fixing chunking token issues within limit for embedding models

* feat: add metadata output to search results

- Add --show-metadata flag to display file paths in search results
- Preserve document metadata (file_path, file_name, timestamps) during chunking
- Update MCP tool schema to support show_metadata parameter
- Enhance CLI search output to display metadata when requested
- Fix pre-existing bug: args.backend -> args.backend_name

Resolves yichuan-w/LEANN#144

* fix: resolve ZMQ linking issues in Python extension

- Use pkg_check_modules IMPORTED_TARGET to create PkgConfig::ZMQ
- Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to prioritize ARM64 Homebrew on Apple Silicon
- Override macOS -undefined dynamic_lookup to force proper symbol resolution
- Use PUBLIC linkage for ZMQ in faiss library for transitive linking
- Mark cppzmq includes as SYSTEM to suppress warnings

Fixes editable install ZMQ symbol errors while maintaining compatibility
across Linux, macOS Intel, and macOS ARM64 platforms.

* style: apply ruff formatting

* chore: update faiss submodule to use ww2283 fork

Use ww2283/faiss fork with fix/zmq-linking branch to resolve CI checkout
failures. The ZMQ linking fixes are not yet merged upstream.

* feat: implement true batch processing for Ollama embeddings

Migrate from deprecated /api/embeddings to modern /api/embed endpoint
which supports batch inputs. This reduces HTTP overhead by sending
32 texts per request instead of making individual API calls.

Changes:
- Update endpoint from /api/embeddings to /api/embed
- Change parameter from 'prompt' (single) to 'input' (array)
- Update response parsing for batch embeddings array
- Increase timeout to 60s for batch processing
- Improve error handling for batch requests

Performance:
- Reduces API calls by 32x (batch size)
- Eliminates HTTP connection overhead per text
- Note: Ollama still processes batch items sequentially internally

Related: #151

* fall back to original faiss as i merge the PR

+python -m apps.slack_rag --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" --workspace-name "my-team"
+
+# Step 2: The data is now indexed and available via CLI
+leann search slack_messages "project deadline"
+leann ask slack_messages "What decisions were made about the product launch?"
+
+# Same for Twitter bookmarks
+python -m apps.twitter_rag --mcp-server "twitter-mcp-server"
+leann search twitter_bookmarks "machine learning articles"
+```

+## 🚀 Advanced Features
+
+### 🎯 Metadata Filtering
+
+LEANN supports a simple metadata filtering system to enable sophisticated use cases like document filtering by date/type, code search by file extension, and content management based on custom criteria.
+
+```python
+# Add metadata during indexing
+builder.add_text(
+    "def authenticate_user(token): ...",
+    metadata={"file_extension": ".py", "lines_of_code": 25}
+)
+
+# Search with filters
+results = searcher.search(
+    query="authentication function",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "file_extension": {"==": ".py"},
+        "lines_of_code": {"<": 100}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+**Supported operators**: `==`, `!=`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `in`, `not_in`, `contains`, `starts_with`, `ends_with`, `is_true`, `is_false`
+
+📖 **[Complete Metadata filtering guide →](docs/metadata_filtering.md)**
+
+### 🔍 Grep Search
+
+For exact text matching instead of semantic search, use the `use_grep` parameter:
+
+```python
+# Exact text search
+results = searcher.search("banana‑crocodile", use_grep=True, top_k=1)
+```
+
+**Use cases**: Finding specific code patterns, error messages, function names, or exact phrases where semantic similarity isn't needed.
+
+📖 **[Complete grep search guide →](docs/grep_search.md)**

+## Vision-based PDF Multi-Vector Demos (macOS/MPS)
+
+This folder contains two demos to index PDF pages as images and run multi-vector retrieval with ColPali/ColQwen2, plus optional similarity map visualization and answer generation.
+
+### What you’ll run
+- `multi-vector-leann-paper-example.py`: local PDF → pages → embed → build HNSW index → search.
+- `multi-vector-leann-similarity-map.py`: HF dataset (default) or local pages → embed → index → retrieve → similarity maps → optional Qwen-VL answer.
+
+## Prerequisites (macOS)
+
+### 1) Homebrew poppler (for pdf2image)
+```bash
+brew install poppler
+which pdfinfo && pdfinfo -v
+```
+
+### 2) Python environment
+Use uv (recommended) or pip. Python 3.9+.
+
+Using uv:
+```bash
+uv pip install \
+  colpali_engine \
+  pdf2image \
+  pillow \
+  matplotlib qwen_vl_utils \
+  einops \
+  seaborn
+```
+
+Notes:
+- On first run, models download from Hugging Face. Login/config if needed.
+- The scripts auto-select device: CUDA > MPS > CPU. Verify MPS:
+```bash
+python -c "import torch; print('MPS available:', bool(getattr(torch.backends, 'mps', None) and torch.backends.mps.is_available()))"
+```
+
+## Run the demos
+
+### A) Local PDF example
+Converts a local PDF into page images, embeds them, builds an index, and searches.
+
+```bash
+cd apps/multimodal/vision-based-pdf-multi-vector
+# If you don't have the sample PDF locally, download it (ignored by Git)
+mkdir -p pdfs
+curl -L -o pdfs/2004.12832v2.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.12832.pdf
+ls pdfs/2004.12832v2.pdf
+# Ensure output dir exists
+mkdir -p pages
+python multi-vector-leann-paper-example.py
+```
+Expected:
+- Page images in `pages/`.
+- Console prints like `Using device=mps, dtype=...` and retrieved file paths for queries.
+
+To use your own PDF: edit `pdf_path` near the top of the script.
+
+### B) Similarity map + answer demo
+Uses HF dataset `weaviate/arXiv-AI-papers-multi-vector` by default; can switch to local pages.
+
+```bash
+cd apps/multimodal/vision-based-pdf-multi-vector
+python multi-vector-leann-similarity-map.py
+```
+Artifacts (when enabled):
+- Retrieved pages: `./figures/retrieved_page_rank{K}.png`
+- Similarity maps: `./figures/similarity_map_rank{K}.png`
+
+Key knobs in the script (top of file):
+- `QUERY`: your question
+- `MODEL`: `"colqwen2"` or `"colpali"`
+- `USE_HF_DATASET`: set `False` to use local pages
+- `PDF`, `PAGES_DIR`: for local mode
+- `INDEX_PATH`, `TOPK`, `FIRST_STAGE_K`, `REBUILD_INDEX`
+- `SIMILARITY_MAP`, `SIM_TOKEN_IDX`, `SIM_OUTPUT`
+- `ANSWER`, `MAX_NEW_TOKENS` (Qwen-VL)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+- pdf2image errors on macOS: ensure `brew install poppler` and `pdfinfo` works in terminal.
+- Slow or OOM on MPS: reduce dataset size (e.g., set `MAX_DOCS`) or switch to CPU.
+- NaNs on MPS: keep fp32 on MPS (default in similarity-map script); avoid fp16 there.
+- First-run model downloads can be large; ensure network access (HF mirrors if needed).
+
+## Notes
+- Index files are under `./indexes/`. Delete or set `REBUILD_INDEX=True` to rebuild.
+- For local PDFs, page images go to `./pages/`.
+
+
+### Retrieval and Visualization Example
+
+Example settings in `multi-vector-leann-similarity-map.py`:
+- `QUERY = "How does DeepSeek-V2 compare against the LLaMA family of LLMs?"`
+- `SIMILARITY_MAP = True` (to generate heatmaps)
+- `TOPK = 1` (save the top retrieved page and its similarity map)
+
+Run:
+```bash
+cd apps/multimodal/vision-based-pdf-multi-vector
+python multi-vector-leann-similarity-map.py
+```
+
+Outputs (by default):
+- Retrieved page: `./figures/retrieved_page_rank1.png`
+- Similarity map: `./figures/similarity_map_rank1.png`
+
+Sample visualization (example result, and the query is "QUERY = "How does Vim model performance and efficiency compared to other models?"
+"):
+![Similarity map example](fig/image.png)
+
+Notes:
+- Set `SIM_TOKEN_IDX` to visualize a specific token index; set `-1` to auto-select the most salient token.
+- If you change `SIM_OUTPUT` to a file path (e.g., `./figures/my_map.png`), multiple ranks are saved as `my_map_rank{K}.png`.

+- Dataset: `benchmarks/data/queries/nq_open.jsonl` (Natural Questions)
+- Machine-specific; results measured locally with the current repo.
+
+DiskANN (NQ queries, search-only)
+- Command: `uv run --script benchmarks/bm25_diskann_baselines/run_diskann.py`
+- Settings: `recompute_embeddings=False`, embeddings precomputed (excluded from timing), batching off, caching off (`cache_mechanism=2`, `num_nodes_to_cache=0`)
+- Result: avg 0.011093 s/query, QPS 90.15 (p50 0.010731 s, p95 0.015000 s)
+
+BM25
+- Command: `uv run --script benchmarks/bm25_diskann_baselines/run_bm25.py`
+- Settings: `k=10`, `k1=0.9`, `b=0.4`, queries=100
+- Result: avg 0.028589 s/query, QPS 34.97 (p50 0.026060 s, p90 0.043695 s, p95 0.053260 s, p99 0.055257 s)
+
+Notes
+- DiskANN measures search-only latency on real NQ queries (embeddings computed beforehand and excluded from timing).
+- Use `benchmarks/bm25_diskann_baselines/run_diskann.py` for DiskANN; `benchmarks/bm25_diskann_baselines/run_bm25.py` for BM25.

+# LEANN-RAG Evaluation Data
+
+This repository contains the necessary data to run the recall evaluation scripts for the [LEANN-RAG](https://huggingface.co/LEANN-RAG) project.
+
+## Dataset Components
+
+This dataset is structured into three main parts:
+
+1.  **Pre-built LEANN Indices**:
+    *   `dpr/`: A pre-built index for the DPR dataset.
+    *   `rpj_wiki/`: A pre-built index for the RPJ-Wiki dataset.
+    These indices were created using the `leann-core` library and are required by the `LeannSearcher`.
+
+2.  **Ground Truth Data**:
+    *   `ground_truth/`: Contains the ground truth files (`flat_results_nq_k3.json`) for both the DPR and RPJ-Wiki datasets. These files map queries to the original passage IDs from the Natural Questions benchmark, evaluated using the Contriever model.
+
+3.  **Queries**:
+    *   `queries/`: Contains the `nq_open.jsonl` file with the Natural Questions queries used for the evaluation.
+
+## Usage
+
+To use this data, you can download it locally using the `huggingface-hub` library. First, install the library:
+
+```bash
+pip install huggingface-hub
+```
+
+Then, you can download the entire dataset to a local directory (e.g., `data/`) with the following Python script:
+
+```python
+from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
+
+snapshot_download(
+    repo_id="LEANN-RAG/leann-rag-evaluation-data",
+    repo_type="dataset",
+    local_dir="data"
+)
+```
+
+This will download all the necessary files into a local `data` folder, preserving the repository structure. The evaluation scripts in the main [LEANN-RAG Space](https://huggingface.co/LEANN-RAG) are configured to work with this data structure.

+# Enron Emails Benchmark
+
+A comprehensive RAG benchmark for evaluating LEANN search and generation on the Enron email corpus. It mirrors the structure and CLI of the existing FinanceBench and LAION benches, using stage-based evaluation with Recall@3 and generation timing.
+
+- Dataset: Enron email CSV (e.g., Kaggle wcukierski/enron-email-dataset) for passages
+- Queries: corbt/enron_emails_sample_questions (filtered for realistic questions)
+- Metrics: Recall@3 vs FAISS Flat baseline + Generation evaluation with Qwen3-8B
+
+## Layout
+
+benchmarks/enron_emails/
+- setup_enron_emails.py: Prepare passages, build LEANN index, build FAISS baseline
+- evaluate_enron_emails.py: Evaluate retrieval recall (Stages 2-5) + generation with Qwen3-8B
+- data/: Generated passages, queries, embeddings-related files
+- baseline/: FAISS Flat baseline files
+- llm_utils.py: LLM utilities for Qwen3-8B generation (in parent directory)
+
+## Quickstart
+
+1) Prepare the data and index
+
+cd benchmarks/enron_emails
+python setup_enron_emails.py --data-dir data
+
+Notes:
+- If `--emails-csv` is omitted, the script attempts to download from Kaggle dataset `wcukierski/enron-email-dataset` using Kaggle API (requires `KAGGLE_USERNAME` and `KAGGLE_KEY`).
+  Alternatively, pass a local path to `--emails-csv`.
+
+Notes:
+- The script parses emails, chunks header/body into passages, builds a compact LEANN index, and then builds a FAISS Flat baseline from the same passages and embedding model.
+- Optionally, it will also create evaluation queries from HuggingFace dataset `corbt/enron_emails_sample_questions`.
+
+2) Run recall evaluation (Stage 2)
+
+python evaluate_enron_emails.py --index data/enron_index_hnsw.leann --stage 2
+
+3) Complexity sweep (Stage 3)
+
+python evaluate_enron_emails.py --index data/enron_index_hnsw.leann --stage 3 --target-recall 0.90 --max-queries 200
+
+Stage 3 uses binary search over complexity to find the minimal value achieving the target Recall@3 (assumes recall is non-decreasing with complexity). The search expands the upper bound as needed and snaps complexity to multiples of 8.
+
+4) Index comparison (Stage 4)
+
+python evaluate_enron_emails.py --index data/enron_index_hnsw.leann --stage 4 --complexity 88 --max-queries 100 --output results.json
+
+5) Generation evaluation (Stage 5)
+
+python evaluate_enron_emails.py --index data/enron_index_hnsw.leann --stage 5 --complexity 88 --llm-backend hf --model-name Qwen/Qwen3-8B
+
+6) Combined index + generation evaluation (Stages 4+5, recommended)
+
+python evaluate_enron_emails.py --index data/enron_index_hnsw.leann --stage 45 --complexity 88 --llm-backend hf
+
+Notes:
+- Minimal CLI: you can run from repo root with only `--index`, defaults match financebench/laion patterns:
+  - `--stage` defaults to `all` (runs 2, 3, 4, 5)
+  - `--baseline-dir` defaults to `baseline`
+  - `--queries` defaults to `data/evaluation_queries.jsonl` (or falls back to the index directory)
+  - `--llm-backend` defaults to `hf` (HuggingFace), can use `vllm`
+  - `--model-name` defaults to `Qwen/Qwen3-8B`
+- Fail-fast behavior: no silent fallbacks. If compact index cannot run with recompute, it errors out.
+- Stage 5 requires Stage 4 retrieval results. Use `--stage 45` to run both efficiently.
+
+Optional flags:
+- --queries data/evaluation_queries.jsonl (custom queries file)
+- --baseline-dir baseline (where FAISS baseline lives)
+- --complexity 88 (LEANN complexity parameter, optimal for 90% recall)
+- --llm-backend hf|vllm (LLM backend for generation)
+- --model-name Qwen/Qwen3-8B (LLM model for generation)
+- --max-queries 1000 (limit number of queries for evaluation)
+
+## Files Produced
+- data/enron_passages_preview.jsonl: Small preview of passages used (for inspection)
+- data/enron_index_hnsw.leann.*: LEANN index files
+- baseline/faiss_flat.index + baseline/metadata.pkl: FAISS baseline with passage IDs
+- data/evaluation_queries.jsonl: Query file (id + query; includes GT IDs for reference)
+
+## Notes
+- Evaluates both retrieval Recall@3 and generation timing with Qwen3-8B thinking model.
+- The emails CSV must contain a column named "message" (raw RFC822 email) and a column named "file" for source identifier. Message-ID headers are parsed as canonical message IDs when present.
+- Qwen3-8B requires special handling for thinking models with chat templates and <think></think> tag processing.
+
+## Stages Summary
+
+- Stage 2 (Recall@3):
+  - Compares LEANN vs FAISS Flat baseline on Recall@3.
+  - Compact index runs with `recompute_embeddings=True`.
+
+- Stage 3 (Binary Search for Complexity):
+  - Builds a non-compact index (`<index>_noncompact.leann`) and runs binary search with `recompute_embeddings=False` to find the minimal complexity achieving target Recall@3 (default 90%).
+
+- Stage 4 (Index Comparison):
+  - Reports .index-only sizes for compact vs non-compact.
+  - Measures timings on queries by default: non-compact (no recompute) vs compact (with recompute).
+  - Stores retrieval results for Stage 5 generation evaluation.
+  - Fails fast if compact recompute cannot run.
+  - If `--complexity` is not provided, the script tries to use the best complexity from Stage 3:
+    - First from the current run (when running `--stage all`), otherwise
+    - From `enron_stage3_results.json` saved next to the index during the last Stage 3 run.
+    - If neither exists, Stage 4 will error and ask you to run Stage 3 or pass `--complexity`.
+
+- Stage 5 (Generation Evaluation):
+  - Uses Qwen3-8B thinking model for RAG generation on retrieved documents from Stage 4.
+  - Supports HuggingFace (`hf`) and vLLM (`vllm`) backends.
+  - Measures generation timing separately from search timing.
+  - Requires Stage 4 results (no additional searching performed).
+
+## Example Results
+
+These are sample results obtained on Enron data using all-mpnet-base-v2 and Qwen3-8B.
+
+- Stage 3 (Binary Search):
+  - Minimal complexity achieving 90% Recall@3: 88
+  - Sampled points:
+    - C=8 → 59.9% Recall@3
+    - C=72 → 89.4% Recall@3
+    - C=88 → 90.2% Recall@3
+    - C=96 → 90.7% Recall@3
+    - C=112 → 91.1% Recall@3
+    - C=136 → 91.3% Recall@3
+    - C=256 → 92.0% Recall@3
+
+- Stage 4 (Index Sizes, .index only):
+  - Compact: ~2.2 MB
+  - Non-compact: ~82.0 MB
+  - Storage saving by compact: ~97.3%
+
+- Stage 4 (Search Timing, 988 queries, complexity=88):
+  - Non-compact (no recompute): ~0.0075 s avg per query
+  - Compact (with recompute): ~1.981 s avg per query
+  - Speed ratio (non-compact/compact): ~0.0038x
+
+- Stage 5 (RAG Generation, 988 queries, Qwen3-8B):
+  - Average generation time: ~22.302 s per query
+  - Total queries processed: 988
+  - LLM backend: HuggingFace transformers
+  - Model: Qwen/Qwen3-8B (thinking model with <think></think> processing)
+
+Full JSON output is saved by the script (see `--output`), e.g.:
+`benchmarks/enron_emails/results_enron_stage45.json`.

+# FinanceBench Benchmark for LEANN-RAG
+
+FinanceBench is a benchmark for evaluating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems on financial document question-answering tasks.
+
+## Dataset
+
+- **Source**: [PatronusAI/financebench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/PatronusAI/financebench)
+- **Questions**: 150 financial Q&A examples
+- **Documents**: 368 PDF files (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, earnings reports)
+- **Companies**: Major public companies (3M, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.)
+- **Paper**: [FinanceBench: A New Benchmark for Financial Question Answering](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.11944)
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+benchmarks/financebench/
+├── setup_financebench.py        # Downloads PDFs and builds index
+├── evaluate_financebench.py     # Intelligent evaluation script
+├── data/

+│       └── financebench_full_hnsw.leann
+└── README.md
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### 1. Setup (Download & Build Index)
+
+```bash
+cd benchmarks/financebench
+python setup_financebench.py
+```
+
+This will:
+- Download the 150 Q&A examples
+- Download all 368 PDF documents (parallel processing)
+- Build a LEANN index from 53K+ text chunks
+- Verify setup with test query
+
+### 2. Evaluation
+
+```bash
+# Basic retrieval evaluation
+python evaluate_financebench.py --index data/index/financebench_full_hnsw.leann
+
+
+# RAG generation evaluation with Qwen3-8B
+python evaluate_financebench.py --index data/index/financebench_full_hnsw.leann --stage 4 --complexity 64 --llm-backend hf --model-name Qwen/Qwen3-8B --output results_qwen3.json
+```
+
+## Evaluation Methods
+
+### Retrieval Evaluation
+Uses intelligent matching with three strategies:
+1. **Exact text overlap** - Direct substring matches
+2. **Number matching** - Key financial figures ($1,577, 1.2B, etc.)
+3. **Semantic similarity** - Word overlap with 20% threshold
+
+### QA Evaluation
+LLM-based answer evaluation using GPT-4o:
+- Handles numerical rounding and equivalent representations
+- Considers fractions, percentages, and decimal equivalents
+- Evaluates semantic meaning rather than exact text match
+
+## Benchmark Results
+
+### LEANN-RAG Performance (sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2)
+
+**Retrieval Metrics:**
+- **Question Coverage**: 100.0% (all questions retrieve relevant docs)
+- **Exact Match Rate**: 0.7% (substring overlap with evidence)
+- **Number Match Rate**: 120.7% (key financial figures matched)*
+- **Semantic Match Rate**: 4.7% (word overlap ≥20%)
+- **Average Search Time**: 0.097s
+
+**QA Metrics:**
+- **Accuracy**: 42.7% (LLM-evaluated answer correctness)
+- **Average QA Time**: 4.71s (end-to-end response time)
+
+**System Performance:**
+- **Index Size**: 53,985 chunks from 368 PDFs
+- **Build Time**: ~5-10 minutes with sentence-transformers/all-mpnet-base-v2
+
+*Note: Number match rate >100% indicates multiple retrieved documents contain the same financial figures, which is expected behavior for financial data appearing across multiple document sections.
+
+### LEANN-RAG Generation Performance (Qwen3-8B)
+
+- **Stage 4 (Index Comparison):**
+  - Compact Index: 5.0 MB
+  - Non-compact Index: 172.2 MB
+  - **Storage Saving**: 97.1%
+- **Search Performance**:
+  - Non-compact (no recompute): 0.009s avg per query
+  - Compact (with recompute): 2.203s avg per query
+  - Speed ratio: 0.004x
+
+**Generation Evaluation (20 queries, complexity=64):**
+- **Average Search Time**: 1.638s per query
+- **Average Generation Time**: 45.957s per query
+- **LLM Backend**: HuggingFace transformers
+- **Model**: Qwen/Qwen3-8B (thinking model with <think></think> processing)
+- **Total Questions Processed**: 20

+# LAION Multimodal Benchmark
+
+A multimodal benchmark for evaluating image retrieval and generation performance using LEANN with CLIP embeddings and Qwen2.5-VL for multimodal generation on LAION dataset subset.
+
+## Overview
+
+This benchmark evaluates:
+- **Image retrieval timing** using caption-based queries
+- **Recall@K performance** for image search
+- **Complexity analysis** across different search parameters
+- **Index size and storage efficiency**
+- **Multimodal generation** with Qwen2.5-VL for image understanding and description
+
+## Dataset Configuration
+
+- **Dataset**: LAION-400M subset (10,000 images)
+- **Embeddings**: Pre-computed CLIP ViT-B/32 (512 dimensions)
+- **Queries**: 200 random captions from the dataset
+- **Ground Truth**: Self-recall (query caption → original image)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Setup the benchmark
+
+```bash
+cd benchmarks/laion
+python setup_laion.py --num-samples 10000 --num-queries 200
+```
+
+This will:
+- Create dummy LAION data (10K samples)
+- Generate CLIP embeddings (512-dim)
+- Build LEANN index with HNSW backend
+- Create 200 evaluation queries
+

+## Notes
+
+- Current implementation uses dummy data for demonstration
+- For real LAION data, implement actual download logic in `setup_laion.py`
+- CLIP embeddings are randomly generated - replace with real CLIP model for production
+- Adjust `num_samples` and `num_queries` based on available resources
+- Consider using `--num-samples` during evaluation for faster testing

+# AST-Aware Code chunking guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide covers best practices for using AST-aware code chunking in LEANN. AST chunking provides better semantic understanding of code structure compared to traditional text-based chunking.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Enable AST chunking for mixed content (code + docs)
+python -m apps.document_rag --enable-code-chunking --data-dir ./my_project
+
+# Specialized code repository indexing
+python -m apps.code_rag --repo-dir ./my_codebase
+
+# Global CLI with AST support
+leann build my-code-index --docs ./src --use-ast-chunking
+```
+
+### Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install LEANN with AST chunking support
+uv pip install -e "."
+```
+
+#### For normal users (PyPI install)
+- Use `pip install leann` or `uv pip install leann`.
+- `astchunk` is pulled automatically from PyPI as a dependency; no extra steps.
+
+#### For developers (from source, editable)
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yichuan-w/LEANN.git leann
+cd leann
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+uv sync
+```
+- This repo vendors `astchunk` as a git submodule at `packages/astchunk-leann` (our fork).
+- `[tool.uv.sources]` maps the `astchunk` package to that path in editable mode.
+- You can edit code under `packages/astchunk-leann` and Python will use your changes immediately (no separate `pip install astchunk` needed).
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### When to Use AST Chunking
+
+✅ **Recommended for:**
+- Code repositories with multiple languages
+- Mixed documentation and code content
+- Complex codebases with deep function/class hierarchies
+- When working with Claude Code for code assistance
+
+❌ **Not recommended for:**
+- Pure text documents
+- Very large files (>1MB)
+- Languages not supported by tree-sitter
+
+### Optimal Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Recommended settings for most codebases
+python -m apps.code_rag \
+    --repo-dir ./src \
+    --ast-chunk-size 768 \
+    --ast-chunk-overlap 96 \
+    --exclude-dirs .git __pycache__ node_modules build dist
+```
+
+### Supported Languages
+
+| Extension | Language | Status |
+|-----------|----------|--------|
+| `.py` | Python | ✅ Full support |
+| `.java` | Java | ✅ Full support |
+| `.cs` | C# | ✅ Full support |
+| `.ts`, `.tsx` | TypeScript | ✅ Full support |
+| `.js`, `.jsx` | JavaScript | ✅ Via TypeScript parser |
+
+## Integration Examples
+
+### Document RAG with Code Support
+
+```python
+# Enable code chunking in document RAG
+python -m apps.document_rag \
+    --enable-code-chunking \
+    --data-dir ./project \
+    --query "How does authentication work in the codebase?"
+```
+
+### Claude Code Integration
+
+When using with Claude Code MCP server, AST chunking provides better context for:
+- Code completion and suggestions
+- Bug analysis and debugging
+- Architecture understanding
+- Refactoring assistance
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Fallback to Traditional Chunking**
+   - Normal behavior for unsupported languages
+   - Check logs for specific language support
+
+2. **Performance with Large Files**
+   - Adjust `--max-file-size` parameter
+   - Use `--exclude-dirs` to skip unnecessary directories
+
+3. **Quality Issues**
+   - Try different `--ast-chunk-size` values (512, 768, 1024)
+   - Adjust overlap for better context preservation
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```bash
+export LEANN_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+python -m apps.code_rag --repo-dir ./my_code
+```
+
+## Migration from Traditional Chunking
+
+Existing workflows continue to work without changes. To enable AST chunking:
+
+```bash
+# Before
+python -m apps.document_rag --chunk-size 256
+
+# After (maintains traditional chunking for non-code files)
+python -m apps.document_rag --enable-code-chunking --chunk-size 256 --ast-chunk-size 768
+```

+## Local & Remote Inference Endpoints
+
+> Applies to both LLMs (`leann ask`) and embeddings (`leann build`).
+
+LEANN now treats Ollama, LM Studio, and other OpenAI-compatible runtimes as first-class providers. You can point LEANN at any compatible endpoint – either on the same machine or across the network – with a couple of flags or environment variables.
+
+### One-Time Environment Setup
+
+```bash
+# Works for OpenAI-compatible runtimes such as LM Studio, vLLM, SGLang, llamafile, etc.
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key"            # or leave unset for local servers that do not check keys
+export OPENAI_BASE_URL="http://localhost:1234/v1"
+
+# Ollama-compatible runtimes (Ollama, Ollama on another host, llamacpp-server, etc.)
+export LEANN_OLLAMA_HOST="http://localhost:11434"   # falls back to OLLAMA_HOST or LOCAL_LLM_ENDPOINT
+```
+
+LEANN also recognises `LEANN_LOCAL_LLM_HOST` (highest priority), `LEANN_OPENAI_BASE_URL`, and `LOCAL_OPENAI_BASE_URL`, so existing scripts continue to work.
+
+### Passing Hosts Per Command
+
+```bash
+# Build an index with a remote embedding server
+leann build my-notes \
+  --docs ./notes \
+  --embedding-mode openai \
+  --embedding-model text-embedding-qwen3-embedding-0.6b \
+  --embedding-api-base http://192.168.1.50:1234/v1 \
+  --embedding-api-key local-dev-key
+
+# Query using a local LM Studio instance via OpenAI-compatible API
+leann ask my-notes \
+  --llm openai \
+  --llm-model qwen3-8b \
+  --api-base http://localhost:1234/v1 \
+  --api-key local-dev-key
+
+# Query an Ollama instance running on another box
+leann ask my-notes \
+  --llm ollama \
+  --llm-model qwen3:14b \
+  --host http://192.168.1.101:11434
+```
+
+⚠️ **Make sure the endpoint is reachable**: when your inference server runs on a home/workstation and the index/search job runs in the cloud, the server must be able to reach the host you configured. Typical options include:
+
+- Expose a public IP (and open the relevant port) on the machine that hosts LM Studio/Ollama.
+- Configure router or cloud provider port forwarding.
+- Tunnel traffic through tools like `tailscale`, `cloudflared`, or `ssh -R`.
+
+When you set these options while building an index, LEANN stores them in `meta.json`. Any subsequent `leann ask` or searcher process automatically reuses the same provider settings – even when we spawn background embedding servers. This makes the “server without GPU talking to my local workstation” workflow from [issue #80](https://github.com/yichuan-w/LEANN/issues/80#issuecomment-2287230548) work out-of-the-box.
+
+**Tip:** If your runtime does not require an API key (many local stacks don’t), leave `--api-key` unset. LEANN will skip injecting credentials.
+
+### Python API Usage
+
+You can pass the same configuration from Python:
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannBuilder
+
+builder = LeannBuilder(
+    backend_name="hnsw",
+    embedding_mode="openai",
+    embedding_model="text-embedding-qwen3-embedding-0.6b",
+    embedding_options={
+        "base_url": "http://192.168.1.50:1234/v1",
+        "api_key": "local-dev-key",
+    },
+)
+builder.build_index("./indexes/my-notes", chunks)
+```
+
+`embedding_options` is persisted to the index `meta.json`, so subsequent `LeannSearcher` or `LeannChat` sessions automatically reuse the same provider settings (the embedding server manager forwards them to the provider for you).

+# LEANN Grep Search Usage Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+LEANN's grep search functionality provides exact text matching for finding specific code patterns, error messages, function names, or exact phrases in your indexed documents.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Simple Grep Search
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannSearcher
+
+searcher = LeannSearcher("your_index_path")
+
+# Exact text search
+results = searcher.search("def authenticate_user", use_grep=True, top_k=5)
+
+for result in results:
+    print(f"Score: {result.score}")
+    print(f"Text: {result.text[:100]}...")
+    print("-" * 40)
+```
+
+### Comparison: Semantic vs Grep Search
+
+```python
+# Semantic search - finds conceptually similar content
+semantic_results = searcher.search("machine learning algorithms", top_k=3)
+
+# Grep search - finds exact text matches
+grep_results = searcher.search("def train_model", use_grep=True, top_k=3)
+```
+
+## When to Use Grep Search
+
+### Use Cases
+
+- **Code Search**: Finding specific function definitions, class names, or variable references
+- **Error Debugging**: Locating exact error messages or stack traces
+- **Documentation**: Finding specific API endpoints or exact terminology
+
+### Examples
+
+```python
+# Find function definitions
+functions = searcher.search("def __init__", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find import statements
+imports = searcher.search("from sklearn import", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find specific error types
+errors = searcher.search("FileNotFoundError", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find TODO comments
+todos = searcher.search("TODO:", use_grep=True)
+
+# Find configuration entries
+configs = searcher.search("server_port=", use_grep=True)
+```
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **File Location**: Grep search operates on the raw text stored in `.jsonl` files
+2. **Command Execution**: Uses the system `grep` command with case-insensitive search
+3. **Result Processing**: Parses JSON lines and extracts text and metadata
+4. **Scoring**: Simple frequency-based scoring based on query term occurrences
+
+### Search Process
+
+```
+Query: "def train_model"
+  ↓
+grep -i -n "def train_model" documents.leann.passages.jsonl
+  ↓
+Parse matching JSON lines
+  ↓
+Calculate scores based on term frequency
+  ↓
+Return top_k results
+```
+
+### Scoring Algorithm
+
+```python
+# Term frequency in document
+score = text.lower().count(query.lower())
+```
+
+Results are ranked by score (highest first), with higher scores indicating more occurrences of the search term.
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Grep Command Not Found
+```
+RuntimeError: grep command not found. Please install grep or use semantic search.
+```
+
+**Solution**: Install grep on your system:
+- **Ubuntu/Debian**: `sudo apt-get install grep`
+- **macOS**: grep is pre-installed
+- **Windows**: Use WSL or install grep via Git Bash/MSYS2
+
+#### No Results Found
+```python
+# Check if your query exists in the raw data
+results = searcher.search("your_query", use_grep=True)
+if not results:
+    print("No exact matches found. Try:")
+    print("1. Check spelling and case")
+    print("2. Use partial terms")
+    print("3. Switch to semantic search")
+```

+# LEANN Metadata Filtering Usage Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+Leann possesses metadata filtering capabilities that allow you to filter search results based on arbitrary metadata fields set during chunking. This feature enables use cases like spoiler-free book search, document filtering by date/type, code search by file type, and potentially much more.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Adding Metadata to Your Documents
+
+When building your index, add metadata to each text chunk:
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannBuilder
+
+builder = LeannBuilder("hnsw")
+
+# Add text with metadata
+builder.add_text(
+    text="Chapter 1: Alice falls down the rabbit hole",
+    metadata={
+        "chapter": 1,
+        "character": "Alice",
+        "themes": ["adventure", "curiosity"],
+        "word_count": 150
+    }
+)
+
+builder.build_index("alice_in_wonderland_index")
+```
+
+### Searching with Metadata Filters
+
+Use the `metadata_filters` parameter in search calls:
+
+```python
+from leann.api import LeannSearcher
+
+searcher = LeannSearcher("alice_in_wonderland_index")
+
+# Search with filters
+results = searcher.search(
+    query="What happens to Alice?",
+    top_k=10,
+    metadata_filters={
+        "chapter": {"<=": 5},           # Only chapters 1-5
+        "spoiler_level": {"!=": "high"} # No high spoilers
+    }
+)
+```
+
+## Filter Syntax
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+```python
+metadata_filters = {
+    "field_name": {"operator": value},
+    "another_field": {"operator": value}
+}
+```
+
+### Supported Operators
+
+#### Comparison Operators
+- `"=="`: Equal to
+- `"!="`: Not equal to
+- `"<"`: Less than
+- `"<="`: Less than or equal
+- `">"`: Greater than
+- `">="`: Greater than or equal
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"chapter": {"==": 1}}           # Exactly chapter 1
+{"page": {">": 100}}            # Pages after 100
+{"rating": {">=": 4.0}}         # Rating 4.0 or higher
+{"word_count": {"<": 500}}      # Short passages
+```
+
+#### Membership Operators
+- `"in"`: Value is in list
+- `"not_in"`: Value is not in list
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"character": {"in": ["Alice", "Bob"]}}      # Alice OR Bob
+{"genre": {"not_in": ["horror", "thriller"]}} # Exclude genres
+{"tags": {"in": ["fiction", "adventure"]}}   # Any of these tags
+```
+
+#### String Operators
+- `"contains"`: String contains substring
+- `"starts_with"`: String starts with prefix
+- `"ends_with"`: String ends with suffix
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"title": {"contains": "alice"}}        # Title contains "alice"
+{"filename": {"ends_with": ".py"}}      # Python files
+{"author": {"starts_with": "Dr."}}      # Authors with "Dr." prefix
+```
+
+#### Boolean Operators
+- `"is_true"`: Field is truthy
+- `"is_false"`: Field is falsy
+
+```python
+# Examples
+{"is_published": {"is_true": True}}     # Published content
+{"is_draft": {"is_false": False}}       # Not drafts
+```
+
+### Multiple Operators on Same Field
+
+You can apply multiple operators to the same field (AND logic):
+
+```python
+metadata_filters = {
+    "word_count": {
+        ">=": 100,    # At least 100 words
+        "<=": 500     # At most 500 words
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Compound Filters
+
+Multiple fields are combined with AND logic:
+
+```python
+metadata_filters = {
+    "chapter": {"<=": 10},              # Up to chapter 10
+    "character": {"==": "Alice"},       # About Alice
+    "spoiler_level": {"!=": "high"}     # No major spoilers
+}
+```
+
+## Use Case Examples
+
+### 1. Spoiler-Free Book Search
+
+```python
+# Reader has only read up to chapter 5
+def search_spoiler_free(query, max_chapter):
+    return searcher.search(
+        query=query,
+        metadata_filters={
+            "chapter": {"<=": max_chapter},
+            "spoiler_level": {"in": ["none", "low"]}
+        }
+    )
+
+results = search_spoiler_free("What happens to Alice?", max_chapter=5)
+```
+
+### 2. Document Management by Date
+
+```python
+# Find recent documents
+recent_docs = searcher.search(
+    query="project updates",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "date": {">=": "2024-01-01"},
+        "document_type": {"==": "report"}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 3. Code Search by File Type
+
+```python
+# Search only Python files
+python_code = searcher.search(
+    query="authentication function",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "file_extension": {"==": ".py"},
+        "lines_of_code": {"<": 100}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 4. Content Filtering by Audience
+
+```python
+# Age-appropriate content
+family_content = searcher.search(
+    query="adventure stories",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "age_rating": {"in": ["G", "PG"]},
+        "content_warnings": {"not_in": ["violence", "adult_themes"]}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+### 5. Multi-Book Series Management
+
+```python
+# Search across first 3 books only
+early_series = searcher.search(
+    query="character development",
+    metadata_filters={
+        "series": {"==": "Harry Potter"},
+        "book_number": {"<=": 3}
+    }
+)
+```
+
+## Running the Example
+
+You can see metadata filtering in action with our spoiler-free book RAG example:
+
+```bash
+# Don't forget to set up the environment
+uv venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Set your OpenAI API key (required for embeddings, but you can update the example locally and use ollama instead)
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+
+# Run the spoiler-free book RAG example
+uv run examples/spoiler_free_book_rag.py
+```
+
+This example demonstrates:
+- Building an index with metadata (chapter numbers, characters, themes, locations)
+- Searching with filters to avoid spoilers (e.g., only show results up to chapter 5)
+- Different scenarios for readers at various points in the book
+
+The example uses Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as sample data and shows how you can search for information without revealing plot points from later chapters.
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### Custom Chunking with metadata
+
+```python
+def chunk_book_with_metadata(book_text, book_info):
+    chunks = []
+
+    for chapter_num, chapter_text in parse_chapters(book_text):
+        # Extract entities, themes, etc.
+        characters = extract_characters(chapter_text)
+        themes = classify_themes(chapter_text)
+        spoiler_level = assess_spoiler_level(chapter_text, chapter_num)
+
+        # Create chunks with rich metadata
+        for paragraph in split_paragraphs(chapter_text):
+            chunks.append({
+                "text": paragraph,
+                "metadata": {
+                    "book_title": book_info["title"],
+                    "chapter": chapter_num,
+                    "characters": characters,
+                    "themes": themes,
+                    "spoiler_level": spoiler_level,
+                    "word_count": len(paragraph.split()),
+                    "reading_level": calculate_reading_level(paragraph)
+                }
+            })
+
+    return chunks
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Efficient Filtering Strategies
+
+1. **Post-search filtering**: Applies filters after vector search, which should be efficient for typical result sets (10-100 results).
+
+2. **Metadata design**: Keep metadata fields simple and avoid deeply nested structures.
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Consistent metadata schema**: Use consistent field names and value types across your documents.
+
+2. **Reasonable metadata size**: Keep metadata reasonably sized to avoid storage overhead.
+
+3. **Type consistency**: Use consistent data types for the same fields (e.g., always integers for chapter numbers).
+
+4. **Index multiple granularities**: Consider chunking at different levels (paragraph, section, chapter) with appropriate metadata.
+
+### Adding Metadata to Existing Indices
+
+To add metadata filtering to existing indices, you'll need to rebuild them with metadata:
+
+```python
+# Read existing passages and add metadata
+def add_metadata_to_existing_chunks(chunks):
+    for chunk in chunks:
+        # Extract or assign metadata based on content
+        chunk["metadata"] = extract_metadata(chunk["text"])
+    return chunks
+
+# Rebuild index with metadata
+enhanced_chunks = add_metadata_to_existing_chunks(existing_chunks)
+builder = LeannBuilder("hnsw")
+for chunk in enhanced_chunks:
+    builder.add_text(chunk["text"], chunk["metadata"])
+builder.build_index("enhanced_index")
+```

+# Slack Integration Setup Guide
+
+This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up Slack integration with LEANN.
+
+## Overview
+
+LEANN's Slack integration uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to fetch and index your Slack messages for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). This allows you to search through your Slack conversations using natural language queries.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+1. **Slack Workspace Access**: You need admin or owner permissions in your Slack workspace to create apps and configure OAuth tokens.
+
+2. **Slack MCP Server**: Install a Slack MCP server (e.g., `slack-mcp-server` via npm)
+
+3. **LEANN**: Ensure you have LEANN installed and working
+
+## Step 1: Create a Slack App
+
+### 1.1 Go to Slack API Dashboard
+
+1. Visit [https://api.slack.com/apps](https://api.slack.com/apps)
+2. Click **"Create New App"**
+3. Choose **"From scratch"**
+4. Enter your app name (e.g., "LEANN Slack Integration")
+5. Select your workspace
+6. Click **"Create App"**
+
+### 1.2 Configure App Permissions
+
+#### Token Scopes
+
+1. In your app dashboard, go to **"OAuth & Permissions"** in the left sidebar
+2. Scroll down to **"Scopes"** section
+3. Under **"Bot Token Scopes & OAuth Scope"**, click **"Add an OAuth Scope"**
+4. Add the following scopes:
+   - `channels:read` - Read public channel information
+   - `channels:history` - Read messages in public channels
+   - `groups:read` - Read private channel information
+   - `groups:history` - Read messages in private channels
+   - `im:read` - Read direct message information
+   - `im:history` - Read direct messages
+   - `mpim:read` - Read group direct message information
+   - `mpim:history` - Read group direct messages
+   - `users:read` - Read user information
+   - `team:read` - Read workspace information
+
+#### App-Level Tokens (Optional)
+
+Some MCP servers may require app-level tokens:
+
+1. Go to **"Basic Information"** in the left sidebar
+2. Scroll down to **"App-Level Tokens"**
+3. Click **"Generate Token and Scopes"**
+4. Enter a name (e.g., "LEANN Integration")
+5. Add the `connections:write` scope
+6. Click **"Generate"**
+7. Copy the token (starts with `xapp-`)
+
+### 1.3 Install App to Workspace
+
+1. Go to **"OAuth & Permissions"** in the left sidebar
+2. Click **"Install to Workspace"**
+3. Review the permissions and click **"Allow"**
+4. Copy the **"Bot User OAuth Token"** (starts with `xoxb-`)
+5. Copy the **"User OAuth Token"** (starts with `xoxp-`)
+
+## Step 2: Install Slack MCP Server
+
+### Option A: Using npm (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Install globally
+npm install -g slack-mcp-server
+
+# Or install locally
+npm install slack-mcp-server
+```
+
+### Option B: Using npx (No installation required)
+
+```bash
+# Use directly without installation
+npx slack-mcp-server
+```
+
+## Step 3: Install and Configure Ollama (for Real LLM Responses)
+
+### 3.1 Install Ollama
+
+```bash
+# Install Ollama using Homebrew (macOS)
+brew install ollama
+
+# Or download from https://ollama.ai/
+```
+
+### 3.2 Start Ollama Service
+
+```bash
+# Start Ollama as a service
+brew services start ollama
+
+# Or start manually
+ollama serve
+```
+
+### 3.3 Pull a Model
+
+```bash
+# Pull a lightweight model for testing
+ollama pull llama3.2:1b
+
+# Verify the model is available
+ollama list
+```
+
+## Step 4: Configure Environment Variables
+
+Create a `.env` file or set environment variables:
+
+```bash
+# Required: User OAuth Token
+SLACK_OAUTH_TOKEN=xoxp-your-user-oauth-token-here
+
+# Optional: App-Level Token (if your MCP server requires it)
+SLACK_APP_TOKEN=xapp-your-app-token-here
+
+# Optional: Workspace-specific settings
+SLACK_WORKSPACE_ID=T1234567890  # Your workspace ID (optional)
+```
+
+## Step 5: Test the Setup
+
+### 5.1 Test MCP Server Connection
+
+```bash
+python -m apps.slack_rag \
+  --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+  --test-connection \
+  --workspace-name "Your Workspace Name"
+```
+
+This will test the connection and list available tools without indexing any data.
+
+### 5.2 Index a Specific Channel
+
+```bash
+python -m apps.slack_rag \
+  --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+  --workspace-name "Your Workspace Name" \
+  --channels general \
+  --query "What did we discuss about the project?"
+```
+
+### 5.3 Real RAG Query Examples
+
+This section demonstrates successful Slack RAG integration queries against the Sky Lab Computing workspace's "random" channel. The system successfully retrieves actual conversation messages and performs semantic search with high relevance scores, including finding specific research paper announcements and technical discussions.
+
+### Example 1: Advisor Models Query
+
+**Query:** "train black-box models to adopt to your personal data"
+
+This query demonstrates the system's ability to find specific research announcements about training black-box models for personal data adaptation.
+
+![Advisor Models Query - Command Setup](videos/slack_integration_1.1.png)
+
+![Advisor Models Query - Search Results](videos/slack_integration_1.2.png)
+
+![Advisor Models Query - LLM Response](videos/slack_integration_1.3.png)
+
+### Example 2: Barbarians at the Gate Query
+
+**Query:** "AI-driven research systems ADRS"
+
+This query demonstrates the system's ability to find specific research announcements about AI-driven research systems and algorithm discovery.
+

+
+![Barbarians Query - Search Results](videos/slack_integration_2.2.png)
+
+![Barbarians Query - LLM Response](videos/slack_integration_2.3.png)
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Bot is installed in the Sky Lab Computing workspace and invited to the target channel (run `/invite @YourBotName` in the channel if needed)
+- Bot token available and exported in the same terminal session
+
+### Commands
+
+1) Set the workspace token for this shell
+
+```bash
+export SLACK_MCP_XOXP_TOKEN="xoxp-***-redacted-***"
+```
+
+2) Run queries against the "random" channel by channel ID (C0GN5BX0F)
+
+**Advisor Models Query:**
+```bash
+python -m apps.slack_rag \
+  --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+  --workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
+  --channels C0GN5BX0F \
+  --max-messages-per-channel 100000 \
+  --query "train black-box models to adopt to your personal data" \
+  --llm ollama \
+  --llm-model "llama3.2:1b" \
+  --llm-host "http://localhost:11434" \
+  --no-concatenate-conversations
+```
+
+**Barbarians at the Gate Query:**
+```bash
+python -m apps.slack_rag \
+  --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+  --workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
+  --channels C0GN5BX0F \
+  --max-messages-per-channel 100000 \
+  --query "AI-driven research systems ADRS" \
+  --llm ollama \
+  --llm-model "llama3.2:1b" \
+  --llm-host "http://localhost:11434" \
+  --no-concatenate-conversations
+```
+
+These examples demonstrate the system's ability to find and retrieve specific research announcements and technical discussions from the conversation history, showcasing the power of semantic search in Slack data.
+
+3) Optional: Ask a broader question
+
+```bash
+python test_channel_by_id_or_name.py \
+  --channel-id C0GN5BX0F \
+  --workspace-name "Sky Lab Computing" \
+  --query "What is LEANN about?"
+```
+
+Notes:
+- If you see `not_in_channel`, invite the bot to the channel and re-run.
+- If you see `channel_not_found`, confirm the channel ID and workspace.
+- Deep search via server-side “search” tools may require additional Slack scopes; the example above performs client-side filtering over retrieved history.
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### Issue 1: "users cache is not ready yet" Error
+
+**Problem**: You see this warning:
+```
+WARNING - Failed to fetch messages from channel random: Failed to fetch messages: {'code': -32603, 'message': 'users cache is not ready yet, sync process is still running... please wait'}
+```
+
+**Solution**: This is a common timing issue. The LEANN integration now includes automatic retry logic:
+
+1. **Wait and Retry**: The system will automatically retry with exponential backoff (2s, 4s, 8s, etc.)
+2. **Increase Retry Parameters**: If needed, you can customize retry behavior:
+   ```bash
+   python -m apps.slack_rag \
+     --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+     --max-retries 10 \
+     --retry-delay 3.0 \
+     --channels general \
+     --query "Your query here"
+   ```
+3. **Keep MCP Server Running**: Start the MCP server separately and keep it running:
+   ```bash
+   # Terminal 1: Start MCP server
+   slack-mcp-server
+
+   # Terminal 2: Run LEANN (it will connect to the running server)
+   python -m apps.slack_rag --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" --channels general --query "test"
+   ```
+
+### Issue 2: "No message fetching tool found"
+
+**Problem**: The MCP server doesn't have the expected tools.
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check if your MCP server is properly installed and configured
+2. Verify your Slack tokens are correct
+3. Try a different MCP server implementation
+4. Check the MCP server documentation for required configuration
+
+### Issue 3: Permission Denied Errors
+
+**Problem**: You get permission errors when trying to access channels.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check Bot Permissions**: Ensure your bot has been added to the channels you want to access
+2. **Verify Token Scopes**: Make sure you have all required scopes configured
+3. **Channel Access**: For private channels, the bot needs to be explicitly invited
+4. **Workspace Permissions**: Ensure your Slack app has the necessary workspace permissions
+
+### Issue 4: Empty Results
+
+**Problem**: No messages are returned even though the channel has messages.
+
+**Solutions**:
+1. **Check Channel Names**: Ensure channel names are correct (without the # symbol)
+2. **Verify Bot Access**: Make sure the bot can access the channels
+3. **Check Date Ranges**: Some MCP servers have limitations on message history
+4. **Increase Message Limits**: Try increasing the message limit:
+   ```bash
+   python -m apps.slack_rag \
+     --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+     --channels general \
+     --max-messages-per-channel 1000 \
+     --query "test"
+   ```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+### Custom MCP Server Commands
+
+If you need to pass additional parameters to your MCP server:
+
+```bash
+python -m apps.slack_rag \
+  --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server --token-file /path/to/tokens.json" \
+  --workspace-name "Your Workspace" \
+  --channels general \
+  --query "Your query"
+```
+
+### Multiple Workspaces
+
+To work with multiple Slack workspaces, you can:
+
+1. Create separate apps for each workspace
+2. Use different environment variables
+3. Run separate instances with different configurations
+
+### Performance Optimization
+
+For better performance with large workspaces:
+
+```bash
+python -m apps.slack_rag \
+  --mcp-server "slack-mcp-server" \
+  --workspace-name "Your Workspace" \
+  --max-messages-per-channel 500 \
+  --no-concatenate-conversations \
+  --query "Your query"
+```
+---

+By default the script builds an index from ``data/2501.14312v1 (1).pdf`` and
+then updates it with LEANN-related material from ``data/2506.08276v1.pdf``.
+It issues the query "What's LEANN?" before and after the update to show how the
+new passages become immediately searchable. The script uses the
+``sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2`` model with ``is_recompute=True`` so
+Faiss pulls existing vectors on demand via the ZMQ embedding server, while
+freshly added passages are embedded locally just like the initial build.
+
+To make storage comparisons easy, the script can also build a matching
+``is_recompute=False`` baseline (enabled by default) and report the index size
+delta after the update. Disable the baseline run with
+``--skip-compare-no-recompute`` if you only need the recompute flow.
