Pull request overview
This PR addresses issue #1140 by ensuring that deleting a document invalidates the in-memory/searchable text index so deleted texts do not remain retrievable, and by removing the prior tombstone-based workaround that over-fetched search results.
Changes:
- Removes the
deleted_dockeysworkaround and stops over-fetching/filters inDocs.retrieve_texts. - Updates
Docs.deleteto invalidate the vector index after a deletion. - Adds a regression test covering index invalidation and post-delete retrieval behavior across vector store implementations.
