An ephemeral in-memory command output capture and hybrid search engine (BM25 + Semantic Embeddings) for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Antigravity, Cursor, etc.).

## 🎯 The Problem This Solves

When coding agents run commands that generate large outputs (thousands of lines of build logs, test runs, stack traces, JSON dumps), agents face two failure modes:
1. **Context Pollution:** Ingesting megabytes of raw text blows out token limits and degrades model reasoning.
2. **Blind Bash Filtering:** Agents waste multiple turns running `head`, `tail`, `grep`, and `awk` trying to guess error patterns.

## 💡 The Solution

`ephemeral-buffer` provides a transient in-memory ring buffer with **Dual Hybrid Indexing** and **Content-Aware Structure Parsing**:
- **BM25 Lexical Search (SQLite FTS5):** For exact matches on error codes (`NullPointerException`, `ECONNREFUSED`, `exit 137`, HTTP `502`). Builds without SQLite FTS5 use a complete token-based Python fallback with lower ranking performance.
- **Dense Semantic Vector Search (FastEmbed ONNX):** For fuzzy conceptual queries (*"Where did the DB connection pool fail?"* or *"Why did authentication fail?"*).
- **Unified Diff Structural Mapping:** Automatically detects git diffs and PR diffs (`gh pr diff`, `gi…
