haiku.rag.config exported two configuration instances: the lazy _config
behind get_config/set_config, and Config, loaded at import time. Nothing
linked them, and eleven signatures captured Config as a default argument,
so set_config could not reach the factories, the client, the store or the
MCP server. reranking/base.py went further and snapshotted the configured
reranker name into a class attribute at import.
Config is removed. Internal defaults are config: AppConfig | None = None,
resolved through get_config() per call. RerankerBase._model is None and
CohereReranker takes its model name as an argument, like every other
reranker.
The suite patched attributes on Config while production read the instance
get_config() returns, a different object, so those patches were no-ops
waiting to happen. They now go through get_config().
ToolReturn.content reaches the model as a user-role message and the pictures
arrive bare, so nothing connects a figure to the chunk it came from:
BinaryContent.identifier does not survive serialization to the vision API, and
the captions in the result text correlate only by position.
Precede each picture with its position, source chunk id and self_ref.
build_binary_parts_from_results becomes build_image_content_from_results and
returns the labels interleaved with the pictures, so both attachment sites emit
them the same way.
This does not stop a model narrating retrieved pictures as user-supplied.
Measured on gemma4-26b with a single note ahead of the batch, and again with
per-image labels: it quotes the label and still says the user provided them.
The message role wins over its text.
