+## 개요 (역사 박제)
+
+Phase 2Q Diagnose 결과 H1 (both backends 유의미 net 개선) 확정 + Rerank-Payload-Fix
+완료 후 Apply opt-in 진입 (commit `fef5ddc`). **단 measurement chain 의 다층 inflation
+발견 후 정정값 기준 결정 = closed as experiment.**
+
+## 측정 정정 history (모든 inflation 정정)
+
+| Layer | commit | NDCG | inflation 원인 |
+|---|---|---:|---|
+| Phase 3 | `a41adb6` | 0.927 | chunk_id 중복 누적 |
+| Rerank-Fix | `b734fc5` | 0.876 | doc_id 잔재 (chunk dedup 만) |
+| Eval-Dedup | `3553573` | 0.641 | eval layer 만 dedup |
+| **Result-Dedup (최종)** | **`5e480d6`** | **0.663** | ✅ 0/51 dedup audit 정상 |
+
+**진짜 multi-query 효과** (baseline 0.644 대비):
+- NDCG cold +0.019 / warm +0.015 ← sub-noise
+- Recall t≥2 cold +0.030 / warm +0.022 ← 소량 개선
+- Recall t≥3 0.000 (cold) / -0.022 (warm) ← 동등~약간 회귀
+- **latency p50 cold +876% (3692ms) / warm +320% (1588ms)** ← 비용 명확
+- 카테고리: english/standards/mixed 소량 우세 / exam/korean 소량 회귀
+
+→ **multi-query 의 marginal quality 개선이 latency cost + 시스템 복잡도 + LLM 의존 정당화 X**.
+
+## 권고 (사용자 결정 2026-05-24)
+
+**Phase 2Q 자체는 실패가 아닌 좋은 실험**. 성과:
+- chunk_id 중복 inflation 발견 (Phase 3 → Rerank-Fix)
+- doc_id / result dedup 문제 정리 (Eval-Dedup → Result-Dedup)
+- multi-query 의 실제 효과를 정량화 (NDCG +0.019)
+- "LLM rewrite 는 현재 DS 검색 기본값으로는 ROI 낮음" 결론 확보
+- 신규 feedback 메모리 3건 (fixture-first call shape / apply prereq structural fix /
+  graded NDCG dedup invariant)
+
+**기능 자체는 deprecated, 교훈과 인프라는 보존**.
+
+## ~~rollout 정책~~ (역사 박제)
+
+이전 결정: opt-in 1주 관찰 ~2026-05-31 → default ON 검토.
+**정정 결정 (2026-05-24)**: closed as evaluated experiment, default ON 진행 X.
 
 **추천 LLM = `cand_multi_query_macmini` (gemma-4-26b-a4b-it-8bit, Mac mini)**.
