The eval set under brain/eval/qa-2026-05.md showed BM25 top-1 at 20% with 5 of the missing slugs being short focused knowledge entries that lost to long aggregate docs on raw term-frequency. Tier weighting addresses that without touching the BM25 algorithm itself. How - Result struct gains a Tier field, populated during the file walk via extractTier (frontmatter wins, path prefix as fallback — mirrors the graph.inferTierFromPath logic so the two callers stay in lockstep). - After the existing sort (and optional hybridMerge), do a final stable re-sort by float64(Score) * tierWeight(Tier). Knowledge ×1.5, note ×1.0, inbox ×0.3, unknown ×1.0. - hydrate() (vector-only hits) also fills Tier so re-ranking covers the hybrid path. Test covers the load-bearing case: a long note-tier doc with raw=10 loses to a short knowledge-tier doc with raw=8 after weighting (8×1.5=12 vs 10×1.0=10). Measurement gate is in infra#72: re-run brain/eval/score.py against the live brain after this image lands; close the issue when top-1 hit rate lifts by ≥10 absolute points.
