+Retrieval reuses what Cowork already owns rather than adding a vector store,
+an embedding pipeline, or a new RAG framework:
+
+* core.projects already defines a project's *knowledge* as the files at its
+  workspace root, and already confines one project's agent to that folder.
+  That same folder is the only corpus this provider will ever read, which is
+  what makes project isolation structural instead of a filter applied later.
+* core.doc_extract.extract_text already turns docx/pptx/xlsx/pdf/text into
+  plain text for prompt building, so this provider inherits format support.
+
+Ranking is a bounded lexical (term-overlap) scan over those files. It is a
+deliberate floor, not a claim of semantic search -- see the ponytail note on
+_score_chunk.
+
+Target and access resolution stay separate here, exactly as in the issue
+provider, so a pilot workspace root can later become a served knowledge base
+without changing the tool or the provider contract.
