# Retrieval Candidate Pools
|
|
|
|
A `RetrievalCandidatePool` freezes the output of first-stage retrieval before reranking. Its
|
|
identity binds the project, immutable suite case, source embedding space/index, corpus revision,
|
|
retrieval configuration digest and ordered candidate IDs/scores/content hashes. Text is excluded.
|
|
|
|
M8 uses a top-40 ceiling. Thirty-two cases contain 40 unique in-scope candidates; one scoped case
|
|
contains 39. ModelForge records the actual count and never pads the pool with out-of-scope data.
|
|
Control and reranked results must reference the same pool IDs. Corpus/config/pool mismatch is a
|
|
typed comparability failure.
|
|
|
|
The pool is immutable after creation. Reranking therefore cannot benefit from a second dense or
|
|
sparse retrieval run, and it cannot recover a relevant item absent from the frozen pool.
