Sean Ford 0fbd8854c5 fix(api): adapt TEI/Infinity request and response shapes on the /v1/rerank node path (#13733)
* feat(api): route /v1/rerank to remote provider nodes behind RERANK_REMOTE_PROVIDER_NODES

POST /v1/rerank only ever dispatched to provider nodes whose base URL hostname
was localhost, 127.0.0.1, or 172.16.0.0/12 — a filter hardcoded in the route.
A rerank node on any other host (a LAN box or Tailscale peer running TEI,
Infinity, vLLM, …) was silently dropped and the request fell through to
"Invalid rerank model", even though the same node served /v1/embeddings
without complaint and had already passed the provider outbound URL policy at
creation time. The memory engine's rerank step calls this route over loopback,
so `rerankProviderModel` could not reach such a node either.

Mirror the audio routes (#3963): loopback nodes stay always-eligible and
unchanged; remote nodes are opt-in via a new `RERANK_REMOTE_PROVIDER_NODES`
feature flag (default off — routing to a remote host changes egress identity)
AND must pass the provider outbound URL policy (`getProviderOutboundGuard()`,
`public-only` deployments never route to private hosts.

- src/shared/network/loopbackNodeHost.ts: one pure definition of the
  loopback host set, replacing three copies (rerank route, audioRegistry,
  localHealthCheck). The shared version also rejects `user@host` URLs, which
  the audio copy did not.
- src/shared/network/providerNodeHost.ts: policy-aware remote-node
  eligibility that mirrors guardProviderNodeBaseUrl() on the creation path.
- src/app/api/v1/_shared/rerankProviderNodes.ts: pure, testable selection
  step + loader, modelled on audioProviderNodes.ts.
- Feature flag definition, FEATURE_FLAGS.md / ENVIRONMENT.md / .env.example
  rows, API_REFERENCE.md and MEMORY.md notes, changelog fragment.
- tests/unit/rerank-remote-provider-nodes.test.ts covers the host
  classification, the three policy modes, the selection step, and the route
  end-to-end (flag off → 400 without contacting the node; flag on → forwarded
  to <base>/v1/rerank with the node credential; flag on + strict policy →
  still excluded). Feature-flag count test bumped to 56.

* chore(changelog): name the #13732 fragment

* fix(api): adapt TEI/Infinity request and response shapes on the /v1/rerank node path

The provider-node branch of POST /v1/rerank already fell back from
<base>/v1/rerank to <base>/rerank on 404 "for Infinity / TEI", but it kept
sending the Cohere body and returned the upstream JSON verbatim. Against
Hugging Face text-embeddings-inference that could never work: TEI requires
the candidate list as `texts` (HTTP 422 otherwise), takes `return_text`,
and answers a bare `[{index, score, text?}]` with no `results` envelope and
`score` instead of `relevance_score`. Thin gateways in front of TEI/Infinity
commonly emit `score` too. Either way the memory engine's applyRerank(),
which reads `results[].relevance_score`, ended up with undefined scores.

Add two pure adapters in src/app/api/v1/_shared/rerankLocalNodeShapes.ts:

- buildLocalRerankRequestBody(): one upstream body carrying both spellings
  (`documents` + `texts`, `return_documents` + `return_text`). TEI's request
  struct is not deny_unknown_fields and the OpenAI-shaped servers (vLLM,
  llama.cpp, Infinity, oMLX) ignore extras, so a single body serves all.
- normalizeLocalRerankResponse(): folds `{results:[…]}`, Voyage-style
  `{data:[…]}`, and TEI's bare array into the Cohere envelope, backfilling
  `relevance_score` from `score`, sorting by score, honouring `top_n`,
  attaching `document.text` when requested, dropping malformed entries, and
  preserving other top-level fields (`model`, `usage`, …).

The route now uses both on the primary and fallback fetch. Cloud registry
providers are untouched (they go through open-sse/handlers/rerank.ts).

tests/unit/rerank-local-node-shapes.test.ts covers the adapters and the
route end-to-end: 404 → /rerank with `texts`, bare TEI array normalized and
top_n-capped; `score`-only gateway → `relevance_score` for the client.

* chore(changelog): name the #13733 fragment

* refactor(api): split the local rerank response normalizer into per-entry helpers

The complexity ratchet (new-code mode) flagged normalizeLocalRerankResponse
at 18/15 on both metrics. Pull the per-entry validation and the document
resolution into toCohereResult() / resolveResultDocument(); behaviour and
tests are unchanged.
