Properties

open val resolutionLevel: ResolutionLevel

Which ResolutionLevel a confident hit from this searcher counts as, for the per-level telemetry EscalatingEntityResolver logs. Each searcher declares its own tier so the counts stay accurate whatever the chain's length or order. Defaults to ResolutionLevel.HEURISTIC_MATCH; exact-lookup searchers report ResolutionLevel.EXACT_MATCH and vector search reports ResolutionLevel.EMBEDDING_MATCH.
