Unified Retriever for Phase 2 Architecture Migration.

Unified retriever combining vector storage and hybrid search capabilities.
This component merges the functionality of FAISSVectorStore and HybridRetriever
into a single efficient component that provides:
- Dense semantic search with FAISS vector storage
- Sparse BM25 keyword matching
- Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF) for result combination
- Direct component access without abstraction layers
- Optimized performance for technical documentation
Features:
- Sub-second search on 1000+ document corpus
- Multiple FAISS index types (Flat, IVF, HNSW)
- Embedding normalization for cosine similarity
- Source diversity enhancement
- Apple Silicon MPS acceleration support
Example:
retriever = UnifiedRetriever(
embedder=sentence_embedder,
dense_weight=0.7,
embedding_dim=384

retriever.index_documents(documents)
