Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(docs): enhance search with TF-IDF relevance ranking
 (#40)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add relevance ranking toggle to existing Pagefind search (Ctrl+K)
- When enabled: re-ranks results using TF-IDF cosine similarity with title/heading boost
- Toggle persists in localStorage, off by default
- Build-time index: chunks ~108 markdown files for relevance scoring
- 9 search quality tests (schema, coverage, relevance, data quality)
- Zero new dependencies — pure JS scoring enhancement

Relates to #40

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(ci): build search index before running tests

The docs-search.test.ts requires docs/dist/search-index.json which is
generated by the docs build. Add a lightweight CI step that runs the
search index generator script and copies the output to docs/dist/
where the tests expect it. This avoids a full Astro build while still
providing the artifact needed for search index validation tests.
