Fix search human-mode output to match engine API response
The Go client struct expected a nested document object and top-level page/section fields, but the engine returns flat results with metadata in chunk_metadata. This caused empty display for title, type, tags, page, and section in human output mode. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Context
|
||||
|
||||
The engine's `/api/v1/search` endpoint returns flat result objects:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"chunk_id": 123,
|
||||
"score": 0.031,
|
||||
"text": "...",
|
||||
"chunk_index": 3,
|
||||
"chunk_metadata": {"page": 12, "section_header": "Installation"},
|
||||
"title": "Git Admin Guide",
|
||||
"doc_type": "pdf",
|
||||
"source_path": "/home/user/docs/git-admin.pdf",
|
||||
"created_at": "2026-03-15T10:30:00",
|
||||
"tags": ["git", "admin"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The Go client's human-mode struct in `client/cmd/search.go` incorrectly expects a nested `document` object and top-level `page`/`section` fields. This causes all metadata to display as zero values.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals / Non-Goals
|
||||
|
||||
**Goals:**
|
||||
- Fix the search result struct to match the flat engine response
|
||||
- Extract `page` and `section_header` from `chunk_metadata` for human display
|
||||
- Maintain identical JSON output (already passes through raw response)
|
||||
|
||||
**Non-Goals:**
|
||||
- Changing the engine API response format
|
||||
- Adding new display fields beyond what was originally intended
|
||||
|
||||
## Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
**Flatten the struct to match API response.** The result struct will have `Title`, `DocType`, `Tags` as top-level fields (matching `title`, `doc_type`, `tags` JSON keys). `ChunkMetadata` will be decoded as `map[string]interface{}` to extract `page` and `section_header` dynamically, since its contents vary by document type.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why not a typed ChunkMetadata struct?** The metadata keys depend on the ingestion pipeline (PDFs have `page`, markdown has `section_header`, code may have others in future). A map is more resilient to engine-side additions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Risks / Trade-offs
|
||||
|
||||
- [Minimal risk] If the engine adds new top-level fields, the Go struct silently ignores them — this is existing behavior and acceptable for human-mode display.

|
||||
## Why
|
||||
|
||||
The Go client's human-mode search output struct expects a nested `document` object and top-level `page`/`section` fields, but the engine API returns flat results with `title`, `doc_type`, `tags` at the result level and `page`/`section_header` inside `chunk_metadata`. This means human-mode display shows empty values for title, type, tags, page, and section.
|
||||
|
||||
## What Changes
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix the Go client search result struct to match the flat engine API response format
|
||||
- Extract `page` and `section_header` from the `chunk_metadata` map instead of expecting them as top-level fields
|
||||
- Human-mode output will correctly display document title, type, tags, page number, and section header

## Capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
### New Capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
(none)
|
||||
|
||||
### Modified Capabilities
|
||||
|
||||
- `go-client`: Fix search result parsing to match actual engine API response shape
|
||||
|
||||
## Impact
|
||||
|
||||
- `client/cmd/search.go` — struct definition and display logic
|
||||
- No API changes, no breaking changes — this is a bug fix aligning the client with the existing API contract

## MODIFIED Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirement: Search command
|
||||
|
||||
The client SHALL provide a `kb search <query>` command that sends the query to the engine and displays results.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Human-readable search output
|
||||
- **WHEN** the user runs `kb search "how to change oil"`
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL POST to `/api/v1/search`, and display results in a human-readable format showing rank, score, document title, page/section, doc type, tags, and a text snippet
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL parse search results as flat objects with top-level `title`, `doc_type`, `tags`, `score`, `text`, `chunk_index` fields
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL extract `page` from `chunk_metadata` when present (PDF documents)
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL extract `section_header` from `chunk_metadata` when present (markdown documents)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: JSON search output
|
||||
- **WHEN** the user runs `kb search "query" --format json`
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL output the raw JSON response from the engine
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Search with filters
|
||||
- **WHEN** the user runs `kb search "brakes" --tags maintenance --type pdf --top 3`
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL include the filters in the API request body
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Search mode flags
|
||||
- **WHEN** the user runs `kb search "error" --fts-only`
|
||||
- **THEN** the client SHALL set `fts_only: true` in the request body
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: PDF result with page number
|
||||
- **WHEN** a search result has `chunk_metadata` containing `{"page": 12}`
|
||||
- **THEN** the human output SHALL display "Page 12" in the location line
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Markdown result with section header
|
||||
- **WHEN** a search result has `chunk_metadata` containing `{"section_header": "Installation > Prerequisites"}`
|
||||
- **THEN** the human output SHALL display "Installation > Prerequisites" in the location line
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Result with both page and section
|
||||
- **WHEN** a search result has `chunk_metadata` containing both `page` and `section_header`
|
||||
- **THEN** the human output SHALL display both separated by " / "
|
||||
|
||||
#### Scenario: Result with no location metadata
|
||||
- **WHEN** a search result has empty `chunk_metadata` or no page/section keys
|
||||
- **THEN** the human output SHALL omit the location line entirely
