+/**
+ * Nightly match-generation workflow — the scoring engine v1 (Stage 2).
+ *
+ * For every candidate org (NH, good standing, primary ICP):
+ *   1. Ensure a profile embedding exists (v0: NTEE-derived mission text
+ *      embedded as RETRIEVAL_QUERY; the Stage 4 research profiler upgrades
+ *      the row later without this workflow changing).
+ *   2. Retrieve top-K open grants by cosine similarity, SQL-gated on the
+ *      cheap hard constraints (deadline runway, award floor).
+ *   3. Run the remaining hard gates in TS (entity eligibility, geography)
+ *      and the deterministic subscores; upsert one match row per pair.
+ *   4. Reassign the org's hero match.
+ *
+ * The `application_form_supported` gate is deliberately EXCLUDED from
+ * pass/fail (2026-07-16 decision: manual-first launch — draftability is
+ * verified by hand for the top leads; no grant has the flag set yet, so
+ * enforcing it would zero out every match). Its failure still lands in
+ * `rationale.gateFailures` so the review queue can show it, and the gate
+ * re-arms by simply removing it from IGNORED_GATES once solicitation
+ * support data flows in.
+ *
+ * Runs at 05:15, after embeddings (04:15) and alongside-safe with
+ * enrichment (05:00) — a not-yet-enriched org simply isn't a candidate.

+# Scoring engine v1 (Stage 2)
+
+Nightly `matchGrants` workflow (05:15 UTC, after embeddings) — the plan's "SQL gates, vectors rank" hybrid.
+
+## Flow, per candidate org (NH + good standing + primary ICP)
+
+1. **Profile embedding** — v0 stub: NTEE-derived mission text (`buildOrgMissionText`) embedded as `RETRIEVAL_QUERY`, stored in `org_profiles` at confidence 0.2. The Stage 4 research profiler upgrades the row in place; this workflow doesn't change.
+2. **Retrieval** — `serverListEligibleGrantsForOrg`: one SQL statement enforcing the cheap hard gates (status open, embedded, deadline ≥ 21 days, ceiling ≥ $10K) with pgvector cosine ranking; top 50 per org.
+3. **Remaining gates in TS** — entity eligibility (`entryAdmitsEntity`: conservative pattern matching over Grants.gov applicantTypes prose; ambiguous entries do NOT admit) and geography (word-boundary state code + full state name). `application_form_supported` is **deliberately ignored** for pass/fail (2026-07-16 manual-first decision — draftability verified by hand for top leads); its failure still lands in `rationale.gateFailures`. Failed pairs are not stored.
+4. **Deterministic subscores** (`scoreMatch`, pure, tested): mission fit 30 (similarity 0.45–0.75 → 0–30) · capacity 15 (award 10–75% of revenue = sweet spot) · competition 15 (state-restricted ≫ national) · effort 10 · runway 5 (3–10 weeks ideal). **Funder precedent (25) not yet awarded** — achievable max is 75 until the 990-PF index lands; `subscores` jsonb keeps the full breakdown for reweighting. Easy win = total ≥ 50.
+5. **Upsert + hero** — pair-keyed upsert that never touches review fields (a human's reject stands even when scores move); `serverAssignHeroMatch` marks the org's top non-rejected gate-passing match.
+
+## First live run (2026-07-16)
+
+64 orgs × top-50 grants → 3,200 matches, 0 gate failures (corpus was pre-filtered to nonprofit-eligible, federal = geography-unrestricted), **0 easy wins, max 39/75**. That's the system being honest: the current corpus is 200 NIH-dominated federal research grants — wrong pond for $100K–$5M NH service nonprofits (similarity ceiling ~0.58). The engine's next real gains are corpus-side: NH state agency sources, 990-PF foundation ingestion, full Grants.gov detail backlog, real effort estimates.
