Complete rebrand to eliminate any Claude/Anthropic references:
Directory Changes:
- claude_rag/ → mini_rag/ (preserving git history)
Content Changes:
- Replaced 930+ Claude references across 40+ files
- Updated all imports: from claude_rag → from mini_rag
- Updated all file paths: .claude-rag → .mini-rag
- Updated documentation and comments
- Updated configuration files and examples
Testing Changes:
- All tests updated to use mini_rag imports
- Integration tests verify new module structure
This ensures complete independence from Claude/Anthropic
branding while maintaining all functionality and git history.
- Update README with prominent two-mode explanation (synthesis vs exploration)
- Add exploration mode to TUI with full interactive interface
- Create comprehensive mode separation tests (test_mode_separation.py)
- Update Ollama integration tests to cover both synthesis and exploration modes
- Add CLI reference updates showing both modes
- Implement complete testing coverage for lazy loading, mode contamination prevention
- Add session management tests for exploration mode
- Update all examples and help text to reflect clean two-mode architecture
📚 DOCUMENTATION
- docs/QUERY_EXPANSION.md: Complete beginner guide with examples and troubleshooting
- Updated config.yaml with proper LLM settings and comments
- Clear explanations of when features are enabled/disabled
🧪 NEW TESTING INFRASTRUCTURE
- test_ollama_integration.py: 6 comprehensive tests with helpful error messages
- test_smart_ranking.py: 6 tests verifying ranking quality improvements
- troubleshoot.py: Interactive tool for diagnosing setup issues
- Enhanced system validation with new features coverage
⚙️ SMART DEFAULTS
- Query expansion disabled by default (CLI speed)
- TUI enables expansion automatically (exploration mode)
- Clear user feedback about which features are active
- Graceful degradation when Ollama unavailable
🎯 BEGINNER-FRIENDLY APPROACH
