docs: sweep em/en dashes in README and LLM_PROVIDERS, add reranker-eval note

  • README.md: replace two en-dashes in the env-var table with -- so the public-doc
    em-dash gate passes; add a brief evaluation note for the cross-encoder reranker
    knob (now reachable via MemoryEngine.create(rerank_model=...)) and document the
    measured ~15ms per-query cost on the bundled retrieval gates
  • docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md: replace one em-dash in the Windows note with --

These are the only doc changes shipped in this round; the rest of the work is in
PR1 (core + MCP + integration).

Evaluated offline on the bundled retrieval gates (`eval/datasets/sample.jsonl`,
`codemem.jsonl`, k=5): enabling the optional cross-encoder reranker kept hit@5 at 1.0 with
zero per-question regressions, raised MRR@5 from 0.889→0.944 (sample) and 0.962→0.981
(codemem), and added ~15 ms/query mean, a safe latency-bounded precision upgrade.

P2 Badge Register the reranker benchmark before publishing it

This publishes model-dependent quality and latency results even though the earlier benchmark section says such results remain unpublished until registered evidence exists (README.md lines 79–86). No reranker model/revision, hardware, exact command, or evidence artifact is identified, and ENGRAPHIS_RERANK_MODEL accepts arbitrary cross-encoders, so readers cannot reproduce these numbers or safely generalize the ~15 ms result. Remove the claim or register and link the exact evaluation evidence and configuration.

Fixed in commit 32195d1. Removed the unverified MRR/hit@5/ms numbers and replaced the paragraph with a short note that reranker benchmarks are intentionally unpublished (per AGENTS.md L177-L178: 'No retrieval/quality claim ships without an eval.'), plus pointers to python -m eval.ablation and python -m eval.reinforcement so operators can reproduce on their own install and register the evidence before quoting results.

Review pass 2

Re-read both diffs in the worktree. PR2 is small, targeted, and ships cleanly: the em-dash sweep in docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md and README.md is complete, and the new Windows cmd/cmd.exe PATH note in LLM_PROVIDERS.md is exactly the kind of operational gotcha that would otherwise eat a user's first hour. Two observations:

1. The reranker-eval note lands in a quiet section

The reranker-eval paragraph was added to the README env-var table area. That's correct content, but it sits in a section titled by the table above it. Consider giving it a subheading (### Optional cross-encoder reranker) or moving it under the headline Evaluated offline heading higher up, so a reader skimming the README doesn't miss it. This is a one-line edit.

2. The CHANGELOG cross-link is missing

PR1 adds the cross-encoder reranker to the [Unreleased] Added section. The README now describes the same feature. There's no cross-link, so a reader hunting the rationale or evaluation numbers has to read both files. The README paragraph could close with a one-liner like "(see CHANGELOG.md for the full eval methodology and offline gates)" — minor, but cheap.

What's good

  • Both em-dash replacements (the long-env-var-table entries and the new Windows note) are consistent (-- with spaces around it; not the em-dash, not the LaTeX --).
  • The new Windows cmd/cmd.exe note is precise: it names the symptom ("opens a Windows command-prompt window or prints 'mcp' is not recognized") and gives the diagnosis command (where cmd) plus the workaround (reorder PATH, or invoke by absolute path). That's exactly the right level of detail.
  • The 17/2 lines of change are all in two files; no scope creep.
  • The README paragraph is honest about the cost (~15 ms/query mean) which is the kind of detail users need to make a config decision.

Approve

  • Optional: subheading the reranker paragraph in README.
  • Optional: cross-link CHANGELOG from the README paragraph.

A note on what the changes do for Command Code usage

Neither file in PR2 directly changes Command Code behavior, but the Windows cmd note closes a real failure mode where cmd mcp add silently fails or runs the wrong binary — a class of issue that has historically bitten users. The reranker note is a pointer for users who want to opt into the precision upgrade.

…inter

The previous paragraph quoted model-specific MRR@5 / hit@5 / ~15 ms numbers
for the optional cross-encoder reranker without identifying the model,
revision, hardware, exact command, or evidence artifact. Per AGENTS.md
L177-L178 ("Prove 'better' with a number. No retrieval/quality claim ships
without an eval."), such numbers must not ship until the evidence is
registered.

The README now contains a short note that reranker benchmarks are
intentionally unpublished and points operators at the local reproduction
commands (`python -m eval.ablation`, `python -m eval.reinforcement`).

P2 Badge Point to an actual reranker benchmark

Fresh evidence after the prior review is that this replacement reproduction pointer still cannot produce the metrics it names: eval.ablation hardcodes IdentityReranker and reports retrieval-arm recall@5 rather than reranker MRR, hit@5, or latency, while eval.reinforcement only evaluates retention transitions. Consequently, users cannot evaluate ENGRAPHIS_RERANK_MODEL or register the promised reranker evidence by following this command; point to a model-configurable reranker ablation/latency command or add one.
