## Problem
`raptor.py` computes `n_neighbors = int((len(embeddings) - 1) ** 0.8)`
and
passes it to `umap.UMAP(...)`. In a dataset-scope RAPTOR build the first
layer's `embeddings` is the entire KB's chunk set, so this is
effectively
unbounded: ~93k chunks → n_neighbors ≈ 9,446.
UMAP's k-NN graph is `N × n_neighbors`; at these values the raw neighbor
arrays alone are ~14 GB (93k × 9446 × 16 B), and the symmetrized fuzzy
simplicial set + spectral init push peak well past 30 GB. The task
executor is OOM-killed inside `fit_transform` before any clustering runs
—
the log shows "Task has been received" with no "Cluster one layer" line
—
after which the unacked task re-queues and OOMs again in a loop.
The line above already flags this: `# Degrade too much ??`.
## Fix
Cap `n_neighbors` at 100. UMAP's neighborhood size has strongly
diminishing returns well below this (default 15; a few dozen already
captures global structure), so the ceiling preserves — likely improves —
cluster quality while bounding memory to O(N). Mirrors the existing
`n_components=min(12, len(embeddings) - 2)` clamp two lines down.
```diff
- n_neighbors = int((len(embeddings) - 1) ** 0.8)
+ n_neighbors = min(int((len(embeddings) - 1) ** 0.8), 100)
```
## Repro
Dataset-scope RAPTOR over a KB with ~90k+ chunks on a box with <~64 GB
available: executor OOM-killed in the first-layer UMAP `fit_transform`.
With the cap, first-layer UMAP peaks in low single-digit GB and the
build
proceeds to completion.
## Scope
Only affects large dataset-scope builds; file-scope RAPTOR already had
n_neighbors well under 100. No behavior change beyond the ceiling.
