What Was Built

Complete end-to-end verification of the Docker Compose stack for RAG Support Desk. All 7 smoke tests pass and human confirmed UI, API, ingest, and query work in browser.

One-liner

Full stack verified: 7/7 smoke tests green, browser UI loads, ingest writes chunks, Claude query returns German log analysis β€” three root-cause bugs found and fixed during verification

Key Files

  • smoke_test.sh β€” fixed pipe quoting (OPS-03/SVC-03) and case sensitivity for uvicorn grep
  • schema.sql β€” reduced ivfflat lists from 100 to 1 (fix for zero-results with LIMIT on small datasets)
  • .env β€” updated to Docker container hostnames (db:5432, ollama:11434)

Bugs Fixed During Verification

  1. .env stale β€” localhost URLs β†’ updated to db:5432 / ollama:11434 to match Docker network
  2. smoke_test.sh pipe bug β€” OPS-03 and SVC-03 used bare pipes which ran on check()'s stdout, not inside the command; wrapped in bash -c; also added -i flag for case-insensitive uvicorn match
  3. IVFFlat index lists=100 β€” with only a handful of rows, ORDER BY embedding <=> ... LIMIT N returned 0 results (index couldn't fill 100 clusters); reduced to lists=1
