zhuyongxin 584639fa2a docs(mvp): move engineering notes under mvp/engineering
Relocate RAG and diagnosis decision/E2E writeups from docs/ root into
mvp/engineering so architecture, issues, and engineering narrative stay
together. Update indexes and cross-links; leave docs/learning as legacy.

# Change: RAG chunk evidence identity and dedup
## Why
`lookup_knowledge` currently collapses same-document chunks at two layers:
1. `KnowledgeEvidencePostProcessor` dedupes by `source/title/breadcrumb`
2. `RagResultProjector` dedupes by `document_id`, which usually falls back to `source`
As a result, L1 can recall multiple useful chunks from one document, but Agent often sees only one. This blocks multi-path / hybrid retrieval benefits and hurts long runbook completeness.
This change is **Delivery 1** from `mvp/engineering/rag/Milvus-Hybrid接入清单.md`. Hybrid schema/search is **out of scope** and will be a separate change after this is archived.
## What Changes
- Add chunk-level evidence identity: `docId`, `chunkIndex`, `evidenceKey`
- Extract identity in retrieval adapter from vector metadata
- Deduplicate by `evidenceKey` (chunk identity), not document source
- Cap chunks per document (`maxChunksPerDocument`, default 2)
- Split `retrieve-k` and `return-n` (stop overloading single `top-k`)
- Align Agent projection so same-source different chunks can both appear
- Introduce a thin `KnowledgeSearchPort` so later hybrid can swap implementation without rewriting the pipeline
- Keep L0 as hint-only; no BM25/sparse schema; no legacy SDK deletion in this change
## Non-goals
- Milvus sparse/BM25 schema or reindex
- Enabling hybrid search mode
- Removing Milvus SDK path
- Session-level RetrievedDocTracker restore
- Neighbor chunk context reconstruction
- Model reranker
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `rag-chunk-evidence-identity`: chunk-level identity, dedup, retrieve/return split, search port boundary
### Modified Capabilities
- `rag-knowledge-retrieval`: replace document-level evidence dedup requirement with chunk-level identity
- `rag-log-projections` (RAG portion only): projection identity may be chunk-scoped `document_id`
## Impact
- Code: retrieval DTO/services, post-processor, lookup tool config, projector, tests
- Agent-visible: more evidence items possible for same logical document when multiple chunks are relevant
- Interface level: **L2/L3** — Agent `document_id` semantics become chunk-scoped evidence id (often `docId#chunk-N`); EvidenceGuard still validates against tool projection ids
- Docs baseline: `mvp/engineering/rag/Milvus-Hybrid接入清单.md` §1.1 Delivery 1
## Risks
- Agent context grows if many chunks pass; mitigated by `return-n` and `maxChunksPerDocument`
- Existing tests assume source-level dedup; must update intentionally
- Old indexes without `chunkIndex` need stable fallback keys (`vector:{id}`)
