### What problem does this PR solve?
Partially addresses #14362 by adding deleted-file sync support for the
Dropbox data source.
Dropbox previously did not provide the slim current-file snapshot
required by stale document reconciliation, and its sync runner returned
only document batches. As a result, enabling deleted-file sync could not
remove local documents that had been deleted from Dropbox.
This PR:
- Adds `retrieve_all_slim_docs_perm_sync()` to `DropboxConnector`.
- Reuses Dropbox metadata traversal to collect current remote file IDs
without downloading file contents.
- Wires incremental Dropbox sync to return `(document_generator,
file_list)` when `sync_deleted_files` is enabled.
- Enables the deleted-file sync toggle for Dropbox in the data source
settings UI.
- Adds regression coverage for slim snapshots, nested folders, paginated
listings, duplicate filenames, and full reindex behavior.
Tests:
- `uv run pytest test/unit_test/common/test_dropbox_connector.py -q`
- `uv run pytest test/unit_test/rag/test_sync_data_source.py -q`
- `uv run pytest test/unit_test/common/test_dropbox_connector.py

### Type of change
- [x] New Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
## Summary
- remove eval-based parsing from retrieval rank feature scoring
- validate `tag_feas` at write time in chunk APIs and SDK routes
- add regression tests for safe parsing and malicious payload rejection
## Details
`tag_feas` is intended to be structured rank-feature data, but the
retrieval ranking path was evaluating stored values as Python
expressions. This change treats `tag_feas` strictly as data.
### What changed
- replace `eval()` in `rag/nlp/search.py` with safe parsing via
`json.loads()` and optional `ast.literal_eval()` compatibility for
legacy Python-dict strings
- strictly filter parsed values down to `dict[str, finite number]`
- reject invalid `tag_feas` payloads at write time in web chunk routes
and SDK document chunk routes
- add focused regression tests to prove executable strings are ignored
and invalid payloads are rejected
## Validation
- `python -m pytest test/unit_test/common/test_tag_feature_utils.py
test/unit_test/rag/test_rank_feature_scores.py -q`

### What problem does this PR solve?
Renamed test/unit/test_delete_query_construction.py to
test/unit_test/common/test_delete_query_construction.py to align with
the project's directory structure and improve test categorization.
### Type of change
- [x] Refactoring
## Summary
- Replace hardcoded CST (UTC+8) expected values in `test_time_utils.py`
with dynamically computed local-time expectations using
`time.localtime()` and `time.mktime()`
- Tests previously failed in any timezone other than UTC+8; they now
pass regardless of the system's local timezone
## Test plan
- [x] `uv run pytest test/unit_test/ -v` — 317 passed, 25 skipped

### What problem does this PR solve?
#### Summary
This PR enhances the Semi-automatic metadata filtering mode by allowing
users to explicitly pre-define operators (e.g., contains, =, >, etc.)
for selected metadata keys. While the LLM still dynamically extracts the
filter value from the user's query, it is now strictly constrained to
use the operator specified in the UI configuration.
Using this feature is optional. By default the operator selection is set
to "automatic" resulting in the LLM choosing the operator (as
presently).
#### Rationale & Use Case
This enhancement was driven by a concrete challenge I encountered while
working with technical documentation.
In my specific use case, I was trying to filter for software versions
within a technical manual. In this dataset, a single document chunk
often applies to multiple software versions. These versions are stored
as a combined string within the metadata for each chunk.
When using the standard semi-automatic filter, the LLM would
inconsistently choose between the contains and equals operators. When it
chose equals, it would exclude every chunk that applied to more than one
version, even if the version I was searching for was clearly included in
that metadata string. This led to incomplete and frustrating retrieval
results.
By extending the semi-automatic filter to allow pre-defining the
operator for a specific key, I was able to force the use of contains for
the version field. This change immediately led to significantly improved
and more reliable results in my case.
I believe this functionality will be equally useful for others dealing
with "tagged" or multi-value metadata where the relationship between the
query and the field is known, but the specific value needs to remain
dynamic.
#### Key Changes
##### Backend & Core Logic
- `common/metadata_utils.py`: Updated apply_meta_data_filter to support
a mixed data structure for semi_auto (handling both legacy string arrays
and the new object-based format {"key": "...", "op": "..."}).
- `rag/prompts/generator.py`: Extended gen_meta_filter to accept and
pass operator constraints to the LLM.
- `rag/prompts/meta_filter.md`: Updated the system prompt to instruct
the LLM to strictly respect provided operator constraints.
##### Frontend
- `web/src/components/metadata-filter/metadata-semi-auto-fields.tsx`:
Enhanced the UI to include an operator dropdown for each selected
metadata key, utilizing existing operator constants.
- `web/src/components/metadata-filter/index.tsx`: Updated the validation
schema to accommodate the new state structure.
#### Test Plan
- Backward Compatibility: Verified that existing semi-auto filters
stored as simple strings still function correctly.
- Prompt Verification: Confirmed that constraints are correctly rendered
in the LLM system prompt when specified.
- Added unit tests as
`test/unit_test/common/test_apply_semi_auto_meta_data_filter.py`
- Manual End-to-End:
- Configured a "Semi-automatic" filter for a "Version" key with the
"contains" operator.
- Asked a version-specific query.
- Result

### What problem does this PR solve?
##### Summary
This PR fixes a bug in the metadata filtering logic where the contains
and not contains operators were behaving identically to the in and not
in operators. It also standardizes the syntax for string-based
operators.
##### The Issue
On the main branch, the contains operator was implemented as:
`matched = input in value if not isinstance(input, list) else all(i in
value for i in input)`
This logic is identical to the `in` operator. It checks if the metadata
(`input`) exists within the filter (`value`). For a "contains" search,
the logic should be reversed: _we want to check if the filter value
exists within the metadata input_.
##### Solution Presented Here
The operators have been rewritten using str.find():
Contains: `str(input).find(value) >= 0`
Not Contains: `str(input).find(value) == -1`
##### Advantage
This approach places the metadata (input) on the left side of the
expression. This maintains stylistic consistency with the existing start
with and end with operators in the same file, which also place the input
on the left (e.g., str(input).lower().startswith(...)).
##### Considered Alternative
In a previous PR we considered using the standard Python `in` operator:
`value in str(input)`.
The `in` operator is approximately 15% faster because it uses optimized
Python bytecode (CONTAINS_OP) and avoids an attribute lookup. However
following rejection of this PR we now propose the change presented here.
