Module 5 phase 4 step 1 (docs/kb/modules/05-faza4-plan.md, §4): first
user-facing HTTP entry point to the KB. FastAPI wrapping
kb_retrieval.cascade_query/flat_query — GET /search (query_text -> embed via
Ollama@SOLARIA -> cascade/flat -> envelope join -> JSON with per-source
links) and GET /healthz. Search API only, no answer synthesis (phase 5) and
no server-side dist filtering — the 0.45/0.55 colour thresholds are a
frontend concern (plan §7, a later step).
Hard startup invariant (plan §2 decision 2): refuses to start unless the
configured EMBED_MODEL is present in both document_chunk.model and
document_summary.embedding_model. Note the latter: document_summary.model is
the LLM that *wrote* the summary (claude-haiku-4-5/gemma3:12b), not the
embedder — checked live against kb-postgres@PIHA before writing this, see
app/startup.py's docstring. Verified end-to-end with a live docker run: the
invariant crash-loops on a mismatched EMBED_MODEL and passes through to a
real /search hit against the live corpus with a correct model.
Repo-only: no deploy, no npm/OIDC/DNS wiring (plan §8, later step), no local
embed fallback (plan §5, later step) — Ollama@SOLARIA is called directly and
a failure surfaces as 503, not a crash.
Also: scripts/deploy/deploy.sh's gate now builds each service via
`docker compose build` instead of a raw `docker build <svc_dir>`, so a
service whose docker-compose.yml declares a repo-root build context (needed
here to COPY packages/kb-retrieval/, the packages/ Dockerfile convention
already documented in CLAUDE.md) resolves the same way in the gate as it
does at real deploy time (deploy-node.sh's `docker compose ... up --build`).
No behavior change for existing single-context services — verified against
llm-gateway's compose file.
