I added a reranker to my RAG pipeline — it broke everything, then I fixed it

In

uv sync

cp .env.example .env   # set your API key

uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Open http://localhost:8000/docs, upload the sample PDF, and try "Who is the CEO?" — it still works, even with the reranker.

If you've hit similar issues with cross-encoders on structured content, I'd love to hear your approach.
