Trenton HolmesandClaude Fable 5 a717684a60 fix(search): build the fuzzy blend from parsed free-text tokens, not the raw query
The fuzzy blend clause handed the raw query string to tantivy's own
parser, which rejects whoosh-only grammar (date keywords, whoosh ranges,
aliases needing resolution), so any mixed query silently lost its fuzzy
clause: a typo'd word beside "added:today" stopped matching the moment
the date keyword appeared, while the same typo without it still matched.
Before the whoosh-compat migration the parser received the translated
string, so fuzzy survived mixed queries.

The clause is now built from whoosh_compat.free_text_tokens over the
already-parsed AST: the query's free-text words, analyzed, deduplicated,
with negated terms excluded so a NOT'd word cannot resurface through the
fuzzy clause. The joined word string is always plain tokens, so tantivy
always parses it; a defensive word-character filter guards any future
field whose analyzer passes punctuation through, and the ValueError skip
remains as insurance. One chosen trade-off is documented in the
docstring: a term fielded on a default search field contributes its text
unfielded, widening fuzzy recall on the 0.1-boosted secondary clause.

Two result-level acceptance tests pin the behavior: the mixed
typo-plus-date-keyword query matches its document again, and a NOT'd
word does not fuzzy-resurface (shaped so the assertion genuinely fails
under a naive all-words implementation: the excluded word's document is
the only candidate hit, so score normalization cannot mask it).
