Three things the FinanceBench head-to-head needed the moment a real server ran the Jev pipeline:

  1. config validator accepts `retrieval.strategy: judgewalk` — it was wired into both binaries (Retrieval navigation on a Judge, and real per-page text (HAL-1371, HAL-1375) #64) but a config naming it failed to load.
  2. `ingest.mode: toc` — parse → table of contents on the Judge → persist → ready. Minimal mode skips the TOC stage, so a minimal-mode document reached judgewalk with the raw parser tree, not the Jev-built table of contents the evaluations measured; full mode adds minutes of per-section generative enrichment that page-based retrieval never reads. Both binaries log the mode; example config documents it; test.
  3. `/v1/query` reports `usage` with the same keys `/v1/answer` has always had — retrieval's usage was accumulated and dropped, so a client benchmarking retrieval alone saw $0 — and `model` falls back to the strategy name when the request named none, including on abstention, whose response had no model field and failed the SDK's schema.

Local suite green; CI red is the billing lock (HAL-1354).

Summary by Sourcery

Support Judge-based retrieval workflows with validated judgewalk configuration, efficient TOC ingestion, and complete query usage reporting.

New Features:

  • Add TOC ingestion mode for building and persisting document tables of contents without full enrichment.
  • Expose retrieval usage and effective model information in /v1/query, including abstention responses.

Bug Fixes:

  • Allow judgewalk as a valid retrieval strategy and fall back to treewalk when no Judge is configured.

Enhancements:

  • Document the new ingestion mode and log its pipeline behavior in both binaries.

Documentation:

  • Document TOC ingestion mode in the example configuration.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for judgewalk configuration validation and TOC-mode ingestion of non-PDF documents.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a table-of-contents ingestion mode for supported documents, with streamlined processing and retrieval.
    • Added support for the judgewalk retrieval strategy, including a treewalk fallback when judging is unavailable.
    • Query responses now include the resolved model and selection-phase usage details.
  • Documentation

    • Updated sample configuration documentation for the new ingestion mode.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds toc ingestion mode, accepts judgewalk, adds a server fallback to treewalk, and exposes model and usage data in /v1/query responses.

Changes

Ingest and query updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
TOC ingest mode
pkg/config/config.go, pkg/ingest/ingest.go, pkg/ingest/minimal_mode_test.go, config.example.yaml, cmd/engine/main.go, cmd/server/main.go
Validation and documentation support toc. The ingest pipeline routes TOC mode through minimal processing, builds PDF TOCs with non-fatal failures, and skips enrichment and table extraction.
Judgewalk strategy fallback
pkg/config/config.go, pkg/config/config_test.go, cmd/server/main.go
Validation accepts judgewalk. Server strategy construction uses treewalk when no Judge is available.
Query usage responses
internal/api/server.go, internal/api/abstention_test.go
/v1/query reports resolved model information and selection usage for normal and abstention responses. Tests use the expanded abstention response signature.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f3794

The new /v1/query usage and cost reporting can understate actual token and cost usage whenever query planning, re-ranking, or answer-span extraction runs, because their LLM usage is currently dropped instead of being added to the reported total. This should be fixed before merge to avoid misleading cost/usage metrics for consumers of this new field.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (broader_impact):** The validator now accepts `retrieval.strategy: judgewalk`, but the server does not add `judgewalk` to its per-request strategy set when `llm.judge` is unset. In that configuration the default strategy falls back to treewalk, while a request explicitly using `strategy: judgewalk` returns `unknown strategy` instead of receiving the same fallback behavior.

**Triggers:** When the server uses `retrieval.strategy: judgewalk` without `llm.judge` and a client sends an explicit per-request `strategy: judgewalk` override.

**Suggested fix:** Add a `judgewalk` entry to the server's strategy set using the same treewalk fallback, or reject/normalize the override consistently with the default strategy builder.

Add regression coverage for judgewalk.

Update TestValidateRetrievalStrategy in pkg/config/config_test.go to include "judgewalk" in the accepted values. This protects the new validation contract from future regressions.

…st, ready

Minimal mode skips the TOC stage, so a minimal-mode document reaches
judgewalk with the raw parser tree instead of the Jev-built table of
contents the evaluations measured; full mode adds minutes of
per-section generative enrichment that page-based retrieval never
reads. toc mode is the page-based pipeline and nothing else. Found
standing up the FinanceBench head-to-head.
Retrieval's Usage was accumulated and dropped on /v1/query, so a
client benchmarking retrieval alone saw $0 and zero calls; /v1/answer
had always reported it. The response now carries usage with the same
keys, and model falls back to the strategy name when the request named
none — a Judge-navigated query need not — including on abstention,
whose response had no model field at all and failed the SDK's schema.
