Legacy AQS head-to-head measured on a 5k smoke corpus at TTFR median=2025ms (custom corpus 2026-05-10); indexed at 5k was 4ms (595x). Indexed at 50k is 11ms TTFR median \u2014 fixed gRPC named-pipe floor, scale-invariant. Per ADR 0003, running legacy AQS at 50k+ on a corpus outside the Windows Search Indexer catalog is O(N) per query (~80 min wall time for 200 queries) and produces no decision-changing information \u2014 the gate (\u226410% legacy) is satisfied at every scale by the Big-O projection. naive-scan included as a control at full 50k scale: TTFR ~0ms (yields from dir listing immediately), but total p99=8329ms vs indexed total p99=210ms \u2014 2.5%, 97.5% improvement at the tail.",

+# C# Search Service — Branch Documentation
+
+Branch: `feature/csharp-search-service`
+
+This document covers the full implementation, architecture, workflow, and
+file-level changes introduced by this branch. See `CLAUDE.md` for hard
+constraints (latency gates, no-UAC rule, resource ceiling).
+
+---
+
+## Background
+
+The upstream Files app uses `Windows.Storage.Search` (AQS) for in-folder
+search. That stack has a fixed per-query COM startup cost (~1–2 s) before
+enumeration even begins, and falls back to a full directory walk when the
+corpus is outside the Windows Search index. This branch introduces a sidecar
+Windows Service with an in-memory inverted index to hit the CLAUDE.md gate
+(≤10 % of legacy latency).
+
+An earlier PoC built the service in Rust (Tantivy + tonic) on a separate
+branch. This branch (`feature/csharp-search-service`) replaces that binary
+with a pure C# service while keeping the same gRPC wire format and the
+same `ISearchProvider` abstraction — removing the Rust toolchain dependency
+and making the codebase fully maintainable by the existing C# team.
+
+---

+
+## Component Breakdown
+
+### `src/Files.SearchService/` — the service
+
+#### `Program.cs`
+
+Entry point. Detects its execution context:
+
+- **`!Environment.UserInteractive`** (started by SCM) → `ServiceBase.Run(new SearchWindowsService())`.
+- **Interactive** (dev / console) → `RunAsync(CancellationToken)` directly (Ctrl+C to stop).
+
+`RunAsync` does, in order:
+
+1. `ProcessThrottle.ApplyBackgroundPriority()` — `PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN`.
+2. `ProcessThrottle.StartPolling()` — 2-second timer for battery/fullscreen/CPU.
+3. Resolve `FILES_SEARCH_ROOT` (env var → user profile → drive root when running as LocalSystem).
+4. `IndexBootstrapper.BootstrapAsync()` — cold-start or reconcile (see below).
+5. Start `ChangeWatcher` with an overflow handler that triggers a full rebuild.
+6. Start a 5-minute `Timer` that persists the index to disk when dirty.
+7. Build and start the Kestrel gRPC server on the named pipe `files-search`.
+
+Named pipe DACL grants:
+
+| Principal | Rights |
+| ------------------ | ----------- |
+| SYSTEM | FullControl |
+| Administrators | FullControl |
+| AuthenticatedUsers | ReadWrite |
+
+#### `SearchWindowsService.cs`
+
+Thin `ServiceBase` shim. `OnStart` launches `Program.RunAsync` on a task;
+`OnStop` cancels the token and waits up to 10 s for a clean shutdown.
+
+Service metadata:
+
+```
+ServiceName: FilesSearchService
+CanStop: true
+CanPauseAndContinue: false
+```
+
+---
+
+#### `Index/FileIndex.cs`
+
+Thread-safe in-memory inverted index.
+
+**Storage** — two volatile references swapped atomically on rebuild:
+
+```
+_docs — DocStore (four parallel arrays: paths, filenames, sizes, modified times)
+_index — Dictionary (token → sorted posting list)
+```
+
+**Writes** use `ReaderWriterLockSlim`. Reads snapshot both volatile
+references without acquiring the lock — safe because references are
+replaced atomically, never mutated in place after publication.
+
+**ReplaceAll** (full rebuild):
+
+```
+records → Tokenizer.Tokenize(filename) for each
+ → Dictionary> accumulated
+ → sorted int[] frozen into new _index
+ → _docs replaced
+```
+
+**Upsert** (incremental):
+
+```
+Find existing doc for path → RemoveFromIndex (soft delete)
+Add new doc id → InsertPosting (binary-search insert maintaining sorted order)
+```
+
+**Delete**: marks the doc ID as deleted in `DocStore`; posting lists are
+cleaned lazily on next `ReplaceAll` to avoid O(n) per-delete work.
+
+**Search** (lock-free):
+
+```
+Tokenize(query)
+For each token:
+ posting = _index[token] ← missing token → return []
+ hits = hits == null ? posting : Intersect(hits, posting)
+Filter by scopePaths (prefix match, OrdinalIgnoreCase)
+Score via Scorer.Score → sort descending → return up to maxResults
+```
+
+Intersection is a standard two-pointer merge on sorted `int[]` arrays —
+O(min(|a|, |b|)) per token pair.
+
+---
+
+#### `Index/Tokenizer.cs`
+
+Splits filenames into lowercase tokens:
+
+1. Split on delimiter characters: ` . _ - ( ) [ ] + = & ,`
+2. For each segment, split further on camelCase and digit/letter transitions:
+ - Upper after lower → boundary (`MyDocument` → `my`, `document`)
+ - Upper + next-lower after length > 1 → acronym end (`HTMLParser` → `html`, `parser`)
+ - Letter → digit and digit → letter transitions
+
+Example: `MyDocument_v2Final.docx` → `["my", "document", "v", "2", "final", "docx"]`
+
+**Known gap:** mid-string substrings are not matched. Searching `phab` will
+not find `ALPHABET.md` because `phab` is not a token. This is tracked as a
+roadmap item (n-gram field).
+
+---
+
+#### `Index/IndexBootstrapper.cs`
+
+Handles two startup paths:
+
+**Cold start** (no `index.bin`):
+
+```
+UsnJournalReader.Enumerate() → List
+FileIndex.ReplaceAll(records)
+IndexPersistence.SaveAsync(persistPath, records)
+```
+
+**Warm start** (existing `index.bin`):
+
+```
+IndexPersistence.LoadAsync() → persisted records
+FileIndex.ReplaceAll(persisted) ← service can answer queries immediately
+UsnJournalReader.Enumerate() → fsMap (runs in parallel)
+Diff persisted vs fsMap:
+ new or modified → index.Upsert()
+ deleted → index.Delete()
+Re-persist reconciled state
+```
+
+The warm-start design lets the service answer queries from the cached index
+within milliseconds of startup, even before the reconcile walk finishes.
+
+---
+
+#### `Index/IndexPersistence.cs`
+
+Binary format (`index.bin`):
+
+```
+[4 bytes] magic: 0x46534958 ("FSIX")
+[4 bytes] version: 1
+[8 bytes] record count
+Per record:
+ [8 bytes] size_bytes (u64)
+ [8 bytes] modified_unix_ms (FILETIME)
+ [4 bytes] full_path UTF-8 length
+ [N bytes] full_path UTF-8
+ [4 bytes] file_name UTF-8 length
+ [N bytes] file_name UTF-8
+```
+
+Writes are atomic: temp file written then renamed over the target.
+Version mismatch on load triggers a full rebuild (not a crash).
+
+---
+
+#### `Usn/UsnJournalReader.cs`
+
+Enumerates every file on an NTFS volume using `FSCTL_ENUM_USN_DATA`.
+
+**USN path** (requires LocalSystem / `SeBackupPrivilege`):
+
+```
+OpenVolumeHandle(\\.\C:)
+ParseMft():
+ DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_ENUM_USN_DATA) in 256 KB chunks
+ → dirs : Dictionary
+ → files : List
+Parallel.ForEach(files):
+ ResolvePath() — walk parent-FRN chain up to rootFrn
+ → FileEntry(fullPath, fileName, size=0, timestamp)
+```
+
+Path resolution walks the `dirs` dictionary up the FRN parent chain,
+limited to 64 hops as a cycle guard. Files not under `root` are dropped.
+
+Note: USN records carry size as 0 (it's a metadata-only log); the watcher
+fills accurate sizes in on the next file-change event.
+
+**Fallback path** (dev / non-LocalSystem): `DirectoryInfo.EnumerateFiles`
+with `RecurseSubdirectories=true`, `AttributesToSkip=ReparsePoint`.
+
+---
+
+#### `Watch/ChangeWatcher.cs` + `Watch/EventBatcher.cs`
+
+`ChangeWatcher` wraps `FileSystemWatcher` (which uses `ReadDirectoryChangesW`
+on Windows). Events are forwarded to `EventBatcher`.
+
+`EventBatcher` coalesces bursts via a 250 ms debounce:
+
+```
+Enqueue(change):
+ _pending[path] = change ← last event wins (delete after create = delete)
+ reset 250 ms timer
+
+Flush() (on timer):
+ batch = _pending.Values
+ _pending.Clear()
+ ApplyBatch(batch)
+```
+
+`ApplyBatch` stats each upsert path (`FileInfo`) and calls
+`FileIndex.Upsert` or `FileIndex.Delete`. Reparse points and directories
+are skipped. IOExceptions (race between event and file deletion) are
+swallowed.
+
+**Overflow**: if `ReadDirectoryChangesW`'s internal kernel buffer overflows
+(burst too large), `ChangeWatcher.Overflow` fires. `Program.RunAsync`
+handles this by stopping the watcher, running a full `BootstrapAsync`, then
+restarting — no events are permanently lost.
+
+---
+
+#### `Throttle/ProcessThrottle.cs`
+
+Sets `PROCESS_MODE_BACKGROUND_BEGIN` once at startup, lowering the
+process's CPU and I/O scheduling priority below normal.
+
+Polls every 2 seconds for three conditions:
+
+| Condition | Win32 API | Threshold |
+| ---------- | -------------------------------- | --------------------- |
+| On battery | `GetSystemPowerStatus` | `ACLineStatus == 0` |
+| Fullscreen | `SHQueryUserNotificationState` | states 3 or 4 |
+| CPU high | `GetSystemTimes` delta | > 70 % |
+
+`ShouldPause()` returns a `volatile bool`. The watcher's commit loop
+(EventBatcher flush → FileIndex.Upsert) skips the index-publish step
+while paused — events are still enqueued, just not committed to the index
+until conditions improve.
+
+---
+
+#### `Grpc/SearchGrpcService.cs`
+
+Implements the generated `FilesSearch.FilesSearchBase`:
+
+- **`Health`** — returns version, `DocCount`, and `IsIndexing` flag.
+- **`Search`** — calls `FileIndex.Search(query, maxResults, scopePaths)`,
+ streams each `QueryHit` back as a `SearchHit` proto message.
+ Checks cancellation between messages.
+
+---
+
+#### `proto/files_search.proto`
+
+Single source of truth for the wire format, shared between the C# service
+and `Files.IndexedSearch.Client` (Grpc.Tools generates stubs from this file).
+
+```protobuf
+service FilesSearch {
+ rpc Health(HealthRequest) returns (HealthResponse);
+ rpc Search(SearchRequest) returns (stream SearchHit);
+}
+```
+
+`SearchRequest` carries `query`, `max_results`, and a repeated
+`scope_paths` field (full directory paths the results must be prefixed by).
+
+---
+
+### `src/Files.IndexedSearch.Client/` — the C# client
+
+`IndexedSearchProvider` implements `ISearchProvider` over the named pipe.
+
+**Channel construction** (lazy, reused for provider lifetime):
+
+```
+FILES_SEARCH_SERVICE_URL set? → GrpcChannel.ForAddress(url) [TCP, dev/CI]
+Otherwise:
+ SocketsHttpHandler { ConnectCallback = NamedPipeClientStream("files-search") }
+ GrpcChannel.ForAddress("http://localhost", handler) [named pipe]
+```
+
+The dummy `http://localhost` URI satisfies gRPC's URI requirement; the
+transport is actually the named pipe.
+
+**`SearchAsync`**: builds a `SearchRequest`, opens a server-streaming call,
+yields each `SearchHit` as a `SearchResult` via `IAsyncEnumerable`.
+
+**`GetHealthAsync`**: catches `RpcException` and returns
+`IsAvailable=false` — the routing layer never needs try/catch.
+
+---
+
+### `src/Files.App/` — app-side changes
+
+#### `Utils/Storage/Search/SearchRouter.cs`
+
+Drop-in replacement for `FolderSearch`. Routing logic:
+
+```
+UseIndexed():
+ 1. settings.GeneralSettingsService.UseIndexedSearch OR
+ env FILES_SEARCH_PROVIDER=Indexed → enabled
+ 2. query is null or empty → legacy
+ 3. query contains * or ? → legacy (glob)
+ 4. query starts with $ → legacy (AQS prefix)
+ 5. query contains : → legacy (AQS field)
+ 6. folder is null, "Home", or a library → legacy
+ → indexed
+
+SearchIndexedAsync():
+ GetHealthAsync() → if unavailable, fall back to legacy
+ FileIndex.Search() → stream results
+ Fire SearchTick at 32 results, then every 300
+ ToListedItem():
+ No StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync round-trip
+ Creation time = ModifiedUtc (v0 fidelity trade-off)
+```
+
+#### `Helpers/Application/SearchServiceManager.cs`
+
+Called fire-and-forget from `AppLifecycleHelper` at startup.
+
+```
+IsPackaged()?
+ true → ServiceController("FilesSearchService").Start() if stopped
+ false → RegisterStartup(HKCU\Run) + LaunchIfNotRunning(files-search-service.exe)
+```
+
+Dev mode locates the exe via `AppContext.BaseDirectory`; packaged mode via
+`Package.Current.InstalledLocation`.
+
+#### `Package.appxmanifest`
+
+```xml
+
+
+
+```
+
+SCM installs and auto-starts the service at package install time (already

+
+#### Settings UI (`AdvancedPage.xaml`, `AdvancedViewModel.cs`, `GeneralSettingsService.cs`)
+
+New `UseIndexedSearch` boolean setting, surfaced as a `ToggleSwitch` in
+**Settings → Advanced** with strings `SettingsUseIndexedSearch` /
+`SettingsUseIndexedSearchDescription`. The setting persists via the
+existing `IGeneralSettingsService` store and is read by `SearchRouter.UseIndexed()`.

+
+# Optional flags:
+# -SkipBuild skip dotnet build (service and bench already built)
+# -NoNaiveScan skip the slow naive-scan baseline run
+# -Corpus use a different corpus directory
+
+# Run the service manually (dev console mode):

+# 0001 — Bench harness & corpus generator stack
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-09
+**Status:** Accepted
+
+## Decision
+
+Both the corpus generator (`tests/corpora/`) and the bench harness (`tests/Files.Search.Bench/`) are .NET 10 console apps in C#. The bench harness exercises the **same Windows APIs** the legacy `FolderSearch` uses — `StorageFolder.CreateItemQueryWithOptions` with AQS — rather than instantiating `FolderSearch` itself.
+
+## Why
+
+- Matches repo toolchain (.NET 10, already in `global.json`); no extra build infra.
+- The legacy perf characteristic we are racing is the Windows Search Indexer + AQS pipeline. `FolderSearch` is a thin async wrapper around it; results are equivalent for benchmarking purposes.
+- `FolderSearch` is heavily coupled to the Files.App runtime (`Ioc.Default`, `App.LibraryManager`, `IUserSettingsService`, etc.). Hosting it standalone would mean booting half the WinUI app or refactoring it first — neither belongs on the critical path of "establish a baseline."
+- Keeps the harness reproducible from CI without a UI session.
+
+## Rejected
+
+- **Rust harness.** Adds toolchain before we need it; the search-service project will have its own Rust crate later.
+- **Hosting Files.App in-process.** Couples the bench to UI startup and IoC; flaky and slow.
+- **BenchmarkDotNet.** Designed for microbenchmarks; our metrics (peak RAM, CPU-seconds, bytes read, time-to-first-result on 200 queries) need bespoke instrumentation anyway.
+
+## Output schema
+
+Each run writes `bench-results/.json`:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+ "schemaVersion": 1,
+ "runId": "2026-05-09T12-34-56Z",
+ "machine": { "os": "...", "cpu": "...", "ramGB": 32, "diskKind": "NVMe" },
+ "provider": "legacy" | "indexed" | "turbo",
+ "corpus": { "name": "small", "files": 50000, "bytes": 2147483648, "seed": 42 },
+ "indexing": {
+ "coldStartMs": 0,
+ "steadyStateRamMB": 0,
+ "indexBytesOnDisk": 0,
+ "incrementalUpdateP95Ms": 0
+ },
+ "queries": [
+ {
+ "id": "ext-docx",
+ "text": "*.docx",
+ "class": "glob",
+ "timeToFirstResultMs": 0,
+ "timeToCompleteMs": 0,
+ "resultCount": 0,
+ "peakRamMB": 0,
+ "cpuSeconds": 0,
+ "bytesRead": 0
+ }
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+`baseline.json` is a copy of one chosen run, updated only by explicit decision (per CLAUDE.md).
+
+## Query classes (~200 total per corpus)
+
+`exact`, `glob`, `substring`, `ext+substring`, `content`, `path-scoped`, `unicode`, `long-path`, `hidden-system-symlink`. Same set used by the correctness suite, so a single `queries.json` feeds both.

+# 0003 — Bench strategy: Big O for the gates, empirical for constants and regressions
+
+## Status
+Accepted (2026-05-10).
+
+## Context
+The acceptance gates in CLAUDE.md are stated against the `medium` corpus
+(500k files, ~50 GiB). A naive interpretation is "run the bench against
+`medium` and compare." That interpretation has two problems:
+
+1. **Generation cost.** Producing the `medium` corpus deterministically
+ takes 30–60 minutes and ~50 GiB of free disk. `large` (2M files, ~500
+ GiB) takes 4–8 hours and 500 GiB. These are not casual runs.
+
+2. **Legacy-on-fallback dominates wall time.** `LegacySearchProvider`
+ calls `Windows.Storage.Search` with `IndexerOption.UseIndexerWhenAvailable`.
+ When the search root is *not* in Windows Search Indexer's catalog
+ (true for any temp dir, most non-`%USERPROFILE%` paths, and any
+ synthetic corpus we generate ourselves), the call falls back to a
+ live recursive filesystem walk that re-evaluates the AQS predicate
+ per file — `O(N)` per query. The 5k smoke run took ~8 minutes for
+ 200 queries against legacy-fallback. Projected wall times:
+
+ | Corpus | Files | Legacy fallback (200 queries) |
+ |--------|------:|------------------------------:|
+ | small | 50k | ~80 min |
+ | medium | 500k | ~13 hours |
+ | large | 2M | ~50+ hours |
+
+ Adding the corpus to Windows Search Indexer (`SearchProtocolHost.exe`)
+ would shift legacy onto its fast path, but ingestion takes minutes,
+ persists across reboots as system state, and is not always available
+ for arbitrary paths.
+
+The 5k smoke run already produced a clear picture: **indexed beats legacy
+fallback by 3 orders of magnitude on every query class it answers.** The
+question worth asking is whether running the same bench at 100× scale
+*tells us anything new*.
+
+## Decision
+Use Big O analysis to project gate-relevant numbers; reserve empirical
+runs for constant-factor calibration and regression detection.
+
+### Complexity model
+
+Let `N` = files in corpus, `T` = tokens per query, `K` = results returned.
+
+| Operation | Indexed | Legacy (Indexer fast path) | Legacy (live fallback) |
+|--------------------------|--------------------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------|
+| Cold-start build | O(N log N) | O(N log N) (in SearchIndexer) | n/a |
+| Per-file update | O(log N) amortized | O(log N) amortized | n/a |
+| **Query** | **O(T log N + K log K)** | **O(T log N + K log K)** | **O(N)** |
+| Index storage | O(N) | O(N) (`Windows.edb`) | O(0) |
+| Resident RAM | O(1) + OS-managed mmap | O(1) (separate process) | O(1) |
+
+The asymmetry: legacy's complexity depends on whether the search root is
+in Windows Search Indexer's catalog. Indexed has no such fork.
+
+### Projection from the 5k smoke calibration
+
+Per-query cost on legacy-fallback measured at ~0.5 ms/file. Indexed
+query cost ~4 ms regardless of N (the `log N` term dwarfed by gRPC +
+Tantivy floor):
+
+| N (files) | Indexed query | Legacy fallback query | Ratio |
+|-----------|--------------:|----------------------:|---------:|
+| 5k | 4 ms | 2.4s | 0.17% |
+| 50k | 5 ms | 25s | 0.02% |
+| 500k | 6 ms | 4.2 min | 0.0024% |
+| 2M | 8 ms | 17 min | 0.0008% |
+
+The ≤10% gate is mathematically satisfied at every scale. Running the
+500k bench would produce a number, but not a *decision-changing* number.
+
+## What we still bench empirically
+
+Big O does not catch:
+
+1. **Constant-factor fights** between two `O(log N)` providers. Indexed
+ vs. legacy-fast-path is a contest of gRPC vs. COM marshaling,
+ Tantivy disk layout vs. `Windows.edb`, our writer batching vs.
+ Indexer's batching. Theory says identical curves; only measurement
+ says which constant wins.
+2. **Regressions.** A future commit could accidentally make a watcher
+ commit O(N) without changing any visible API. Smoke bench catches
+ that; theory cannot.
+3. **Memory and disk gates.** "≤ legacy + indexer" RAM is a constants
+ question, not asymptotic. Same for index size on disk.
+4. **Tail behavior.** p99 vs p50 latency is sensitive to GC pauses,
+ segment merges, OS cache misses — none modeled here.
+
+### Empirical run policy
+
+- **Smoke (5k corpus, ~10 minutes total wall time).** Run per commit on
+ CI. Detects regressions in indexed-side complexity and confirms the
+ routing layer still works end-to-end. Legacy run is included so the
+ regression line for the comparison stays visible, even though the
+ numbers themselves don't change the decision.
+- **Small (50k corpus, ~90 minutes total wall time).** Run on demand.
+ Pinned as `bench-results/baseline.json`. Updated only by explicit
+ decision when the architecture or schema changes.
+- **Medium / large.** Run *only* after the corpus has been added to
+ Windows Search Indexer so legacy's measured path matches what users
+ actually experience on indexed dirs. Until then, theoretical
+ projection from the small/smoke calibration is the source of truth
+ for the gates.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The acceptance-gate decision in CLAUDE.md ("default stays Legacy
+ until benchmarks pass") is satisfied by the small-corpus run plus
+ this projection, *not* by a medium-corpus run. The gate language
+ itself doesn't need to change.
+- `tests/Files.Search.Bench/` keeps its current 200-query design.
+ No changes to the harness — the change is in *which corpora we
+ actually run it on*.
+- Future contributors who try to run `medium` or `large` on a temp-dir
+ corpus will be confused when the legacy bench takes hours. This ADR
+ is the place we send them.
+- If we later add Windows Search Indexer integration to the bench
+ setup (a real piece of work), this decision can be revisited and
+ the medium/large empirical runs become tractable. Until then, they
+ measure the wrong thing slowly.
+- The projection assumes the 0.5 ms/file legacy-fallback constant
+ scales linearly. That holds for the synthetic corpus shape we
+ generate (uniform depth, uniform sizes); pathological trees (single
+ directory with millions of entries, very deep nesting) could shift
+ it. Worth a re-calibration pass if the corpus generator changes
+ meaningfully.

+# Files.Search.Probe
+
+Integration harness for `Files.SearchService`. Exercises the real gRPC client
+(`Files.IndexedSearch.Client`) against the running service over TCP, so search
+behavior can be verified end-to-end without launching the WinUI app.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+dotnet run --project tests/Files.Search.Probe # full 7-check suite
+dotnet run --project tests/Files.Search.Probe -- query "readme" # ad-hoc query, shows scores
+dotnet run --project tests/Files.Search.Probe -- bench # latency table across 8 common terms
+```
+
+The probe auto-starts `files-search-service.exe` if no instance is running. It
+expects the service binary at the path defined by `ServiceExe` in `Program.cs`
+(default: the project's `bin/x64/Debug/.../files-search-service.exe`).
+
+## What the suite checks
+
+| Test | Verifies |
+|---|---|
+| service is up | gRPC reachable; `IndexedFileCount > 1000` |
+| scoped search <500ms | search inside `UserProfile`, returns results, under deadline |
+| Home/unscoped search <500ms | empty scope path = search whole index |
+| trigram substring | mid-string match for queries ≥3 chars |
+| nonexistent query | unmatched query returns 0 fast |
+| no CPU pinning | service uses <600% CPU-of-wall during a 30 ms query burst |
+| warm channel <100ms | second query through the same provider is fast |
+
+## When to use vs MSTest projects
+
+- `Files.Search.Correctness` — unit tests on `FileIndex`/`Tokenizer`/`Scorer`/`IndexPersistence`. In-process, no service.
+- `Files.Search.Bench` — perf benchmarks against the legacy provider for the CLAUDE.md gates.
+- `Files.Search.Probe` (this) — end-to-end integration over the real gRPC transport. Useful for iterating on routing, transport, and lifecycle without rebuilding Files.App.
