / notes
+
+- **JSON-RPC payload size**: MCP 가 N=100 + per-query trace 활성 시 payload 폭증. agent 가 cap 받으면 batch 분할 — agent 측 책임.
+- **stdin 한 줄 parse 실패**: 한 줄 lexer error 면 전체 abort (atomic 입력 단위로 봄). 부분 입력 / 부분 처리 의미 모호.
+- **summary stderr 위치**: `--json` 모드에서 stdout 은 순수 result stream — agent 가 line count 로 total 계산 가능. summary 는 stderr 인 게 stream 무결.
+- **App instance 재사용**: kebab-app 의 cache (search LRU, embedder OnceLock) 가 N query 동안 hot. 첫 query 가 cold-start 비용, 나머지 amortize.
+- **non-`--json` mode 가독성**: query 가 많으면 human reading 어려움. agent 는 항상 `--json` 사용 가정. non-JSON 은 사용자 디버그용 best-effort.
+- **fb-30 MCP 와의 관계**: MCP session 이 이미 long-lived → bulk 가 줄여주는 비용은 N round-trip → 1 round-trip. 큰 N 에서 의미 있음. 작은 N (2-3) 은 MCP 호출 N 회와 큰 차이 없음 — agent decision.
+- **rerank hint deferral**: stub 의 두 번째 lever (`--rerank-hint`) 는 본 PR scope 외. fb-39 (cross-encoder) 설계 후 별도 task 로 분리. tasks/p9/p9-fb-42 spec 의 status flip 시 "rerank hint deferred to fb-42b" note 추가.
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- LLM rerank hint (`--rerank-hint`).
+- Cross-encoder reranker.
+- Parallel execution (sequential for-loop 만).
+- Inter-query result fusion / dedup.
+- Bulk progress events (stream output 자체가 progress 역할).
+- Per-query timeout (single search 도 timeout 없음 — 동일 정책).
+- bulk session caching (App instance 재사용은 within-call 만).
+- bulk cursor (전체 bulk 의 next-page) — 각 query 가 자체 cursor 가짐.
+
+## Documentation updates (implementation PR 동시)

+- **`hits[].score_kind` (p9-fb-38):** `"rrf"` (hybrid) / `"bm25"` (lexical) / `"cosine"` (vector). Declares the meaning of the top-level `score` — it is a **ranking signal**, not a confidence value.

 - Cite back to the user as `doc_path § heading_path[-1]` so they can open the source.
 - When `truncated: true`, the budget loop modified the page (snippet shortening or k reduction). `next_cursor` is **independent** — non-null whenever more hits may be reachable. Caller may widen `max_tokens` (re-issue same query for fuller snippets / more hits per page) or follow `next_cursor` (advance through more hits) or both. Mismatched cursor (corpus_revision changed) returns `error.v1.code = stale_cursor` — re-issue the search to obtain a fresh one.
