Critical Constraints

1. Profile Sovereignty: The --profile parameter is mandatory to ensure queries target the correct collection and embedding space.
2. API Integrity: Never read SQLite or Parquet backing files directly. Queries must execute through scripts/query.py.
3. Search Protocol Placement: Use as Phase 2 when RLM summaries return insufficient detail, before falling back to raw regex grep.
