stumpylog 138b18382e feature: add Tantivy full-text fallback adapter for taxonomy candidates
This brings users without an embedding backend configured to closer
parity with those who do.  Reuse the search backend to locate similar
documents and use them to provide the LLM with the better suggestion pool
to draw from
