Local processing
BM25 and deterministic sentence extraction need no LLM, account, telemetry, API key or network request. FastEmbed embeddings/cross-encoders run locally after initial model download. Ollama uses your configured service. The CLI does not supply a server or credits.
Selected model operations
An OpenAI-compatible endpoint may be local or remote. Embeddings receive source text and queries. Rewriting receives the original question and instruction. Model compression receives questions and candidate bodies. Reviewed evidence IDs/reference answers are excluded from retrieval/transformation prompts. Optional workspace generation sends selected context and questions.
Configuration and secrets
Portable precedence is CLI flags, environment, explicit --config, user configuration, defaults. --env-file contributes values below actual process environment. No data-folder dotenv/config is discovered automatically. Credentials are excluded from reports; provider/model/endpoint identities and prompts may be included.
Review before sharing
Exports may contain complete passages, questions, prompts and outputs; internal artifacts can contain the full corpus and references. Review the destination’s retention/security policies and sanitize data before sending or sharing it.
