Make the fallback language-aware.
enrich_search_results sends every result to infer_parent_scope. A non-Rust result without a hierarchical symbol name can therefore receive a Rust-style scope such as pkg::service.py. formatted_content displays this value as a breadcrumb.
Derive the fallback from result.language, or use a neutral path representation without Rust separators or the file extension. The current evidence does not show materially incorrect merge grouping because the merge key also includes file_path.

Clear symbol metadata when merging multiple siblings.
When auto_merge_hierarchical_results combines siblings, it keeps the first SearchResult metadata. A merged result can therefore contain Engine::start and Engine::stop while still exposing Engine::start. CompactResult::from_search_result serializes these fields, so a consumer can label the aggregate as one symbol. Clear the symbol metadata or represent the aggregate with a type that supports multiple symbols.

+ existing.result.part_index = None;
if item.result.score > existing.result.score {
existing.result.score = item.result.score;
}The current code also concatenates content in input order, but no inspected consumer or test establishes source-line ordering as a required contract.

Remove the shortcut that bypasses pure-relevance ranking.
If target_k covers the pool, this branch returns the input order. The API permits candidates that are scored but not ordered. For example, scores [0.1, 1.0] with target_k = 2 and lambda = 1.0 return the lower-scored item first.
Remove this shortcut so the normal selection loop orders all candidates consistently.

<violation number="1" location="crates/vera-core/src/retrieval/ranking/mod.rs:25">
P3: MMR is exported here but no code in the crate calls it: `finish_ranking` still diversifies with `diversify_by_file`, and `mmr_diversify`/`MmrCandidate`/`cosine_similarity` have zero callers outside `mmr.rs` itself. The PR's headline feature ships as dead public API. Wire MMR into the post-rerank path (e.g., run `mmr_diversify` in `finish_ranking` when embeddings are available) or keep the module crate-private until it's used; `pub use` on a `pub mod` also exposes these as external API while everything else in this module is `pub(crate)`.</violation>

P3: cosine_similarity recomputes both L2 norms for every pairwise call, and the MMR loop makes O(target_k × n) such calls. Precompute each candidate's norm once before the selection loop (and pass it in) to remove the repeated O(L) norm passes over the pool.

P3: The module doc advertises "BFS/DFS graph traversals" but only BFS is implemented (traverse, find_shortest_path, transitive_closure all use a queue); no DFS API exists. Adjust the doc to say BFS-only, or add a dfs_traverse variant if depth-first ordering is intended.

docs/architecture.md repeats the MMR, multi-hop, and context-enrichment behavior documented in docs/features.md. Keep these lines as module ownership pointers and link to docs/features.md for feature details.
As per path instructions: docs must keep one fact in exactly one place.

Adds four retrieval and context-engineering capabilities to
vera-core: MMR-based result diversification, multi-hop symbol graph analysis, context enrichment with AST auto-merging, and context compression with budget packing. All are new modules and exports; existing retrieval behavior is unchanged. Also bumpsrustlsto 0.23.45 to resolve a RUSTSEC advisory in CI.mmr_diversifybalances relevance against redundancy so retrieved pools cover diverse modules instead of duplicate definitions.SymbolGraphoffers cycle-safe BFS/DFS traversal, Tarjan SCC detection, Kahn topological sort, and transitive closure.pack_results_within_budgetcompresses results to declaration signatures and packs them to a character limit, stopping immediately if the top-ranked result exceeds the budget on its own.Written for commit c632848. Summary will update on new commits.
