Budgeted retrieval answers Obsidian vault questions by enforcing a strict token budget. It searches memory and wiki indices using a prioritized context chain, stopping early once enough information is found, then writes the answer and sources back to the markdown file.

Early-stop retrieval is a question answering mechanism that searches a prioritized context chain across memory and wiki indices, halting file reads as soon as it confidently produces an answer to prevent runaway context consumption.

Process batch pending questions by running a batch command targeting the wiki/questions/ directory. The workflow reads markdown files with pending status, retrieves context within token guardrails, and writes back the answer, sources, and status updates to each file.

Yes, budgeted retrieval writes back to source markdown files. It updates frontmatter status and records the answer, retrieved sources, and when needed a needs-deep-session plan directly into the original question file.

Limitations of strict token budget retrieval include capping the number of wiki and domain pages read, which may leave complex queries unanswered. It flags such files with a needs-deep-session plan instead of forcing a partial answer.
