The per-word path fix (#745) brought the backend to parity but not above: the project name still gave the lexically-matching stack a residual dir match + an FTS class-name match, so a backend query that included the project name still ranked the frontend at/above the backend. Derive the project name from go.mod module / package.json name / repo dir, and treat a query word matching it as non-discriminative: drop it from path relevance and from codegraph_explore's PascalCase type-disambiguation bias (reporter's suggestions #1/#2) — unless it's the only query word, so a bare project-name search still scores. Narrow by construction: the down-weighting fires ONLY when a query word matches the derived project name (≥5 chars), so every query that doesn't name the project is byte-identical. On the reporter's repro the backend controllers now top a backend question that includes the project name; queries without it, bare project-name queries, and normal symbol queries are unchanged. Query-time only (no re-index). Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
