docs(module-c): add GSoC 2026 final-evaluation blog

[PRAteek-singHWY]

The GSoC 2026 final-evaluation blog for Module C (The Librarian), added to the same folder Module B's final blog lands in (#1037), alongside the mid-evaluation pattern from #1004.

A first-person write-up of the second half of the project: the eight merged stages (#922, #925, #937, #957, #974, #990, #991, #1011), the week-7 threshold sweep that held tau at 0.80, the thirteen reranker experiments that all regressed and the corpus root cause behind them (427 of 428 CREs have empty description fields), the live B->C integration with consumption gated on persistence, and the cross-module review loop with Module B that produced #1025 -> #1030. Closes on the number the module was built around: review recall 5/5, meaning every chunk that needed a human reached one.

.gitignore gets one ! negation (same pattern as the mid-eval blog). Docs-only. The post is published on Medium for the GSoC submission: https://medium.com/@prateek23022004/the-librarian-smart-content-mapping-my-gsoc-2026-with-owasp-opencre-module-c-8db874d46bab — the repo copy carries the canonical link back to it.

Related open PRs, for reviewer context:

• fix(librarian): claim knowledge_queue rows safely under concurrent consumers (#1025) #1030 — the row-locking fix for Module C DbKnowledgeSource reads knowledge_queue without row locking — unsafe for concurrent consumers #1025 (opt-in FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED claiming in DbKnowledgeSource, plumbed through run_librarian_queue). All checks green, CodeRabbit findings resolved; the blog references it as "in review as I write this". Independent of this PR, no shared files, either can merge first. It also carries the fix for the --librarian_envelopes_out help-string nit from the week_8: Module C (The Librarian) — live B→C integration, docs, and the regression gate #1011 review.
• docs(module-b): add GSoC 2026 final-evaluation blog #1037 — Module B's final blog, which creates the same docs/Final_eval_blog_gsoc2026/ folder and adds its own .gitignore negation. Whichever of the two blog PRs merges second may need a trivial one-line rebase on .gitignore; the content cannot conflict.

Changes

Module C final blog

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Blog context and implementation .gitignore, docs/Final_eval_blog_gsoc2026/module_C_final_blog.md	Describes OpenCRE, Module C, the pipeline role, Librarian processing, threshold routing, and hermetic testing.
Evaluation and production integration docs/Final_eval_blog_gsoc2026/module_C_final_blog.md	Records evaluation results, reranker experiments, recall measurements, durable persistence, queue-label handling, row locking, and transaction behavior.
Handoff and future work docs/Final_eval_blog_gsoc2026/module_C_final_blog.md	Documents handoff status, reproducibility information, references, lessons learned, acknowledgements, and future work.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f14a3

This docs-only change adds the final-evaluation post, but the current text contains inconsistent τ = 0.80 counts, contradictory timing and merge-status claims, an overbroad thresholding statement, and an incomplete validation sentence that could mislead readers; publication should wait for these corrections.

In `@docs/Final_eval_blog_gsoc2026/module_C_final_blog.md`:
- Line 23: Revise the threshold ceiling statement in the discussion of threshold
precision and top-1 ranking accuracy to clarify that thresholding may improve
precision by abstaining, but cannot improve the underlying ranker’s quality or
maximum recall. Align the wording with the reported 96.5% threshold precision
and 75% top-1 accuracy.
- Line 31: In the paragraph describing the gated reranker, replace the
incomplete held-out-validation sentence with a grammatically complete sentence
stating that it needs held-out validation, but there was no time to do that
honestly.
- Line 47: Revise the sentence in the final report to avoid claiming everything
is on main while PR `#1030` remains open, and replace the broad one-command
reproducibility claim with the exact commands documented in final_metrics.md for
hermetic evaluation, the test suite, and cache rewriting before live metrics.
Preserve the existing references to the report location and contribution
history.
- Line 3: Align the GSoC timeline statements in the blog by choosing the
publication date as the source of truth and updating either the “GSoC 2026 is
over” statement near the introduction or the “GSoC ends this week” statement
near the conclusion so both use the same end-date status.

with the corresponding values in final_metrics.md: identify and document the run
or evaluation subset producing 172 auto-links and six wrong links, or update the
source so both reports use the same run and denominators before publication.
