Function: entityCandidates()

entityCandidates(query): readonly string[]

Defined in: backend/src/knowledge/graph-retrieval.ts:85

Every phrase in the query that could name an entity, normalised and deduplicated.

Longest first, which matters for ranking rather than correctness: "retry budget policy" is a more specific match than "retry budget", and a caller that stops early should see the specific one.

Exported for its own test — this is the function that decides whether a real question finds anything, and its failure mode is silent (an empty result that looks like an empty corpus).

Parameters

query

string

Returns

readonly string[]
