Evaluation harness for RAG retrieval quality

Transitioning from heuristic-based 'vibes' development to data-driven performance optimization.

The current development cycle for gbrain is bottlenecked by a lack of empirical validation. Relying on 'vibes' for tuning complex retrieval pipelines—specifically hybrid search parameters and embedding model selection—is unsustainable for production-grade agents. The proposed evaluation harness i...
