Recall issues

Fix missing memories, noisy results, slow recall, and confusing query output.

Recall problems can come from config, content, or expectations.

Symptoms and fixes

Symptom	Likely cause	First action
no candidates	embeddings or views not configured, memory lacks disclosure/glossary	verify setup, then improve the memory
wrong candidates	broad memories or inflated priority	split broad notes and lower priority
Chinese recall is poor	PostgreSQL fell back to `simple` tokenizer	install `pg_jieba` or `zhparser`
recall is slow	too many broad generated views, slow model/db, low timeout	inspect recall analysis and tune limits
agent ignores recall	hook not running or agent did not open nodes	verify runtime hooks and usage tracking
