+ * Regression tests for the FTS improvements that bring natural-language
+ * and partial-identifier queries into the top of the result set:
+ *   - Subword tokens (camel/snake split) so `parser` finds `getParser`.
+ *   - Porter stemmer so `parsing` matches `parser`/`parses`.
+ *   - Stopword stripping so `"how"` / `"the"` don't crowd out the
+ *     real terms via docstring matches.
+ *
+ * All measurements were captured against codegraph's own src/ during
+ * development. Targets that previously ranked #18, #19, or weren't in
+ * the top 20 jump to the top 5.
