* Score on the main thread without the time-slice mutex
Main-thread score recompute did corpus-level work on the main thread and held
the time-slice reader lock while doing per-key reads. Two changes:
Always build the recompute scorer on a background thread. Search() gated the
pre-build on GetContentProcessing() != kNoContent, which skipped FT.AGGREGATE
queries whose LOAD resolves to no record attributes. In CME those propagate
no_content to every responder, so nothing carries content back and the
coordinator - which never runs Search() itself - fetched content on the main
thread and lazily resolved a scorer there (rax lookups, stem expansion, IDF)
against a later corpus than the carried scores came from. Replace the gate with
a WillFetchContentOnMainThread() virtual, override it on AggregateParameters
and LocalResponderSearch, and have VerifyFilter borrow the responder's scorer.
The lazy kAcquireLock construction is gone; a dev counter
(search_recompute_scorer_missing) makes the unreachable fall-through
observable.
Re-synchronize Score() on fine-grained locks. It now takes only the lock each
per-key read's writer already holds - the RaxTargetMutexPool word bucket around
a shared Postings, Tag::index_mutex_, per_key_text_indexes_mutex_ and
mutated_records_mutex_ - and no longer touches the time-slice mutex. The
contention check only quiesces the result keys, so reads of a Postings key map
still race commits for unrelated keys carrying the same word; the word bucket is
what excludes them.
Score() also resolves per-key data through the key's own text index rather than
the Postings pinned at construction. Those pins go stale when the scored key was
a word's last holder: the posting list empties, the word is erased from the
tree, and the re-add installs a fresh object, so scoring off the pin silently
returned 0 for a document that still matched. The per-key tree is rebuilt
wholesale per mutation and so always points at the live object. Corpus-level
state still comes from the background snapshot, which is what keeps recomputed
scores on the same scale as their neighbours. The background ScoreTextQuery loop
keeps the unlocked pinned-postings path since it holds the read phase.
Verified: 1365 unit tests pass; query_test is clean under TSAN, and the new race
test is demonstrably dirty with the word lock removed (btree internal_emplace
against btree_node::finish on the shared key map). The staleness regression test
and the CME integration test each fail without their respective fix.

* Tidy up main-thread scoring internals
Follow-up cleanups to the previous commit, no behaviour change.
Fold the per-key posting lookup into TextIndexSchema::LookupKeyPosting, which
resolves the word in the key's own text index and returns the entry under the
word's bucket mutex. ScoreNode no longer reaches for a mutex itself, so
GetWordMutex - which existed only for that one call site - is gone rather than
exposing the mutex pool publicly.
Size ResolvedLeaf::words for the common case. It was mirroring the capacity
chosen for `postings`, but std::string is 32 bytes where InvasivePtr is 8, so
inline capacity 21 cost 680 bytes per leaf and these live in a flat_hash_map.
Capacity 1 covers the original word; the stem-variant expansion - whose IDF
accounting is a known TODO - takes an allocation.
Package the state that only applies off the read phase into a single
std::optional<ScoreContext::MainThreadRevalidation> instead of a bare pointer
plus a lock_per_key_reads flag. The two always travelled together, and nothing
enforced it: the pointer now cannot be supplied without declaring the mode, or
the mode without the pointer. The name follows the vocabulary already used for
this path (predicate_revalidation, "main-thread content-fetch revalidation").
1365 unit tests and both cluster integration tests pass.

* Return only scoring fields from LookupKeyPosting
The signature returned PostingValue, which carries a FlatPositionMap* alongside
tf and doc_len. Postings::RemoveKey destroys that map, so the pointer is only
valid inside the bucket lock the lookup holds - handing it back invited a
use-after-free from any caller that dereferenced it. Nothing does today; scoring
reads only tf and doc_len, and never needs positions.
Return a KeyPostingStats{tf, doc_len} instead, so the map pointer cannot escape
the critical section, and PostingValue stops leaking out of posting.h through
this seam. The nullopt for "key does not carry this word" now resolves inside
the call rather than at the call site.
The background path keeps its direct LookupKey: it runs inside the read phase,
where nothing can destroy the map.

* Skip the main-thread content fetch for no_content FT.AGGREGATE
FT.AGGREGATE sets no_content when LOAD requests no per-key attribute. In that
case return_attributes is empty, so GetContent fetched every field of every key
-- one ValkeyModule_OpenKey per neighbor -- and CreateRecordsFromNeighbors then
discarded all of it.
That fetch also drove the main-thread score recompute on a query that never ran
PerformKeyContentionCheck: GetContentProcessing() tests no_content first and
returns kNoContent before calling QueryHasTextPredicate, so a text-predicate
aggregate could reach SingleDocumentScorer::Score()'s unlocked per-key TextIndex
walk while a mutation thread was free to destroy that index in DeleteKeyData.
Guard the ProcessNeighborsForReply call on !no_content, as FT.SEARCH NOCONTENT
already does in HandleEarlyReplyScenarios. The guard wraps the call only; the
AddRecordAttribute calls above it establish key_index/scores_index.
Three things are dead once the fetch is gone and are removed: the
AggregateParameters and LocalResponderSearch WillFetchContentOnMainThread()
overrides, and the scorer borrow through local_responder_ in VerifyFilter --
ProcessNeighborsForReply skips neighbors that already have attribute_contents, so
a neighbor resolved by another shard never reaches VerifyFilter. The accessor is
now non-virtual. local_responder_ is retained; it still anchors the RecordsMap
string_view lifetimes.
This also closes VerifyFilter's own unlocked GetPerKeyTextIndex walk: any
text-predicate query that still fetches content is kContentionCheckRequired, so
the key is quiesced.
The content path is unchanged -- FT.AGGREGATE with a real LOAD still fetches,
revalidates and recomputes as FT.SEARCH does.
Accepted behaviour change, matching FT.SEARCH NOCONTENT: keys deleted, expired,
mutated out of the filter, or in a slot this shard no longer owns are no longer
pruned, so a no_content aggregate can over-count.
Also pins, without fixing, ADDSCORES: it parses into addscores_ and that field is
read nowhere, so the keyword silently does nothing. With Neighbor.score reaching a
record only under IsVectorQuery(), a non-vector score has no route to aggregate
output. test_aggregate_addscores.py asserts the no-op and carries a TODO.

Commit 1: Get background corpus information from background thread
Search() now pre-builds the recompute scorer at the end of its background-thread run, under the reader lock it already holds. The snapshot of corpus state (total docs, per-term IDF, average document length) therefore matches the state the carried neighbor scores were computed against, so a recomputed score is on the same scale as the scores it ranks against. A LockPolicy enum on the constructor distinguishes callers that already hold the reader lock from those that need it acquired.
Commit 2: Score on the main thread without the time-slice mutex
Score() no longer takes the reader lock. Every per-key read now takes the same fine-grained lock its writer holds: text term frequency and document length go through the key's own text index under the word's bucket mutex, tag membership takes the tag index mutex, and the document score takes the mutated-records mutex. Routing text lookups through the key's own tree also fixes a pre-existing bug where a Postings object pinned at construction could go stale and silently degrade the recomputed score to zero.
A no_content FT.AGGREGATE previously fetched every field of every key on the main thread and then discarded all of it. That fetch is now skipped, the same way FT.SEARCH NOCONTENT skips it. This closes a safety gap (the fetch drove a recompute on a path that never ran the key contention check) and removes pointless work. Behavior change: a no_content aggregate no longer prunes keys that were deleted, expired, or mutated out of the filter between scoring and reply, matching FT.SEARCH NOCONTENT semantics.
Commit 3: Implement FT.AGGREGATE ADDSCORES
ADDSCORES parsed into a flag that nothing read, and a non-vector score had no route into an aggregation record because the score column and score write were gated on vector queries. Non-vector queries now default the score name to __score, matching Redis. With ADDSCORES, the score column is registered and each record carries the document's relevance score, so @__score works in LOAD, SORTBY, APPLY, and GROUPBY. The score is the carried search-time score; with no LOAD the query stays no_content and the fetch stays skipped.
Testing
Unit: all suites pass, including new tests pinning the staleness fix (fails without the per-key tree routing), the lock removal (Score() callable under a held reader lock, which deadlocked before), the scorer pre-build gate, and the ADDSCORES flag.
TSAN: clean across the query test suite. The word-bucket lock race test was verified to fail with the exact predicted race when the lock is removed.
Integration: new cluster tests cover the FT.SEARCH recompute on the local responder, the no_content aggregate fetch skip, and the with-LOAD aggregate recompute. New ADDSCORES tests cover the score field, SORTBY ordering by relevance, and the no-LOAD case.
