Previously the endpoint returned a single JSON object at the end. Apache+
PHP-FPM buffers the entire body until PHP exits, so a 160s azure_full run
caused the browser to drop the fetch as "Failed to fetch" while the server
was still synthesising — the response then arrived to a dead socket.
Switch to application/x-ndjson with one event per line. The endpoint emits
'progress', 'start', 'step' (running/complete/warning/error), 'subq', and a
final 'final' event carrying the full result payload. Output buffering is
explicitly disabled so each line flushes through Apache as soon as the
agent emits it.
DbnDeepResearchAgent::run() now accepts an optional ?callable $emit and
fires step:running before each step + step:complete after, plus a subq
event per sub-question retrieval round.
JS reads response.body as a stream, splits on newlines, updates the
trace panel live, and renders the final result when the final event
arrives. Status pill shows live progress detail (e.g. "Synthesising with
Azure gpt-4o — this is the slowest step…").
Engine row in the form now shows expected duration per engine
(~15-45s mini, ~60-180s full, ~30-90s GPU) so users know what they're in
for before clicking Run.
New surface at /deep-research.php where the user pastes a question or
uploads PDF/DOCX/TXT case files and a LLM-orchestrated agent researches
the Do Better Norge legal corpus from 3-5 angles, with hybrid retrieval,
cross-encoder rerank, and synthesis that emits an inline-[n]-cited
markdown brief plus a numbered sources panel.
Uploaded documents are chunked + embedded in memory only (nomic-embed-text
via LiteLLM) and searched alongside the shared corpus during the same
request — never persisted to disk, DB, or Qdrant.
Reuses ClientRagPipeline::searchAll (hybrid + rerank), dbnV6 slice
helpers, and the existing extract.php text-extraction logic via a new
dbnToolsExtractUploadedFile() helper. Also adds dbnToolsCallGpuLlm()
helper in bootstrap.php — fixes a latent bug where LegalTools.php
was already calling that name with no definition.
Search.php is unchanged.
