+# Adaptive Artikelpipeline
+
+Der `clustered`-Betrieb verwendet ab dieser Version standardmäßig eine bedarfsgesteuerte Artikelpipeline. Ziel ist, Web-, Modell- und Grapharbeit erst dann auszuführen, wenn sie für den konkreten Artikel einen messbaren Nutzen hat.

+
+## Warum Gemma nicht in einem separaten Vorab-Call gefragt wird
+
+Ein eigener LLM-Aufruf nur für die Frage „brauche ich Webrecherche?“ würde bei jedem Artikel zusätzliche GPU-Zeit verbrauchen. Stattdessen erledigt der erste normale Gemma-Draft beides gleichzeitig. Das Antwortschema besitzt unsichtbare interne Routing-Felder:
+
+- `research_needed`
+- `research_queries`
+- `freshness_sensitive`
+- `research_reason`
+
+Diese Felder erscheinen niemals im sichtbaren KB-Artikel. Wenn die internen Quellen ausreichen, bleibt die Pipeline ohne Webzugriff. Wenn Gemma eine konkrete Lücke erkennt, werden höchstens wenige präzise Queries ausgeführt und der Draft einmal mit dem neuen Material neu erzeugt.
+
+## Aktualitätsdetektor
+
+Der Aktualitätsdetektor ist deterministisch und benötigt keinen Modellaufruf. Er reagiert bewusst nur auf klare zeitabhängige Signale, z. B.:
+
+- aktuell/neueste/heute/derzeit;
+- aktuelle oder unterstützte Versionen, Support-Matrix, EOL;
+- CVE, Security Advisory, aktueller Patch-/Firmwarestand;
+- aktuelle Preise/Lizenzstände;
+- Outages, Statusseiten, laufende Vorfälle.
+
+Ein statisches Thema wie „Least Privilege unter Windows konfigurieren“ löst allein wegen des Wortes Windows oder einer Versionsnennung in einer Quelle keine automatische Webrunde aus.
+
+## Recherchemodi
+
+```env
+BRAIN_ARTICLE_RESEARCH_STRATEGY=auto
+```
+
+- `auto`: `precise` verwendet `always`, `clustered` verwendet `adaptive`.
+- `always`: breites Webmaterial vor dem ersten Draft wie im bisherigen Generate-then-Review-Pfad.
+- `adaptive`: intern/Gemma-first; Web nur bei Aktualität, Autor-Evidenzbedarf oder Reviewer-Gap.
+- `review_only`: kein initiales Web; ausschließlich der Reviewer darf Nachrecherche auslösen.
+
+Budget für die erste adaptive Runde:
+
+```env
+BRAIN_ARTICLE_ADAPTIVE_INITIAL_QUERIES=2
+BRAIN_ARTICLE_ADAPTIVE_INITIAL_FETCH=3
+```
+
+Im `adaptive`-Modus ist auch Reviewer-Repair auf höchstens drei Queries begrenzt und verwendet dasselbe kleine Fetch-Budget pro Query.
+
+## Delayed Graph Materialization
+
+Frisch geladene Webvolltexte werden zunächst ausschließlich unter `research-evidence/` persistiert. Sie erzeugen noch keine `external`-Nodes, Embeddings oder `research_evidence`-Fan-out-Edges.
+
+Erst wenn der finale Reviewer einen `supported`- oder `partially_supported`-Claim auf eine konkrete Webquelle zurückführt und der Artikel akzeptiert wird:
+
+1. wird die Quelle als `external`-Node materialisiert;
+2. wird sie eingebettet;
+3. erhält der Artikel eine `grounded_by`-Edge;
+4. wird `validation_state=grounded` gesetzt.
+
+Damit ist „recherchiert“ nicht mehr gleich „dauerhaftes Graphwissen“.
+
+## Reviewer-Provenienz
+
+Im Cluster-Modus sieht der Reviewer nur einen priorisierten Teil des Research-Pools. Die Referenzen `R1`, `R2`, … werden jetzt gegen genau diesen an den Reviewer übergebenen Teilpool aufgelöst. Zuvor konnten `R<n>` gegen den vollständigen Research-Pool interpretiert werden; dadurch war Grounding trotz verwendeter Quellen unterzählbar oder falsch zugeordnet.
+
+## Artikel-Batching
+
+```env
+BRAIN_CLUSTER_ARTICLE_BATCHING=true
+```
+
+Im Cluster-Modus werden die akzeptierten Relationen eines THINK-Zyklus zunächst thematisch gruppiert. Relationen mit gemeinsamem Seed oder ausreichend ähnlichem Thema/Kategorieverbund werden in einem gemeinsamen Artikelauftrag verarbeitet. Unabhängige Themen bleiben getrennt.
+
+Dadurch kann aus drei Relationen z. B. ein einzelner Research-/Gemma-/Qwen-Workflow statt drei vollständiger Artikelpipelines entstehen.
+
+## Persistente Wiederholsperren
+
+Zwei Fingerprints werden gespeichert:
+
+- Work-Fingerprint: Quelleninhalte + Relationskontext. Er wird vor dem Artikelplan geprüft und kann einen bereits erfolgreich abgearbeiteten unveränderten Auftrag ohne Modellcall überspringen.
+- Source-Fingerprint: tatsächlich vom Artikelplan ausgewählte Quellen + Action/Target/Artikeltyp. Er verhindert eine erneute Synthese desselben finalen Pflegeauftrags.
+
+Die Fingerprints basieren auf Inhalts-Hashes und enthalten außerdem Sprache, Autor-/Reviewer-Modell, effektive Research-Strategie und Repair-Konfiguration. Ändert sich der Inhalt einer Quellseite oder wird die Pipeline bewusst anders konfiguriert, darf der Artikel erneut verarbeitet werden.
+
+## Relationsrecherche
+
+SearXNG-Recherche zur Entscheidung über eine unsichere Relation bleibt möglich, weil sie ein anderes Problem löst als die Artikelrecherche. Die gefundenen Treffer werden aber erst dann als Research-Nodes materialisiert, wenn Qwen die Relation nach der Recherche tatsächlich akzeptiert. Bei verworfenen Relationen bleibt kein Research-Beifang im Graphen zurück.

+# Validierung – Adaptive Article Workflow
+
+Geprüft werden insbesondere:
+
+- statische Themen lösen keine automatische Aktualitätsrecherche aus;
+- aktuelle/unterstützte Versionen lösen fokussierte Webrecherche aus;
+- `auto` wird in `clustered` zu `adaptive` und in `precise` zu `always`;
+- Gemma-Routingqueries werden entfernt, wenn `research_needed=false` ist;
+- Inhaltsänderungen ändern den Source-Fingerprint;
+- `R1` wird gegen den exakten Reviewer-Teilpool und nicht den ursprünglichen Gesamtpool aufgelöst;
+- Relationen mit gemeinsamem Seed werden zu einem Artikelcluster gebündelt;
+- Web-Evidence bleibt klar als unvertrauenswürdiger Datenblock markiert;
+- gesamte Go-Codebasis typkompiliert;
+- `go vet ./...` und JavaScript-Syntaxprüfung.
+
+Die Build-Umgebung stellt weiterhin Go 1.23.2 bereit, während das Projekt Go 1.26 deklariert und `modernc.org/sqlite v1.37.1` nicht aus dem Netz geladen werden kann. Typkompilierung/Vet erfolgen daher ausschließlich in einer temporären Kopie mit `go 1.23` und compile-only SQLite-Stub. Release-`go.mod` und Produktivcode bleiben unverändert.
+
+## Ausgeführte Prüfungen
+
+In einer temporären Validierungskopie wurden erfolgreich ausgeführt:
+
+```text
+go test ./internal/config -count=1
+go test ./internal/engine -run 'Test(DetectArticleFreshnessNeed|EffectiveArticleResearchStrategy|NormalizeArticleContent|ArticleSourceFingerprint|ArticleWorkFingerprint|ReviewReferenceUsesExactReviewerSubset|ClusterPendingArticleCandidates|GenerateThenReviewUsesSeparateModels|ReviewedResearchEvidence|AppendResearchEvidenceMarksWebContentAsUntrusted|SelectReviewEvidence)' -count=1
+go test ./internal/graph -run 'Cluster|Semantic|Similar' -count=1
+go test ./internal/ollama ./internal/workqueue -count=1
+go test ./... -run '^$' -count=1
+go vet ./...
+node --check internal/web/static/app.js
+```
+
+Alle oben genannten Prüfungen waren erfolgreich. Ein vollständiger Runtime-Test mit dem echten `modernc.org/sqlite`-Treiber ist in dieser Offline-Umgebung weiterhin nicht möglich; dieser Teil sollte im regulären Go-1.26-/Docker-Build ausgeführt werden.
