Fix: retrieve once per document chat question

Document chat searched the vector store twice per question: once
explicitly to build the reference list, and again inside
RetrieverQueryEngine.query(), which retrieves before synthesizing. That
meant two query-embedding calls and two full vector searches each time.

The engine added nothing beyond the retriever call (no node
postprocessors are configured), so drop it and synthesize directly from
the nodes already retrieved. The streaming response is unchanged.

-name: paperless-benchmarking
-description: Use when profiling paperless-ngx performance, running `manage.py benchmark`, investigating a slow query or endpoint, or deciding whether a profiling finding should become a permanent registered scenario. Covers command reference, the fork/merge-back branch workflow for perf investigations, and how to read query-plan output.

-# Paperless-ngx Benchmarking
-
-This repo has a built-in benchmarking/profiling tool: `manage.py benchmark`, in
-the `paperless_benchmark` Django app. It replaces ad hoc standalone scripts —
-use it instead of writing new one-off seed/timing scripts.
-
-## Command reference
-
-```
-manage.py benchmark seed --tier {home,medium,large} [--reset --yes-i-know-this-wipes-the-database] [--seed N]
-manage.py benchmark run --repeat 5 [--label baseline]
-manage.py benchmark profile <scenario_name> [--repeat 5] [--explain]
-manage.py benchmark list-scenarios
-```
-
-- **`seed`** builds a realistic dataset at one of three scales: `home` (500
-  documents — fast, use this for iteration), `medium` (20,000 — the default
-  when `--tier` is omitted; a multi-minute seed), `large` (360,000 — matches
-  the scale reported in real large-install bug reports; slow, only use it
-  when a finding needs confirming at real scale). `--reset` wipes any
-  previously-seeded benchmark data first — but it is destructive and
-  irreversible: it deletes **all** users, **all** groups, and **all**
-  documents/tags/correspondents/document types/storage paths in the target
-  database, not just benchmark-created rows. Only run it against a disposable
-  benchmark database, never a real install. Because of that, `--reset` also
-  requires passing `--yes-i-know-this-wipes-the-database` in the same
-  invocation, or the command raises an error and does nothing. Omit both
-  flags if you want to layer more data onto an existing seed instead. `seed`
-  creates two named users, `perf_target` (mixed owned/shared documents,
-  realistic guardian permission grants) and `perf_admin` (superuser), plus a
-  general user/group pool with realistic permission-row ratios.
-- **`run`** times the 4 built-in API endpoint benchmarks
-  (`/api/documents/`, `/api/documents/?page_size=50`, `/api/tags/?page_size=100000`,
-  and the UI's list request with `include_selection_data=true`) for both
-  `perf_target` and `perf_admin`, reporting min/median/max wall-clock and SQL
-  query count. Requires `seed` to have already run — it reuses that data, it
-  does not seed its own.
-- **`profile`** times one named scenario from the registry (see
-  `list-scenarios`) via best-of-N repeat timing and SQL query count, against
-  `perf_target`. `--explain` additionally captures and prints the query plan:
-  real `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` execution stats on PostgreSQL/MariaDB, or
-  `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN` (plan only, no real timing/row counts — clearly labeled
-  as such) on SQLite. Like `run`, `profile` requires `seed` to have already
-  run — it does not seed its own data either.
-- Every `run`/`profile` invocation appends a JSON line to
-  `benchmark_results/history.jsonl` at the repo root (local-only, gitignored —
-  never commit this file). Use it to compare a `before`/`after` pair across
-  two invocations without hand-copying numbers.
-- Full chain example: `seed --reset` once, then `run` and `profile` as many
-  times as you want against that same seeded data — no need to reseed between
-  them.
-
-## Adding a new scenario
-
-A "scenario" is a named, registered query/operation that `profile` can time
-and explain. To add one, edit `src/paperless_benchmark/scenarios.py`: write a
-`_<name>_run(user)` function (returns whatever `run_profile` should time) and
-optionally a `_<name>_queryset(user)` function (returns the `QuerySet` for
-`--explain` to analyze), then `register(Scenario(name=..., describe=...,
-run=..., queryset_for_explain=...))` at module level. Both functions receive
-the already-seeded `perf_target` user — they should not seed their own data.
-
-## Branch workflow
-
-`tools/benchmark-management-commands` is a **long-lived tooling branch**, not
-a feature branch that gets merged and closed:
-
-1. It is periodically brought up to date with `dev` (merge `dev` into it) so
-   the tooling doesn't drift from the schema/codebase it profiles. Do this
-   before starting a new investigation if it's been a while since the last
-   sync.
-2. **Every performance investigation forks its own branch from
-   `tools/benchmark-management-commands`** (not from `dev`). Do the
-   investigation there: write throwaway profiling code, try fixes, capture
-   before/after numbers.
-3. **That investigation branch never merges into `dev` or production.** Its
-   only job is to produce evidence and, optionally, a reusable scenario.
-4. If the investigation turns up a scenario worth keeping permanently (see
-   "When to graduate a scenario" below), open a PR that adds **just that
-   scenario** back into `tools/benchmark-management-commands` — not the rest
-   of the investigation branch's throwaway code.
-5. Any actual production fix the investigation motivates (e.g. an ORM query
-   change) goes into its own normal feature branch off `dev`, following the
-   project's regular contribution process — profiling evidence informs that
-   PR's description, but the profiling code itself does not travel with it.
-
-## Reading query-plan output
-
-- **PostgreSQL** `EXPLAIN ANALYZE`: look for `Seq Scan` on a large table
-  (missing index), a large gap between `rows=N` (planner's estimate) and the
-  actual row count in parentheses (stale statistics or a bad cardinality
-  estimate), and nested-loop joins driven by an outer relation with many
-  rows (usually the N+1 pattern this tool exists to catch).
-- **MariaDB**: verified against a real MariaDB 12.3 container that MariaDB
-  does NOT accept MySQL 8.0.18+'s `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` syntax (it's a 1064
-  syntax error) -- `capture_explain()` instead runs MariaDB's own
-  `ANALYZE <statement>` form (no `EXPLAIN` keyword), which returns a
-  tabular plan with real per-row execution columns: `rows` (estimate) vs.
-  `r_rows` (actual), and `filtered` vs. `r_filtered`. A large gap between
-  `rows` and `r_rows`, or `type: ALL` (full table scan) on a large table,
-  are the signals to look for -- the same underlying concerns as Postgres's
-  `Seq Scan`/estimate-vs-actual gap, just in MariaDB's column-based output
-  instead of Postgres's nested-tree text format.
-- **SQLite** `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN`: no real timing/row-count data, only the
-  chosen access path (`SCAN` vs `SEARCH`, which index if any). Useful for
-  confirming an index is even being considered, not for judging real-world
-  cost — corroborate any SQLite finding against Postgres/MariaDB before
-  trusting it, since planner behavior differs meaningfully between them.
-- Compare query **count**, not just timing, between before/after: a fix that
-  keeps the same wall-clock time but drops query count from O(n) to O(1) is
-  still a real, durable improvement — timing alone is noisy and
-  environment-dependent, query count is not.
-
-## Cleaning up after an interrupted run
-
-If a `seed`/`run`/`profile` invocation gets killed mid-run (Ctrl-C, `kill -9`,
-a timed-out SSH session, etc.), check whether it left anything behind before
-trusting the next benchmark's numbers. This was verified for real: a
-`benchmark seed --tier large --reset ...` was started against both a fresh
-PostgreSQL 18 container and a fresh MariaDB 12.3 container and `kill -9`'d a
-few seconds into document seeding. In both cases, the database-side
-connection disappeared immediately -- no stuck backend, no lingering query,
-no held lock was observed in either backend once the killed process's PID
-was confirmed gone. That said, this was one interruption point (mid
-bulk-seed, between chunks); a run killed mid-query, or a driver/network
-hiccup that doesn't cleanly close the socket, could behave differently, so
-still check before trusting a number if any run in the session was
-interrupted:
-
-- **PostgreSQL**: look for leftover connections against the benchmark
-  database:
-
-  ```sql
-  SELECT pid, state, query, query_start
-  FROM pg_stat_activity
-  WHERE datname = current_database() AND pid <> pg_backend_pid();
-  ```
-
-  If a stuck backend shows up, clear it with:
-
-  ```sql
-  SELECT pg_terminate_backend(pid)
-  FROM pg_stat_activity
-  WHERE datname = current_database() AND pid <> pg_backend_pid();
-  ```
-
-- **MariaDB**: look for leftover connections/queries:
-
-  ```sql
-  SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST;
-  ```
-
-  If a stuck connection shows up (anything other than your current admin
-  session), clear it with:
-
-  ```sql
-  KILL <id>;
-  ```
-
-A stray connection left running concurrently with a subsequent benchmark run
-would add real, contaminating load (extra queries competing for the same
-rows, possibly held locks slowing the next run's timings) -- cheap to rule
-out, expensive to silently trust a number that was actually measured
-alongside a zombie connection.
-
-## When to graduate a one-off finding into a permanent scenario
-
-Register a scenario (rather than leaving it as throwaway code on the
-investigation branch) when **both** are true:
-
-- The query pattern is one this codebase is likely to regress on again (e.g.
-  it involves a permission-check join, a bulk operation, or anything else
-  with an easy-to-reintroduce N+1) — not a one-time fluke specific to this
-  investigation.
-- Re-running it later, against a fresh seed, would still produce a
-  meaningful signal (it doesn't depend on investigation-specific throwaway
-  data or a fix that's already permanently landed and can't regress the same
-  way).
-
-If a finding doesn't meet both bars, keep it as disposable code on the
-investigation branch and let the branch's evidence (captured in the PR
-description of whatever production fix it motivates) be the permanent
-record instead.
