"""
Test multi-hop semantic search with reranking functionality.
These tests verify that:
1. Providers with reranking support trigger multi-hop search (because supports_reranking() = True)
2. Multi-hop search actually finds NEW results in the dynamic expansion
3. Reranking actually reorders results by relevance to the original query
4. The complete pipeline works with CAST chunking at function/class boundaries
Tests run parametrically against all available reranking-capable providers:
- VoyageAI (if API key available)
- Ollama (if Ollama server and reranking service running)
