## ADDED Requirements ### Requirement: Retrieval evaluation SHALL provide live post-reindex acceptance The retrieval evaluation system SHALL provide an opt-in live acceptance flow for validating retrieval behavior after embedding input changes require a knowledge-base reindex. #### Scenario: Live acceptance requires a running service - **WHEN** live retrieval acceptance is run - **THEN** it SHALL call the configured Spring Boot retrieval endpoint - **AND** it SHALL not be required by the offline fixture baseline #### Scenario: Live acceptance records retrieval evidence - **WHEN** a live retrieval case is executed - **THEN** the report SHALL include the query, requested topK, result count, top candidate titles or sources, score labels, and raw response fields needed for review #### Scenario: Reindex prerequisite is documented - **WHEN** a developer prepares to validate breadcrumb-aware embedding behavior - **THEN** the repository SHALL explain that existing vectors must be reindexed before live validation can reflect the new embedding text #### Scenario: Live report is reviewable - **WHEN** the live acceptance script completes - **THEN** it SHALL write JSON and Markdown outputs that can be inspected or attached to interview evidence
