Extends the shelve pipeline to cover spreadsheets, closing the Excel gap called out in the PR's original "known gaps" list — Windchill/DocPortal corpora commonly include parts lists and spec sheets as spreadsheets, not just prose documents. - scripts/shelve_xlsx.py — openpyxl, chunked by sheet with row-window splitting for large sheets (header row repeated in every window so each chunk stays self-describing for retrieval). - scripts/shelve_ods.py — same chunking strategy via odfpy (already a dependency from ODT support), OpenDocumentSpreadsheet's Table/TableRow/ TableCell. - scripts/shelve_numbers.py — converts via headless LibreOffice to XLSX and delegates to shelve_xlsx, mirroring shelve_pages.py's pattern for .pages. Adds libreoffice-calc to the Docker image alongside the existing libreoffice-writer. - Upload button text changed from an ever-growing format list to "Upload Document or Spreadsheet" — the Supported Formats table in README/docs is now the source of truth for the full list. - 13 new tests (XLSX, ODS, Numbers); full suite (85 tests) passing. Manually verified via Playwright against an isolated test instance: XLSX and ODS both upload, shelve to "ready", and store correctly row-serialized, header-repeated chunks (confirmed via sample-chunks). BM25 search against a 2-chunk toy corpus returned no hits for terms split 1-vs-1 across the two chunks — traced to Okapi BM25's IDF formula giving an exact 0 for terms in exactly half a tiny corpus (log((N-n+0.5)/(n+0.5)) = log(1.0) = 0, filtered by `score <= 0`), not a defect in the new shelvers. The earlier DOCX/ODT/PDF Playwright pass (5 chunks total) diluted this enough to return real results.

## Retrieval
|
|
|
|
Hybrid search merges BM25 and semantic results with a 50/50 score blend:
|
|
|
|
1. BM25 queries the in-process index (no round-trip to DB)
|
|
2. Semantic query embeds the user query via Ollama, fetches `top_k * 20` nearest vectors, filters by `doc_id` in Python
|
|
3. Hits are merged: BM25 scores and vector scores combined; BM25 hits take priority
|
|
4. Top `k` results are ranked, then adjacent pages (page ± 1) are fetched to restore context for mid-sentence chunk boundaries
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
| File | Format | Contents |
|
|
|------|--------|---------|
|
|
| `pagepiper.db` | SQLite | `documents`, `page_chunks`, `chat_feedback` |
|
|
| `pagepiper_vecs.db` | sqlite-vec | `page_vecs` virtual table + `page_vecs_meta` |
|
|
|
|
The vector database stores one row per page chunk. If the embedding model changes, Pagepiper detects the dimension mismatch at startup (reads `CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE` DDL from `sqlite_master`), deletes the vec DB, and queues a background re-embed.
