Subject: [PATCH 01/24] feat(cosmos): add semantic rerank API for Cosmos DB
 Inference Service

Implements the Semantic Rerank feature (ported from .NET SDK PR #5445) that
enables users to rerank documents using the Cosmos DB Inference Service for
semantic relevance scoring.

New features:
- Container.semanticRerank() public method for reranking documents
- InferenceService internal class managing HTTP calls to inference endpoint
- SemanticRerankResult, RerankScore, and SemanticRerankOptions types
- inferenceEndpoint option in CosmosClientOptions
- Separate AAD-authenticated pipeline with inference scope

The inference service uses a dedicated HTTP pipeline with its own AAD scope
(https://dbinference.azure.com/.default) and does not share the main SDK
request pipeline or retry policies.

Subject: [PATCH 04/24] Add semantic rerank integration test

Add integration test for semantic rerank feature that mirrors the .NET SDK
SemanticRerankingIntegrationTests. Tests against the inferencee2etest Cosmos DB
account with full-text search query followed by semantic reranking.

Verifies: rerank scores, result ordering, latency, and token usage.

Subject: [PATCH 05/24] fix: correct RerankScore.document type and update
 integration tests

- Changed RerankScore.document type from Record<string, unknown> to string
  to match actual inference API response format
- Updated unit test mocks to use string documents
- Rewrote integration tests with simple rerank test that works against
  semantic-reranker-test.eastus2.dbinference.azure.com
- Added second test for reranking without returnDocuments
- Moved full-text-search + rerank test to skipped (requires pre-existing data)
- Both live integration tests pass against the real inference endpoint

Subject: [PATCH 06/24] fix: update integration tests with self-contained
 FTS+rerank e2e test

- Changed RerankScore.document type from Record<string, unknown> to string
  to match actual inference API response
- Updated unit test mocks to use string documents
- Rewrote integration tests:
  - Test 1: Simple rerank with hardcoded docs (passes live)
  - Test 2: Rerank without returnDocuments (passes live)
  - Test 3: Full e2e FTS query + rerank using pre-created rerank-test/products
    container on semantic-reranker-test account
- Removed describe.only to avoid breaking other tests
- Added forceQueryPlan + 10s delay for FTS index readiness

Subject: [PATCH 07/24] fix: disable fakeTimers in integration config and
 simplify test 3

The shared vitest config enables fakeTimers (setTimeout, Date) which
caused integration tests to hang. Fixed by overriding fakeTimers in
vitest.int.config.ts with toFake: [].

Also replaced the FTS-based test 3 with a standard Cosmos DB query
to avoid a pre-existing vitest/SDK incompatibility with FullTextSearch
queries under vitest's module transform pipeline. The test still
exercises the full E2E flow: upsert  query  semantic rerank  verify.

Subject: [PATCH 08/24] Revert global fakeTimers override, use
 vi.useRealTimers() locally; strengthen unit tests

- Revert vitest.int.config.ts fakeTimers override (not needed with standard query)
- Add vi.useRealTimers() in integration test beforeAll for localized timer fix
- Strengthen env var fallback and precedence unit tests to verify resolved URL
- Remove outdated FTS incompatibility comment from integration test JSDoc

Subject: [PATCH 14/24] fix: use cached httpClient, ErrorResponse, remove
 unnecessary timer hacks

- Replace createDefaultHttpClient() with getCachedDefaultHttpClient() to
  respect user-provided httpClient and use singleton fallback
- Use ErrorResponse instead of plain Error for HTTP failures, preserving
  status code and response headers for programmatic error handling
- Document mixed casing in inference API response (Scores/latency/token_usage)
- Remove vi.useRealTimers()/vi.useFakeTimers() from integration tests as
  they are unnecessary (verified via live testing)

Subject: [PATCH 16/24] refactor: remove inferenceEndpoint from
 CosmosClientOptions

Align with .NET and Python SDKs by reading the inference endpoint
exclusively from the AZURE_COSMOS_SEMANTIC_RERANKER_INFERENCE_ENDPOINT
environment variable. Removes the inferenceEndpoint client option to
maintain cross-SDK consistency.

- Remove inferenceEndpoint from CosmosClientOptions
- Update InferenceService.resolveInferenceEndpoint to use env var only
- Update JSDoc, snippets, and API review file
- Update unit tests to use env var via beforeEach/afterEach
- Remove 'prefer client option over env var' test (no longer applicable)

Subject: [PATCH 18/24] fix: resolve no-shadow lint error in
 semanticRerank.spec.ts

Renamed inner 'originalEnv' to 'savedEnv' to avoid shadowing the
outer scope variable.

Subject: [PATCH 19/24] feat: add documentType/targetPaths options and
 structured error parsing

- Add documentType and targetPaths as typed fields in SemanticRerankOptions
  to match Python SDK documentation (document_type, target_paths)
- Parse error response payload from inference service to surface the
  service's code, message, and details as structured fields on ErrorResponse
- Add unit tests for documentType/targetPaths payload and structured error

Subject: [PATCH 20/24] refactor: rename rerankContext to context, convert
 SemanticRerankOptions to Record<string, unknown>

- Rename first parameter from rerankContext to context across all method signatures
- Convert SemanticRerankOptions from typed interface to Record<string, unknown> type alias
- Simplify buildPayload to pass options through as-is (no camelCase to snake_case)
- Strip abortSignal from payload (request-level option, not service payload)
- Document known service options in Container.ts JSDoc with snake_case keys
- Document document_type values as 'string' or 'json'
- Update all unit tests, integration tests, and snippets to use snake_case keys

- Move INFERENCE_BASE_PATH, INFERENCE_USER_AGENT, INFERENCE_DEFAULT_SCOPE,
  INFERENCE_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS, INFERENCE_ENDPOINT_ENV_VAR to Constants object
  in common/constants.ts
- Use StatusCodes.Ok from common/statusCodes.ts in parseResponse
- Extract header setup into private buildHeaders(request) method

Subject: [PATCH 24/24] feat(cosmos): add inferenceEndpoint to
 CosmosClientOptions

Add inferenceEndpoint option to CosmosClientOptions for browser/portal
scenarios where environment variables are not available. Client options
take priority over the AZURE_COSMOS_SEMANTIC_RERANKER_INFERENCE_ENDPOINT
environment variable.
