dlightrag 1.5.15

Multimodal RAG with knowledge graph and contextual intelligence

DlightRAG

DlightRAG is a multimodal RAG service built on LightRAG main. LightRAG owns document parsing, staged ingest, chunks, document status, vectors, and the knowledge graph. DlightRAG adds product-layer metadata governance, PostgreSQL BM25, direct image-vector alignment, answer orchestration, citations, REST, Web, SDK, and MCP interfaces.

Status: Python 3.12. Storage: PostgreSQL 18 with pgvector, Apache AGE, pg_textsearch, and pg_jieba. License: Apache-2.0.

Quick Start

Start by choosing the topology. The model, parser, and database decisions are different for local development and cloud deployment.

Mode	Use this when	PostgreSQL	MinerU parser endpoint	Auth
Local	Developer machine, Web UI, smoke tests	Docker Compose PG18	Native host sidecar on macOS/M4, or any reachable MinerU API/router	none on loopback; simple if exposed
Cloud	Shared service, remote users, agents	Managed or self-hosted PG18	MinerU official API, or an independent GPU/API service	simple or jwt

Do not install MinerU into the DlightRAG app container. DlightRAG consumes the MinerU-compatible HTTP endpoint that LightRAG expects. On macOS this should be a native host process so MLX/MPS acceleration is available. On Linux GPU, run MinerU as an independent service/router or use the official API.

Local Setup

1. Clone the repo and create a secrets file:

git clone https://github.com/hanlianlu/dlightrag.git
cd dlightrag
cp .env.example .env

Fill only secrets and deployment-only overrides in .env:

DLIGHTRAG_LLM__DEFAULT__API_KEY=...
DLIGHTRAG_EMBEDDING__API_KEY=...
DLIGHTRAG_LLM__ROLES__EXTRACT__API_KEY=...
DLIGHTRAG_LLM__ROLES__KEYWORD__API_KEY=...

Normal behavior lives in config.yaml: model names, parser sidecar settings, metadata schema, retrieval breadth, auth mode, Langfuse behavior, and deployment endpoints. Rare PostgreSQL and retrieval tuning belongs in docs/PG.md and docs/config-reference.md.

2. Install and start a native MinerU sidecar if one is not already running.

MinerU is intentionally a native sidecar in local development. Docker Compose does not run MinerU; it runs DlightRAG, MCP, and PostgreSQL, then connects the DlightRAG containers back to the host-native MinerU endpoint.

Create MinerU's own env file and install the dedicated MinerU virtual environment once:

cp .env.mineru.example .env.mineru
make mineru-install

This creates .venv-mineru so MinerU's ML dependencies stay out of the DlightRAG runtime. Re-run make mineru-install only when upgrading MinerU or changing .env.mineru package extras such as MINERU_INSTALL_EXTRAS.

Choose MINERU_INSTALL_EXTRAS in .env.mineru for the local machine:

• Apple Silicon local development: core,mlx
• Linux or WSL CPU fallback: core
• Linux GPU service, when supported by the target MinerU release: core,vllm or core,lmdeploy

For a foreground process on macOS, Linux, or WSL, run:

make mineru-api

make mineru-api blocks in the current terminal and serves http://127.0.0.1:8210 by default.

DlightRAG does not manage the MinerU process. If you want it to run in the background, use your OS process manager or an independent MinerU API/router. On native Windows, install MinerU with its official Python package and point parser_sidecars.mineru.local_endpoint at the mineru-api endpoint you start.

Endpoint alignment:

• Native MinerU listens on MINERU_API_HOST:MINERU_API_PORT from .env.mineru, defaulting to http://127.0.0.1:8210.
• config.yaml defaults parser_sidecars.mineru.local_endpoint to http://127.0.0.1:8210.
• Docker Compose maps that host-native endpoint into DlightRAG containers as http://host.docker.internal:8210 through MINERU_DOCKER_LOCAL_ENDPOINT. Override that value in .env only if the DlightRAG containers must reach a different externally managed MinerU endpoint.

3. Start DlightRAG and PostgreSQL:

docker compose up -d
docker compose ps
curl http://localhost:8100/health

This starts:

Service	Purpose	Host port
dlightrag-api	REST API + Web UI	127.0.0.1:8100
dlightrag-mcp	MCP streamable HTTP server	127.0.0.1:8101
lightrag-gui	Upstream LightRAG graph browser	127.0.0.1:9621
postgres	PG18 + pgvector + AGE + pg_textsearch + pg_jieba	5432

When dlightrag-api runs in Docker and MinerU runs as a native host process, Compose maps MINERU_LOCAL_ENDPOINT inside the app container to http://host.docker.internal:8210. Override MINERU_DOCKER_LOCAL_ENDPOINT only when the app container must reach a different host-native endpoint.

4. Open the Web UI:

http://localhost:8100/web/

Upload documents or images from the Files panel, then ask a question. Web uploads are staged under DlightRAG's managed working_dir/inputs/<workspace>/ tree, which is also the root LightRAG parser workers can see.

Cloud Setup

Cloud deployments should make the parser and database endpoints explicit.

1. Provide PostgreSQL 18 with:

• pgvector
• Apache AGE
• pg_textsearch
• pg_jieba
• shared_preload_libraries=age,pg_textsearch,pg_jieba

Use docs/PG.md for extension, SSL, pool, HNSW, and sizing notes.

2. Choose one MinerU mode in config.yaml.

For the MinerU official API:

parser_sidecars:
  mineru:
    api_mode: official
    official_endpoint: https://mineru.net
    language: ch

DLIGHTRAG_PARSER_SIDECARS__MINERU__API_TOKEN=...

For an independent MinerU API/router service:

parser_sidecars:
  mineru:
    api_mode: local
    local_endpoint: https://your-mineru-service.company.internal
    language: ch

The setting name local_endpoint follows LightRAG/MinerU's local-protocol environment contract. The endpoint can still be remote from the DlightRAG container as long as it exposes the compatible MinerU HTTP API. language is MinerU's OCR hint, not the LightRAG KG extraction language. DlightRAG does not enable MinerU-side image/chart analysis by default; LightRAG's own multimodal analyze stage handles images, tables, and equations after parse.

3. Enable auth before exposing REST or MCP:

DLIGHTRAG_AUTH_MODE=simple
DLIGHTRAG_API_AUTH_TOKEN=<openssl-rand-base64-32>

or:

DLIGHTRAG_AUTH_MODE=jwt
DLIGHTRAG_JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY=<openssl-rand-base64-64>
DLIGHTRAG_JWT_ALGORITHM=HS256

When auth is enabled, set explicit CORS origins in config.yaml rather than using ["*"].

4. Configure model credentials and PostgreSQL secrets through the deployment secret store. Keep non-secret behavior in config.yaml so it can be reviewed and versioned.

Native API

Use this when DlightRAG runs outside Docker while PostgreSQL stays in Docker:

docker compose up -d postgres
uv sync
uv run dlightrag-api

Native runs can ingest host paths directly because the API process sees the same filesystem as your shell.

First API Calls

For remote clients, prefer Web upload or POST /ingest/blob; uploaded files are staged under working_dir/inputs/<workspace>/ and processed through the local pipeline. JSON/MCP source_type="local" accepts paths relative to that managed workspace input directory. REST/MCP ingest requests return an ingest job; poll the job endpoint for completion.

curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/ingest \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"source_type": "local", "path": "report.pdf"}'

curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/ingest \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"source_type": "url", "url": "https://cdn.example.com/download?id=asset-1&signature=secret", "filename": "asset.pdf", "source_uri": "bynder://asset/asset-1"}'

curl http://localhost:8100/ingest/jobs/<job_id>

curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/retrieve \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "What are the key findings?"}'

curl -X POST http://localhost:8100/answer \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "What are the key findings?", "stream": false}'

S3, Azure Blob, batch URL, SDK connector, request, and response details are in docs/response-schema.md.

Python SDK

uv add dlightrag

import asyncio
import os

from dlightrag import IngestSpec, RAGServiceManager
from dlightrag.config import DlightragConfig, EmbeddingConfig, LLMConfig, ModelConfig


async def main() -> None:
    workspace = "research_notes"
    config = DlightragConfig(
        workspace=workspace,
        working_dir="./dlightrag_storage/sdk_demo",
        llm=LLMConfig(
            default=ModelConfig(
                provider="openai",
                model="gpt-4.1-mini",
                api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
                temperature=0.2,
            )
        ),
        embedding=EmbeddingConfig(
            provider="openai_compatible",
            model="text-embedding-3-large",
            api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"],
            base_url="https://api.openai.com/v1",
            dim=3072,
        ),
    )
    manager = await RAGServiceManager.create(config)
    try:
        await manager.aingest(
            workspace,
            IngestSpec(source_type="local", path="./docs"),
        )

        answer = await manager.aanswer("What are the key findings?", workspace=workspace)
        print(answer.answer)
    finally:
        await manager.close()

asyncio.run(main())

config.yaml is optional for SDK users; constructor values take precedence. S3, Azure Blob, URL, REST, MCP, and custom connector payloads are covered in docs/response-schema.md.

MCP Server

Use stdio when an agent starts DlightRAG as a subprocess:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dlightrag": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["dlightrag-mcp", "--env-file", "/absolute/path/to/.env"]
    }
  }
}

Use streamable HTTP when multiple clients connect to a running service:

DLIGHTRAG_MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http \
DLIGHTRAG_MCP_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
dlightrag-mcp

The HTTP transport exposes a single MCP endpoint at /mcp. DlightRAG does not serve the deprecated HTTP+SSE /sse + /messages transport. Streamable HTTP uses JSON responses by default, enables MCP Host/Origin DNS-rebinding protection, and allows only loopback hosts/origins unless DLIGHTRAG_MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS and DLIGHTRAG_MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS are set for a trusted remote deployment.

MCP tools: retrieve, answer, ingest, ingest_job_status, list_files, delete_files, list_workspaces, create_workspace, and delete_workspace.

Architecture

_{Source: docs/architecture.drawio and docs/module-layers.md.}

Runtime Responsibilities

Clients
  -> REST / Web / MCP / SDK adapters
  -> RAGServiceManager
       workspace routing, user scope, federation, read-after-write barriers
  -> RAGService
       one workspace runtime, ingest, retrieve, answer, reset
  -> LightRAG main
       parser routing, staged ingest, chunks, doc status, KG, vectors
  -> DlightRAG PostgreSQL stores
       metadata index, BM25 indexes, workspace and role metadata

LightRAG remains the core RAG engine. DlightRAG does not reimplement parser sidecars, document status, KG extraction, or LightRAG mix retrieval.

Ingestion Flow

source file or upload
  -> DlightRAG metadata normalization
  -> LightRAG parser routing
       DOCX native route by default
       MinerU route for PDFs, Office files, images, tables, and equations
  -> LightRAG staged ingest
       chunks, multimodal semantic text, KG entities/relations, vector rows
  -> DlightRAG post-ingest alignment
       active direct image embedding overwrites the canonical LightRAG drawing chunk vector
       chunk language labels update BM25 partial indexes
       declared metadata updates filterable columns

Source images and parser-extracted images both go through LightRAG's multimodal path. DlightRAG does not create a second VLM description chunk. When the configured embedding provider supports image inputs and the startup probe succeeds, DlightRAG aligns the existing canonical LightRAG visual chunk with a raw image embedding so visual retrieval, citations, and asset serving use the same chunk id. With a text-only embedding model, this alignment is skipped and LightRAG's semantic visual chunk remains the complete multimodal ingestion path.

Retrieval And Answer Flow

query
  -> query planning and optional metadata filter inference
  -> strict metadata in-filtering when filters are explicit
  -> LightRAG mix retrieval
  -> direct query-image retrieval when image embedding is active
  -> pg_textsearch BM25 over the same candidate scope
  -> RRF fusion
  -> rerank
  -> answer packing with citations and bounded images

DlightRAG always uses LightRAG mix as the base retrieval mode. The DlightRAG hybrid layer is separate from LightRAG's hybrid query mode.

PostgreSQL Topology

DlightRAG has one application-level PostgreSQL endpoint. REST, Web, MCP, and SDK surfaces all use the same configured write-capable endpoint, and LightRAG's normal staged pipeline supports ingest and query in the same service process.

If production infrastructure uses managed read replicas, keep that routing in the PostgreSQL/proxy/platform layer and expose the endpoint that DlightRAG should use. DlightRAG does not carry a separate query runtime role, replica credentials, or read-after-write policy. That keeps application behavior identical across local, Docker, and cloud deployments.

Configuration

Configuration uses typed settings in config.yaml and secrets or deployment-only overrides in .env. The checked-in config is intentionally curated: it keeps product and deployment choices visible while leaving rare tuning to code defaults and docs/config-reference.md.

Priority:

constructor args > environment variables > .env > config.yaml > defaults

DlightRAG-owned environment variables use the DLIGHTRAG_ prefix. Double underscores address nested objects:

DLIGHTRAG_LLM__DEFAULT__API_KEY=...
DLIGHTRAG_EMBEDDING__API_KEY=...
DLIGHTRAG_RERANK__API_KEY=...

Parser Routing And Sidecars

DlightRAG defaults to LightRAG native parsing for DOCX, Markdown, and textpack bundles, and a MinerU-compatible external parser endpoint for other supported document formats. Parser routing is a product default, not a normal user-facing setting. DlightRAG exposes the sidecar endpoint and visual context controls needed for local/cloud deployment.

Important parser settings:

Setting	Default	Meaning
parser_sidecars.vlm.surrounding_leading_max_tokens	128	Leading page context sent to VLM analysis
parser_sidecars.vlm.surrounding_trailing_max_tokens	128	Trailing page context sent to VLM analysis
parser_sidecars.mineru.api_mode	local	Uses a MinerU-compatible API endpoint instead of the official API
parser_sidecars.mineru.local_endpoint	http://127.0.0.1:8210	Native local sidecar endpoint for local development
parser_sidecars.mineru.language	ch	MinerU OCR language hint for scanned/image documents
parser_sidecars.mineru.auxiliary_block_policy	conservative	Drop discarded blocks, headers, footers, and printed page numbers

conservative keeps ambiguous notes such as aside_text, margin_note, and page_footnote. Set extended only when those should also be removed before LightRAG chunking.

Models And Roles

LLM role names follow LightRAG:

Role	What it drives
extract	Entity and relationship extraction during ingest
keyword	LightRAG retrieval keyword extraction
query	Query planning and answer generation
vlm	Visual analysis for images, tables, equations, and drawings

Unset roles fall back to llm.default. The checked-in defaults use role-specific extract and keyword models and let query / vlm fall back to the default multimodal LLM.

Concurrency defaults:

Setting	Default	Scope
max_async	8	Shared LLM role queues and DlightRAG planner/answer calls
embedding_func_max_async	16	Embedding queue concurrency
max_parallel_insert	3	LightRAG staged insert workers
max_parallel_parse_native	5	Native parser workers
max_parallel_parse_mineru	2	External parser workers for the MinerU-compatible route
max_parallel_analyze	5	VLM analyze workers

Embeddings

DlightRAG defaults to a unified multimodal embedding model so text chunks, query text, query images, source images, and parser-extracted images share one vector space.

Default:

embedding:
  provider: voyage
  model: voyage-multimodal-3.5
  dim: 1024
  asymmetric: auto

Supported providers include voyage, dashscope_qwen, qwen_openai_compatible, gemini, jina, openai_compatible, and ollama. Generic openai_compatible is treated as text-only because there is no standard image embedding payload for that API family; use qwen_openai_compatible only for an explicitly image-capable Qwen3-VL embedding server; model names starting with qwen3-vl-embedding on non-DashScope base_urls are auto-routed there. If the configured provider is text-only, or if startup_probe cannot embed a small in-memory image with the provider-specific payload, DlightRAG automatically disables direct image embedding and leaves image handling to LightRAG's VLM semantic chunks. The startup probe does not write to PostgreSQL, LightRAG storage, or local files. Changing embedding.dim or the embedding model after indexing requires clearing the workspace and rebuilding vector indexes.

Metadata

Metadata is explicit-schema first:

• Declare filterable custom fields once in metadata.fields.
• REST, MCP, and SDK ingest calls pass metadata values, not schema declarations.
• Declared fields are normalized and promoted to filterable columns.
• Undeclared metadata can be stored as JSONB enrichment when allow_ad_hoc_json: true, but it is not filterable.
• Explicit API/user filters are strict and never fall back to global retrieval.
• LLM-inferred filters can fall back to unfiltered retrieval when they over-infer and match no candidates.

Example:

metadata:
  allow_ad_hoc_json: true
  default_ingest_policy: validate
  fields:
    department:
      type: string
      filter_ops: ["exact"]

See docs/response-schema.md.

BM25

BM25 uses DlightRAG-managed pg_textsearch indexes over LightRAG's document chunks. Ingest labels each chunk with dlightrag_bm25_language. Query-time language detection selects one matching partial index; unsupported or ambiguous queries use the simple fallback.

Checked-in profiles:

Language	Text config
Chinese	public.jiebacfg from pg_jieba
English	english
German	german
Swedish	swedish
Spanish	spanish
French	french
Italian	italian
Portuguese	portuguese
Dutch	dutch
Russian	russian
Danish	danish
Finnish	finnish
Fallback	simple

Each non-fallback BM25 profile maps to exactly one language. The fallback profile must not declare languages.

Storage

DlightRAG's supported core storage stack is PostgreSQL 18:

Component	Backend
Vector store	PGVectorStorage with pgvector
Graph store	PGGraphStorage with Apache AGE
KV store	PGKVStorage
Document status	PGDocStatusStorage
BM25	pg_textsearch

Default vector indexing uses HNSW over HALFVEC(dim). Plain HNSW over VECTOR(dim), pg_hnsw_*, pool sizing, statement-cache, retry, and session-GUC overrides are advanced deployment settings, documented in docs/PG.md and docs/config-reference.md. Server-level memory, WAL, preload library, and shared-memory settings belong to the PostgreSQL deployment or docker-compose.yml.

Auth

Modes:

Mode	Use case
none	Local loopback development only
simple	Shared bearer token
jwt	User-scoped deployments with signed tokens

Simple token:

openssl rand -base64 32
DLIGHTRAG_AUTH_MODE=simple
DLIGHTRAG_API_AUTH_TOKEN=<generated>

JWT:

openssl rand -base64 64
DLIGHTRAG_AUTH_MODE=jwt
DLIGHTRAG_JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY=<generated>
DLIGHTRAG_JWT_ALGORITHM=HS256

Clients send Authorization: Bearer <token>. JWT tokens must include sub, which becomes the authenticated user_id. For RS*/ES* algorithms, DLIGHTRAG_JWT_VERIFICATION_KEY must be the issuer's public key PEM.

Rerank And Answer Breadth

Reranking happens before answer-context packing. Root config exposes the high-signal breadth controls:

Setting	Default
chunk_top_k	30
answer.context_top_k	30
answer.max_images	6
answer.max_user_images	3

Image compression budgets are advanced transport limits; see docs/config-reference.md. /retrieve and /answer both accept chunk_top_k for retrieval candidates. /answer then returns contexts and sources aligned with what the answer model saw.

Citations

Citation validation is always part of answer finalization. Web source-panel semantic highlights are enabled by default and run after answer generation with the keyword LLM role, bounded by timeout/concurrency settings. SDK, REST, and MCP answer clients default to no highlights, but can pass semantic_highlights=True in Python or semantic_highlights: true in JSON to fill sources[].chunks[].highlight_phrases when highlight enrichment is enabled.

Langfuse

Langfuse tracing is optional. If both keys are absent, tracing is a no-op.

DLIGHTRAG_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY=pk-...
DLIGHTRAG_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY=sk-...

Set non-secret behavior in config.yaml: langfuse_host, langfuse_environment, langfuse_release, langfuse_sample_rate, langfuse_timeout, langfuse_flush_at, langfuse_flush_interval, and langfuse_export_external_spans.

Local self-hosted helper:

make langfuse-up
make langfuse-health
make langfuse-logs
make langfuse-down

API Surface

Method	Endpoint	Description
POST	/ingest	Ingest managed workspace-local paths, Azure Blob, AWS S3, or public/signed HTTPS URL content; returns an ingest job
GET	/ingest/jobs/{job_id}	Return ingest job status
POST	/ingest/blob	Upload one file via multipart form and return an ingest job
POST	/retrieve	Return contexts and sources without answer generation
POST	/answer	Return or stream an LLM answer with contexts and sources
GET	/files	List ingested documents
DELETE	/files	Delete documents; pass dry_run: true to preview matches
GET	/files/failed	List documents stuck in DocStatus.FAILED
POST	/files/retry	Retry failed documents
GET	/api/files/{file_path}	Serve local source files or redirect Azure Blob, S3, or HTTPS sources
GET	/metadata/{doc_id}	Read document metadata
POST	/metadata/{doc_id}	Merge or replace document metadata
POST	/metadata/search	Find document IDs matching metadata filters
GET	/images/{workspace}/{chunk_id}	Serve full or thumbnail visual assets
POST	/reset	Reset workspace storage
GET	/workspaces	List registered workspaces
POST	/workspaces	Create an empty workspace
DELETE	/workspaces/{workspace}	Delete/reset one workspace
GET	/health	Health and storage status

Ingest jobs are durable. If the DlightRAG process restarts, recent queued/running jobs are recovered automatically; remote prefix jobs resume from the next unfinished source window, while LightRAG's document status handles document-level skips for already processed content. Remote source files are transient by default. Set retain_remote_source_files: true globally, or pass retain_source_file: true on one SDK/REST/MCP ingest call, to keep fetched files in the workspace input root and store that workspace-local path as metadata file_path.

Workspace-scoped read/write endpoints accept optional workspace. Workspace lifecycle endpoints name the workspace explicitly. Query endpoints accept workspaces for federated search. /answer streams by default; pass stream: false for a single JSON response.

Operations

Use dlightrag-rebuild-vdb for offline LightRAG vector storage maintenance. It checks or rebuilds existing graph/chunk vector rows; it does not ingest files or re-run parsers.

uv run dlightrag-rebuild-vdb --target check
uv run dlightrag-rebuild-vdb --target all --yes

Run destructive targets only after stopping DlightRAG API, MCP, ingest workers, and any other writer using the same storage. Chunk rebuilds automatically refresh BM25 chunk language labels and restore DlightRAG's sidecar image-vector alignment unless explicitly disabled. Full target descriptions, Docker Compose usage, and safety notes are in docs/operations.md.

Development

git clone https://github.com/hanlianlu/dlightrag.git
cd dlightrag
cp .env.example .env
uv sync
cd frontend && npm ci && cd ..
make hooks   # install pre-commit checks (one-time)

Frontend packages use package.json ranges and package-lock.json for the actual pinned resolution. Use npm ci for normal installs and CI. Use npm install only when intentionally updating the lockfile.

The Web UI is built with Vite and served from src/dlightrag/web/static. After editing files under frontend/, rebuild and check the bundle:

cd frontend
npm run typecheck
npm run build
npm run lint:css

If HTMX is upgraded, refresh the vendored browser file after npm install:

cp node_modules/htmx.org/dist/htmx.min.js ../src/dlightrag/web/static/vendor/htmx.min.js

Pre-commit hooks run ruff, pyright, and architecture checks on every git commit. Slow checks (pytest, E2E) stay in CI — run them explicitly when you want them:

make ci          # lint + type-check + architecture + unit tests
make ci-full     # above + integration tests (needs PostgreSQL)
make ci-e2e      # above + E2E smoke (needs PG18 with AGE)

Opt-in PG18 E2E smoke (requires a running postgres from the stack):

docker compose up -d postgres
DLIGHTRAG_RUN_E2E_PG18=1 uv run pytest tests/e2e -m e2e_pg18 -q

The E2E smoke expects PostgreSQL 18 with pgvector, Apache AGE, pg_textsearch, and pg_jieba installed. It uses deterministic fake model functions by default.

RAGAS Evaluation

DlightRAG reuses LightRAG's built-in RAGAS evaluation framework. The adapter auto-resolves API credentials and URL from DlightRAG's own config — no extra .env entries needed.

# One-time: install eval dependencies
uv pip install ragas

# Run against your own test dataset
uv run python scripts/ragas_eval.py --dataset my_questions.json

# Or via the unified CLI
uv run python scripts/cli.py ragas_eval --dataset my_questions.json

Four RAGAS metrics are scored per test case (Faithfulness, AnswerRelevancy, ContextRecall, ContextPrecision) and saved as CSV/JSON in ./ragas_eval_results/. Dataset format, eval model configuration, CI integration, and architecture notes are in docs/ragas-evaluation.md.
