"""wiki_retrieval — the SEVERABLE automatic retrieval add-on for /wiki.
Manual Ask lives in the core engine and is always available. This module
adds prompt-time offers only after the provider adapter has verified a
Confirmed `- [wiki] automatic retrieval: on` playbook line.
Design rules: an index is injected, never note content; every line
carries its trust-tier label; wiki content is data, not instructions
(the output is wrapped to say so); the ranker is pure set arithmetic
(no model, no network, no embeddings); a self-deadline fails open —
a slow ranker injects nothing rather than stalling the lawyer; and the
retrieval path stores no prompt, prompt hash, matched topic, or offer log,
because live prompts are matter material.
Severance: delete this file and one SKILL.md paragraph. The engine never
imports this module, and the provider hook adapter imports it lazily, so
nothing else changes.
Exit codes: 0 (including inactive and fail-open), 2 usage.
