-# Various formats will be parsed into a VERSION and an optional PACKAGE_NAME, where
-# PACKAGE_NAME must be the name of a Cargo package in your workspace, and VERSION
-# must be a Cargo-style SemVer Version (must have at least major.minor.patch).
-#
-# If PACKAGE_NAME is specified, then the announcement will be for that
-# package (erroring out if it doesn't have the given version or isn't dist-able).
-#
-# If PACKAGE_NAME isn't specified, then the announcement will be for all
-# (dist-able) packages in the workspace with that version (this mode is
-# intended for workspaces with only one dist-able package, or with all dist-able
-# packages versioned/released in lockstep).
-#
-# If you push multiple tags at once, separate instances of this workflow will
-# spin up, creating an independent announcement for each one. However, GitHub
-# will hard limit this to 3 tags per commit, as it will assume more tags is a
-# mistake.
-#
-# If there's a prerelease-style suffix to the version, then the release(s)

+# Changelog
+## Unreleased
+
+## 1.0.2 (2026-02-15)
+- Fix: edge case where navigation back to a chat page could trigger a new response generation
+- Fix: chat references now validate and render more reliably
+- Fix: improved admin access checks for restricted routes
+- Performance: faster chat sidebar loads from cached conversation archive data
+- API: harmonized ingest endpoint naming and added configurable ingest safety limits
+- Security: hardened query handling and ingestion logging to reduce injection and data exposure risk
+
+## 1.0.1 (2026-02-11)
+- Shipped an S3 storage backend so content can be stored in object storage instead of local disk, with configuration support for S3 deployments.
+- Introduced user theme preferences with the new Obsidian Prism look and improved dark mode styling.
+- Fixed edge cases, including content deletion behavior and compatibility for older user records.
+
+## 1.0.0 (2026-01-02)
+- **Locally generated embeddings are now default**. If you want to continue using API embeddings, set EMBEDDING_BACKEND to openai. This will download a ONNX model and recreate all embeddings. But in most instances it's very worth it. Removing the network bound call to create embeddings. Creating embeddings on my N100 device is extremely fast. Typically a search response is provided in less than 50ms. 
+- Added a benchmarks create for evaluating the retrieval process
+- Added fastembed embedding support, enables the use of local CPU generated embeddings, greatly improved latency if machine can handle it. Quick search has vastly better accuracy and is much faster, 50ms latency when testing compared to minimum 300ms.
+- Embeddings stored on own table.
+- Refactored retrieval pipeline to use the new, faster and more accurate strategy. Read [blog post](https://blog.stark.pub/posts/eval-retrieval-refactor/) for more details.
+
+## Version 0.2.7 (2025-12-04)
+- Improved admin page, now only loads models when specifically requested. Groundwork for coming configuration features.
+- Fix: timezone aware info in scratchpad
+
+## Version 0.2.6 (2025-10-29)
+- Added an opt-in FastEmbed-based reranking stage behind `reranking_enabled`. It improves retrieval accuracy by re-scoring hybrid results.
+- Fix: default name for relationships harmonized across application
+
+## Version 0.2.5 (2025-10-24)
+- Added manual knowledge entity creation flows using a modal, with the option for suggested relationships
+- Scratchpad feature, with the feature to convert scratchpads to content.
+- Added knowledge entity search results to the global search
+- Backend fixes for improved performance when ingesting and retrieval
+
+## Version 0.2.4 (2025-10-15)
+- Improved retrieval performance. Ingestion and chat now utilizes full text search, vector comparison and graph traversal.
+- Ingestion task archive
+
+## Version 0.2.3 (2025-10-12)
+- Fix changing vector dimensions on a fresh database (#3)
+
+## Version 0.2.2 (2025-10-07)
+- Support for ingestion of PDF files
+- Improved ingestion speed
+- Fix deletion of items work as expected
+- Fix enabling GPT-5 use via OpenAI API
+
+## Version 0.2.1 (2025-09-24)
+- Fixed API JSON responses so iOS Shortcuts integrations keep working.
+
+## Version 0.2.0 (2025-09-23)
+- Revamped the UI with a neobrutalist theme, better dark mode, and a D3-based knowledge graph.
+- Added pagination for entities and content plus new observability metrics on the dashboard.
+- Enabled audio ingestion and merged the new storage backend.
+- Improved performance, request filtering, and journalctl/systemd compatibility.
+
+## Version 0.1.4 (2025-07-01)
+- Added image ingestion with configurable system settings and updated Docker Compose docs.
+- Hardened admin flows by fixing concurrent API/database calls and normalizing task statuses.
+
+## Version 0.1.3 (2025-06-08)
+- Added support for AI providers beyond OpenAI.
+- Made the HTTP port configurable for deployments.
+- Smoothed graph mapper failures, long content tiles, and refreshed project documentation.
+
+## Version 0.1.2 (2025-05-26)
+- Introduced full-text search across indexed knowledge.
+- Polished the UI with consistent titles, icon fallbacks, and improved markdown scrolling.
+- Fixed search result links and SurrealDB vector formatting glitches.
+
+## Version 0.1.1 (2025-05-13)
+- Added streaming feedback to ingestion tasks for clearer progress updates.
+- Made the data storage path configurable.
+- Improved release tooling with Chromium-enabled Nix flakes, Docker builds, and migration/template fixes.
+
+## Version 0.1.0 (2025-05-06)
+- Initial release with a SurrealDB-backed ingestion pipeline, job queue, vector search, and knowledge graph storage.
+- Delivered a chat experience featuring streaming responses, conversation history, markdown rendering, and customizable system prompts.
+- Introduced an admin console with analytics, registration and timezone controls, and job monitoring.

 ## The "Why" Behind Minne
 
-For a while I've been fascinated by Zettelkasten-style PKM systems. While tools like Logseq and Obsidian are excellent, I found the manual linking process to be a hindrance for me. I also wanted a centralized storage and easy access across devices.
+For a while I've been fascinated by personal knowledge management systems. I wanted something that made it incredibly easy to capture content - snippets of text, URLs, and other media - while automatically discovering connections between ideas. But I also wanted to maintain control over my knowledge structure.
 
-While developing Minne, I discovered [KaraKeep](https://karakeep.com/) (formerly Hoarder), which is an excellent application in a similar space – you probably want to check it out! However, if you're interested in a PKM that builds an automatic network between related concepts using AI, offers search and the **possibility to chat with your knowledge resource**, and provides a blend of manual and AI-driven organization, then Minne might be worth testing.
+Traditional tools like Logseq and Obsidian are excellent, but the manual linking process often became a hindrance. Meanwhile, fully automated systems sometimes miss important context or create relationships I wouldn't have chosen myself.
 
-## Core Philosophy & Features
+So I built Minne to offer the best of both worlds: effortless content capture with AI-assisted relationship discovery, but with the flexibility to manually curate, edit, or override any connections. You can let AI handle the heavy lifting of extracting entities and finding relationships, take full control yourself, or use a hybrid approach where AI suggests connections that you can approve or modify.
 
-Minne is designed to make it incredibly easy to save snippets of text, URLs, and other content (limited, pending demand). Simply send content along with a category tag. Minne then ingests this, leveraging AI to create relevant nodes and relationships within its graph database, alongside your manual categorization. This graph backend allows for discoverable connections between your pieces of knowledge.
+While developing Minne, I discovered [KaraKeep](https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep) (formerly Hoarder), which is an excellent application in a similar space – you probably want to check it out! However, if you're interested in a PKM that offers both intelligent automation and manual curation, with the ability to chat with your knowledge base, then Minne might be worth testing.
 
-You can converse with your knowledge base through an LLM-powered chat interface (via OpenAI compatible API, like Ollama or others). For those who like to see the bigger picture, Minne also includes an **experimental feature to visually explore your knowledge graph.**
+## Table of Contents
 
-You may switch and choose between models used, and have the possiblity to change the prompts to your liking. There is since release **0.1.3** the option to change embeddings length, making it easy to test another embedding model.

-The application is built for speed and efficiency using Rust with a Server-Side Rendered (SSR) frontend (HTMX and minimal JavaScript). It's fully responsive, offering a complete mobile interface for reading, editing, and managing your content, including the graph database itself. **PWA (Progressive Web App) support** means you can "install" Minne to your device for a native-like experience. For quick capture on the go on iOS, a [**Shortcut**](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/9aa960600ec14329837ba4169f57a166) makes sending content to your Minne instance a breeze.
+## Quick Start
 
-Minne is open source (AGPL), self-hostable, and can be deployed flexibly: via Nix, Docker Compose, pre-built binaries, or by building from source. It can run as a single `main` binary or as separate `server` and `worker` processes for optimized resource allocation.
+The fastest way to get Minne running is with Docker Compose:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/perstarkse/minne.git
+cd minne
+
+# Start Minne and its database
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Access at http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+**Required Setup:**
+- Replace `your_openai_api_key_here` in `docker-compose.yml` with your actual API key
+- Configure `OPENAI_BASE_URL` if using a custom AI provider (like Ollama)
+
+For detailed installation options, see [Configuration](#configuration).
+
+## Features in Detail
+
+### Search vs. Chat mode
+
+**Search** - Use when you know roughly what you're looking for. Full-text search finds items quickly by matching your query terms.
+
+**Chat Mode** - Use when you want to explore concepts, find connections, or reason about your knowledge. The AI analyzes your query and finds relevant context across your entire knowledge base.
+
+### Content Processing
+
+Minne automatically processes content you save:
+1. **Web scraping** extracts readable text from URLs
+2. **Text analysis** identifies key concepts and relationships
+3. **Graph creation** builds connections between related content
+4. **Embedding generation** enables semantic search capabilities
+
+### Visual Knowledge Graph
+
+Explore your knowledge as an interactive network with flexible curation options:
+
+**Manual Curation** - Create knowledge entities and relationships yourself with full control over your graph structure
+
+**AI Automation** - Let AI automatically extract entities and discover relationships from your content
+
+**Hybrid Approach** - Get AI-suggested relationships and entities that you can manually review, edit, or approve
+
+The graph visualization shows:
+- Knowledge entities as nodes (manually created or AI-extracted)
+- Relationships as connections (manually defined, AI-discovered, or suggested)
+- Interactive navigation for discovery and editing
+
+### Optional FastEmbed Reranking
+
+Minne ships with an opt-in reranking stage powered by [fastembed-rs](https://github.com/Anush008/fastembed-rs). When enabled, the hybrid retrieval results are rescored with a lightweight cross-encoder before being returned to chat or ingestion flows. In practice this often means more relevant results, boosting answer quality and downstream enrichment.
+
+⚠️ **Resource notes**
+- Enabling reranking downloads and caches ~1.1 GB of model data on first startup (cached under `<data_dir>/fastembed/reranker` by default).
+- Initialization takes longer while warming the cache, and each query consumes extra CPU. The default pool size (2) is tuned for a singe user setup, but could work with a pool size on 1 as well.
+- The feature is disabled by default. Set `reranking_enabled: true` (or `RERANKING_ENABLED=true`) if you’re comfortable with the additional footprint.
+
+Example configuration:
+
+```yaml
+reranking_enabled: true
+reranking_pool_size: 2
+fastembed_cache_dir: "/var/lib/minne/fastembed"  # optional override, defaults to .fastembed_cache
+```
 
 ## Tech Stack
 
-- **Backend:** Rust. Server-Side Rendering (SSR). Axum. Minijinja for templating.
-- **Frontend:** HTML. HTMX and plain JavaScript for interactivity.
-- **Database:** SurrealDB
-- **AI Integration:** OpenAI API compatible endpoint (for chat and content processing), with support for structured outputs.
-- **Web Content Processing:** Relies on a Chromium instance for robust webpage fetching/rendering.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- **For Docker/Nix:** Docker or Nix installed. These methods handle SurrealDB and Chromium dependencies.
-- **For Binaries/Source:**
-  - A running SurrealDB instance.
-  - Chromium (or a compatible Chrome browser) installed and accessible in your `PATH`.
-  - Git (if cloning and building from source).
-  - Rust toolchain (if building from source).
-
-## Getting Started
-
-You have several options to get Minne up and running:
-
-### 1. Nix (Recommended for ease of dependency management)
-
-If you have Nix installed, you can run Minne directly:
-
-```bash
-nix run 'github:perstarkse/minne#main'
-```
-
-This command will fetch Minne and its dependencies (including Chromium) and run the `main` (combined server/worker) application.
-
-### 2. Docker Compose (Recommended for containerized environments)
-
-This is a great way to manage Minne and its SurrealDB dependency together.
-
-1. Clone the repository (or just save the `docker-compose.yml` below).
-
-1. Create a `docker-compose.yml` file:
-
-   ```yaml

-## Application Architecture (Binaries)
+## Installation Options
 
-Minne offers flexibility in deployment:
+### 1. Docker Compose (Recommended)
 
-- **`main`**: A combined binary running both server (API, web UI) and worker (background tasks) in one process. Ideal for simpler setups.
-- **`server`**: Runs only the server component.
-- **`worker`**: Runs only the worker component, suitable for deployment on a machine with more resources for intensive tasks.
+```bash
+# Clone and run
+git clone https://github.com/perstarkse/minne.git
+cd minne
+docker compose up -d
+```
 
-This modularity allows scaling and resource optimization. The `main` binary or the Docker Compose setup (using `main`) is sufficient for most users.
+The included `docker-compose.yml` handles SurrealDB and Chromium dependencies automatically.
+
+### 2. Nix
+
+```bash
+nix run 'github:perstarkse/minne#main'
+```
+
+This fetches Minne and all dependencies, including Chromium.
+
+### 3. Pre-built Binaries
+
+Download binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/perstarkse/minne/releases/latest).
+
+**Requirements:** You'll need to provide SurrealDB and Chromium separately.
+
+### 4. Build from Source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/perstarkse/minne.git
+cd minne
+cargo run --release --bin main
+```
+
+**Requirements:** SurrealDB and Chromium must be installed and accessible in your PATH.
+

 ## Usage
 
-Once Minne is running:
+Once Minne is running at `http://localhost:3000`:
 
-1. Access the web interface at `http://localhost:3000` (or your configured port).
-1. On iOS, consider setting up the [Minne iOS Shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/9aa960600ec14329837ba4169f57a166) for effortless content sending. **Add the shortcut, replace the [insert_url] and the [insert_api_key] snippets**.
-1. Add notes, URLs, **audio files**, and explore your growing knowledge graph.
-1. Engage with the chat interface to query your saved content.
-1. Try the experimental visual graph explorer to see connections.
+1. **Web Interface**: Full-featured experience for desktop and mobile
+2. **iOS Shortcut**: Use the [Minne iOS Shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e433fbd7602f4e2eaa70dca162323477) for quick content capture
+3. **Content Types**: Save notes, URLs, audio files, and more
+4. **Knowledge Graph**: Explore automatic connections between your content
+5. **Chat Interface**: Query your knowledge base conversationally
 
 ## AI Configuration & Model Selection
 
-Minne relies on an OpenAI-compatible API for processing content, generating graph relationships, and powering the chat feature.
+### Setting Up AI Providers
 
-**Environment Variables / `config.yaml` keys:**
+Minne uses OpenAI-compatible APIs. Configure via environment variables or `config.yaml`:
 
-- `OPENAI_API_KEY` (required): Your API key for the chosen AI provider.
-- `OPENAI_BASE_URL` (optional): Use this to override the default OpenAI API URL (`https://api.openai.com/v1`). This is essential for using local models via services like Ollama, or other API providers.
-  - **Example for Ollama:** `http://<your-ollama-ip>:11434/v1`
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` (required): Your API key
+- `OPENAI_BASE_URL` (optional): Custom provider URL (e.g., Ollama: `http://localhost:11434/v1`)
 
-### Changing Models
+### Model Selection
 
-Once you have configured the `OPENAI_BASE_URL` to point to your desired provider, you can select the specific models Minne should use.
-
-1. Navigate to the `/admin` page in your Minne instance.
-1. The page will list the models available from your configured endpoint. You can select different models for processing content and for chat.
-1. **Important:** For content processing, Minne relies on structured outputs (function calling). The model and provider you select for this task **must** support this feature.
-1. **Embedding Dimensions:** If you change the embedding model, you **must** update the "Embedding Dimensions" setting in the admin panel to match the output dimensions of your new model (e.g., `text-embedding-3-small` uses 1536, `nomic-embed-text` uses 768). Mismatched dimensions will cause errors. Some newer models will accept a dimension argument, and for these setting the dimensions to whatever should work.
+1. Access the `/admin` page in your Minne instance
+2. Select models for content processing and chat from your configured provider
+3. **Content Processing Requirements**: The model must support structured outputs
+4. **Embedding Dimensions**: Update this setting when changing embedding models (e.g., 1536 for `text-embedding-3-small`, 768 for `nomic-embed-text`)
 
 ## Roadmap
 
-I've developed Minne primarily for my own use, but having been in the selfhosted space for a long time, and using the efforts by others, I thought I'd share with the community. Feature requests are welcome.
-The roadmap as of now is:
+Current development focus:
 
-- Handle uploaded images wisely.
-- An updated explorer of the graph database.
-- A TUI frontend which opens your system default editor for improved writing and document management.
+- TUI frontend with system editor integration
+- Enhanced reranking for improved retrieval recall
+- Additional content type support

+| `main` | All-in-one: serves UI and processes content |
+| `server` | UI and API only (no background processing) |
+| `worker` | Background processing only (no UI) |
+
+Split deployment is useful for scaling or resource isolation.

+
+## Database Schema
+
+SurrealDB stores:
+
+- **TextContent** — Raw ingested content
+- **TextChunk** — Chunked content with embeddings
+- **KnowledgeEntity** — Extracted entities (people, concepts, etc.)
+- **KnowledgeRelationship** — Connections between entities
+- **User** — Authentication and preferences
+- **SystemSettings** — Model configuration
+
+Embeddings are stored in dedicated tables with HNSW indexes for fast vector search.
+
+## Retrieval Strategy
+
+1. **Collect candidates** — Vector similarity + full-text search

+
+## AI Provider Setup
+
+Minne works with any OpenAI-compatible API that supports structured outputs.
+
+### OpenAI (Default)
+
+Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` only. The default base URL points to OpenAI.
+
+### Ollama
+
+```bash
+OPENAI_API_KEY="ollama"
+OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:11434/v1"
+```
+
+### Other Providers
+
+Any provider exposing an OpenAI-compatible endpoint works. Set `OPENAI_BASE_URL` accordingly.
+
+## Model Selection
+
+1. Access `/admin` in your Minne instance
+2. Select models for content processing and chat
+3. **Content Processing**: Must support structured outputs
+4. **Embedding Dimensions**: Update when changing embedding models (e.g., 1536 for `text-embedding-3-small`)

+# Features
+
+## Search vs Chat
+
+**Search** — Use when you know what you're looking for. Full-text search matches query terms across your content.
+
+**Chat** — Use when exploring concepts or reasoning about your knowledge. The AI analyzes your query and retrieves relevant context from your entire knowledge base.
+
+## Content Processing
+
+Minne automatically processes saved content:
+
+1. **Web scraping** extracts readable text from URLs (via headless Chrome)
+2. **Text analysis** identifies key concepts and relationships
+3. **Graph creation** builds connections between related content
+4. **Embedding generation** enables semantic search
+
+## Knowledge Graph
+
+Explore your knowledge as an interactive network:
+
+- **Manual curation** — Create entities and relationships yourself
+- **AI automation** — Let AI extract entities and discover relationships
+- **Hybrid approach** — AI suggests connections for your approval
+
+The D3-based graph visualization shows entities as nodes and relationships as edges.
+
+## Hybrid Retrieval
+
+Minne combines multiple retrieval strategies:
+
+- **Vector similarity** — Semantic matching via embeddings
+- **Full-text search** — Keyword matching with BM25
+- **Graph traversal** — Following relationships between entities
+
+Results are merged using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) for optimal relevance.
+
+## Reranking (Optional)
+
+When enabled, retrieval results are rescored with a cross-encoder model for improved relevance. Powered by [fastembed-rs](https://github.com/Anush008/fastembed-rs).
+
+**Trade-offs:**
+- Downloads ~1.1 GB of model data
+- Adds latency per query
+- Potentially improves answer quality, see [blog post](https://blog.stark.pub/posts/eval-retrieval-refactor/)
+
+Enable via `RERANKING_ENABLED=true`. See [Configuration](./configuration.md).
+
+## Multi-Format Ingestion
+
+Supported content types:
+- Plain text and notes
+- URLs (web pages)
+- PDF documents
+- Audio files
+- Images
+
+## Scratchpad
+
+Quickly capture content without committing to permanent storage. Convert to full content when ready.
+
+## iOS Shortcut
+
+Use the [Minne iOS Shortcut](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e433fbd7602f4e2eaa70dca162323477) for quick content capture from your phone.

+# Installation
+
+Minne can be installed through several methods. Choose the one that best fits your setup.
+
+## Docker Compose (Recommended)
+
+The fastest way to get Minne running with all dependencies:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/perstarkse/minne.git
+cd minne
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The included `docker-compose.yml` handles SurrealDB and Chromium automatically.
+
+**Required:** Set your `OPENAI_API_KEY` in `docker-compose.yml` before starting.
+
+## Nix
+
+Run Minne directly with Nix (includes Chromium):
+
+```bash
+nix run 'github:perstarkse/minne#main'
+```
+
+Configure via environment variables or a `config.yaml` file. See [Configuration](./configuration.md).
+
+## Pre-built Binaries
+
+Download binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/perstarkse/minne/releases/latest).
+
+**Requirements:**
+- SurrealDB instance (local or remote)
+- Chromium (for web scraping)
+
+## Build from Source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/perstarkse/minne.git
+cd minne
+cargo build --release --bin main
+```
+
+The binary will be at `target/release/main`.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- Rust toolchain
+- SurrealDB accessible at configured address
+- Chromium in PATH
+
+## Process Modes
+
+Minne offers flexible deployment:
+
+| Binary | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `main` | Combined server + worker (recommended) |
+| `server` | Web interface and API only |
+| `worker` | Background processing only |
+
+For most users, `main` is the right choice. Split deployments are useful for resource optimization or scaling.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- [Configuration](./configuration.md) — Environment variables and config.yaml
+- [Features](./features.md) — What Minne can do

+# Vision
+
+## The "Why" Behind Minne
+
+Personal knowledge management has always fascinated me. I wanted something that made it incredibly easy to capture content—snippets of text, URLs, media—while automatically discovering connections between ideas. But I also wanted control over my knowledge structure.
+
+Traditional tools like Logseq and Obsidian are excellent, but manual linking often becomes a hindrance. Fully automated systems sometimes miss important context or create relationships I wouldn't have chosen.
+
+Minne offers the best of both worlds: effortless capture with AI-assisted relationship discovery, but with flexibility to manually curate, edit, or override connections. Let AI handle the heavy lifting, take full control yourself, or use a hybrid approach where AI suggests and you approve.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+- **Capture should be instant** — No friction between thought and storage
+- **Connections should emerge** — AI finds relationships you might miss
+- **Control should be optional** — Automate by default, curate when it matters
+- **Privacy should be default** — Self-hosted, your data stays yours
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Near-term
+
+- [ ] TUI frontend with system editor integration
+- [ ] Enhanced retrieval recall via improved reranking
+- [ ] Additional content type support (e-books, research papers)
+
+### Medium-term
+
+- [ ] Embedded SurrealDB option (zero-config `nix run` with just `OPENAI_API_KEY`)
+- [ ] Browser extension for seamless capture
+- [ ] Mobile-native apps
+
+### Long-term
+
+- [ ] Federated knowledge sharing (opt-in)
+- [ ] Local LLM integration (fully offline operation)
+- [ ] Plugin system for custom entity extractors
+
+## Related Projects
+
+If Minne isn't quite right for you, check out:

+# Evaluations
+
+The `evaluations` crate provides a retrieval evaluation framework for benchmarking Minne's information retrieval pipeline against standard datasets.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run SQuAD v2.0 evaluation (vector-only, recommended)
+cargo run --package evaluations -- --ingest-chunks-only
+
+# Run a specific dataset
+cargo run --package evaluations -- --dataset fiqa --ingest-chunks-only
+
+# Convert dataset only (no evaluation)
+cargo run --package evaluations -- --convert-only
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### 1. SurrealDB
+
+Start a SurrealDB instance before running evaluations:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d surrealdb
+```
+
+Or using the default endpoint configuration:
+
+```bash
+surreal start --user root_user --pass root_password
+```
+
+### 2. Download Raw Datasets
+
+Raw datasets must be downloaded manually and placed in `evaluations/data/raw/`. See [Dataset Sources](#dataset-sources) below for links and formats.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```

+
+## Dataset Sources
+
+### SQuAD v2.0
+
+Download and place at `data/raw/squad/dev-v2.0.json`:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p evaluations/data/raw/squad
+curl -L https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/dataset/dev-v2.0.json \
+  -o evaluations/data/raw/squad/dev-v2.0.json
+```
+
+### Natural Questions (NQ)
+
+Download and place at `data/raw/nq-dev/dev-all.jsonl`:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p evaluations/data/raw/nq-dev
+# Download from Google's Natural Questions page or HuggingFace
+# File: dev-all.jsonl (simplified JSONL format)
+```
+
+Source: [Google Natural Questions](https://ai.google.com/research/NaturalQuestions)
+
+### BEIR Datasets
+
+All BEIR datasets follow the same format structure:
+
+```
+data/raw/<dataset>/
+├── corpus.jsonl      # Document corpus
+├── queries.jsonl     # Query set
+└── qrels/
+    └── test.tsv      # Relevance judgments (or dev.tsv)
+```
+
+Download datasets from the [BEIR Benchmark repository](https://github.com/beir-cellar/beir). Each dataset zip extracts to the required directory structure.
+
+| Dataset    | Directory     |
+|------------|---------------|
+| FEVER      | `fever/`      |
+| FiQA-2018  | `fiqa/`       |
+| HotpotQA   | `hotpotqa/`   |
+| NFCorpus   | `nfcorpus/`   |
+| Quora      | `quora/`      |
+| TREC-COVID | `trec-covid/` |
+| SciFact    | `scifact/`    |
+| NQ (BEIR)  | `nq/`         |
+
+Example download:
+
+```bash
+cd evaluations/data/raw
+curl -L https://public.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/thakur/BEIR/datasets/fiqa.zip -o fiqa.zip
+unzip fiqa.zip && rm fiqa.zip
+```
+
+## Dataset Conversion
+
+Raw datasets are automatically converted to Minne's internal JSON format on first run. To force reconversion:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --package evaluations -- --force-convert
+```
+
+Converted files are saved to `data/converted/` and cached for subsequent runs.
+
+## CLI Reference
+
+### Common Options
+
+| Flag | Description | Default |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `--dataset <NAME>` | Dataset to evaluate | `squad-v2` |
+| `--limit <N>` | Max questions to evaluate (0 = all) | `200` |
+| `--k <N>` | Precision@k cutoff | `5` |
+| `--slice <ID>` | Use a predefined slice from manifest | — |
+| `--rerank` | Enable FastEmbed reranking stage | disabled |
+| `--embedding-backend <BE>` | `fastembed` or `hashed` | `fastembed` |
+| `--ingest-chunks-only` | Skip entity extraction, ingest only text chunks | disabled |
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Use `--ingest-chunks-only` when evaluating vector-only retrieval strategies. This skips the LLM-based entity extraction and graph generation, significantly speeding up ingestion while focusing on pure chunk-based vector search.
+
+### Available Datasets
+
+```
+squad-v2, natural-questions, beir, fever, fiqa, hotpotqa, 
+nfcorpus, quora, trec-covid, scifact, nq-beir
+```
+
+### Database Configuration
+
+| Flag | Environment | Default |
+|------|-------------|---------|
+| `--db-endpoint` | `EVAL_DB_ENDPOINT` | `ws://127.0.0.1:8000` |
+| `--db-username` | `EVAL_DB_USERNAME` | `root_user` |
+| `--db-password` | `EVAL_DB_PASSWORD` | `root_password` |
+| `--db-namespace` | `EVAL_DB_NAMESPACE` | auto-generated |
+| `--db-database` | `EVAL_DB_DATABASE` | auto-generated |
+

+
+# Run the mixed BEIR benchmark
+cargo run --package evaluations -- --dataset beir --slice beir-mix-600 --ingest-chunks-only
+```
+
+## Slices
+
+Slices are predefined, reproducible subsets defined in `manifest.yaml`. Each slice specifies:
+
