The entity-grounding demotion required the full multi-word primary entity as a contiguous substring, so on-entity items missing a trailing search descriptor were buried: a 323-pt HN thread "Stripe is friendly to 'friendly fraud'" scored 0 on a "Stripe payments" query. New _entity_grounded helper keys on the brand head token; items that never name the brand still miss it and stay demoted. reddit_keyless _slot_priority, which had re-implemented the old check while claiming to mirror rerank's signal, now calls the shared helper so the two paths cannot diverge.
