+body: "## Context\n\nSemantic/hybrid search required an embedding service (Ollama/OpenAI) + vector store, leaving air-gapped/CI/zero-setup users on the naive field-weighted keyword scorer. There was also no offline way to MEASURE retrieval quality, so relevance regressions went undetected.\n\n## Decision\n\n1. Ship a built-in **BM25** lexical ranker (Okapi BM25: IDF + k1 saturation + b length-normalization) that runs entirely in-process over the existing search corpus. It activates for --semantic/--hybrid when search.provider=bm25 (always) or auto (offline fallback only when no embedding/extension provider). Plain keyword mode is unchanged.\n2. Ship **pm eval**: an nDCG@k / MRR@k / precision@k / recall@k runner over a git-tracked golden-query set, with --fail-under as a CI gate.\n\n## Rationale\n\n- BM25 is a strong, dependency-free lexical baseline — far better than raw term counts, available with zero setup, and reuses the configurable search.corpus_fields. It is honestly tagged matched_fields:[bm25] and documented as below dense retrieval.\n- Reusing combineHybridHits (with a dense-component label param) and forceExactIdHitsToTop kept BM25 consistent with the vector path (exact-ID guarantee preserved) and minimized new branches.\n- A binary-relevance golden set is cheap to curate yet supports DCG's positional discount; --fail-under makes relevance a build-gateable signal. The eval harness is the validation vehicle for BM25 and any future provider/weight change.\n\n## Alternatives considered\n\n- Bundling a WASM embedding model for true offline dense retrieval: heavy artifact, deferred. BM25 is the pragmatic first step (matches pm-75k9 acceptance).\n- A new blocking CI workflow job: deferred in favor of the reusable --fail-under primitive (CI can adopt it without a curated corpus dependency in core CI).\n\n## Consequences\n\nsearch.provider now recognizes bm25/auto; search.bm25.{k1,b} are validated/persisted knobs; eval-queries.json lives at <pmRoot>/search/ (gitignore negation keeps the cache dir ignored). pm eval is a core command (contracts + help + fixture)."

+title: Offline BM25 lexical retrieval provider when no Ollama/OpenAI is configured
 description: "When no embedding provider is configured, pm search falls back to keyword-only mode silently. There is no built-in dense-retrieval fallback that works without a running Ollama instance or OpenAI key. A lightweight offline provider (TF-IDF, BM25, or a tiny WASM embedding model) would enable semantic-quality search in air-gapped or no-setup environments."
