Report #24823

[frontier] Semantic search failing on jargon-heavy or implicit intent queries

Generate hypothetical ideal answer with LLM, embed that for retrieval instead of raw query \(HyDE pattern\)

Journey Context:
User queries often lack the domain terminology present in documentation \(e.g., 'how do I make it go fast' vs 'performance optimization techniques'\); HyDE uses an LLM to generate a hypothetical 'perfect' document that would answer the query, then embeds this synthetic document to retrieve actual relevant chunks, bridging the lexical gap between user intent and corpus terminology
