Complete bug investigation and fix unused appuser in Dockerfile

Investigation complete - verified 35+ bugs as fixed or non-issues:

Medium severity verified:
- BUG-018: N/A - intentional TODO comments for future features
- BUG-022: Low priority - sync_book properly chunks, only extract_ebook affected
- BUG-025: Acceptable - 4 chars/token is common approximation
- BUG-029: N/A - intentional score thresholds documented
- BUG-036: Acceptable - IntegrityError handling correct
- BUG-038: N/A - standard single beat process practice

Low severity fixed:
- BUG-056: Removed unused appuser from Dockerfile

Remaining valid issues documented for future work:
- BUG-002: Collection mismatch (needs data verification)
- BUG-026: BM25 scores discarded
- BUG-030: Rate limiting
- BUG-032: CSRF protection

 ### Data Layer
 - BUG-017: ✅ Missing `collection_name` index - FIXED (Index exists at source_item.py:168)
-- BUG-018: AgentObservation dead code for future embedding types (`source_items.py:1005-1028`)
+- BUG-018: N/A AgentObservation dead code - intentional TODO comments for future embedding types
 - BUG-019: ✅ Embed status never set to STORED after push - FIXED (properly sets STORED at lines 169, 245)
 - BUG-020: ✅ Missing server_id index on DiscordMessage - FIXED (Index exists at source_items.py:428-432)
 
 ### Content Processing
 - BUG-021: ✅ No chunk validation after break_chunk - FIXED (yield_spans guarantees max_tokens)
-- BUG-022: Ebook extraction creates single massive chunk (`extract.py:218-230`)
+- BUG-022: Low priority - extract_ebook creates single chunk, BUT sync_book task properly creates BookSection chunks
 - BUG-023: SHA256-only deduplication misses semantic duplicates (`source_item.py:51-91`)
 - BUG-024: Email hash inconsistency with markdown conversion (`email.py:171-185`)
-- BUG-025: Token approximation uses fixed 4-char ratio (`tokens.py:8-12`)
+- BUG-025: Acceptable - 4 chars/token is common approximation (accurate tokenization requires model-specific tokenizers)
 
 ### Search System
 - BUG-026: BM25 scores calculated then discarded (`bm25.py:66-70`)
 - BUG-027: N/A LLM score fallback - actually reasonable (0.0 means chunk not prioritized when scoring fails)
 - BUG-028: Missing filter validation (`embeddings.py:130-131`)
-- BUG-029: Hardcoded min_score thresholds (`embeddings.py:186,202`)
+- BUG-029: N/A Hardcoded min_score thresholds - intentional (0.25 text, 0.4 multimodal due to different score distributions)
 
 ### API Layer
 - BUG-030: Missing rate limiting (global)

 ### Worker Tasks
 - BUG-035: ✅ No task time limits - FIXED (celery_app.py has task_time_limit=3600, task_soft_time_limit=3000)
-- BUG-036: Database integrity errors not properly handled (`discord.py:310-321`)
+- BUG-036: Acceptable - IntegrityError caught and returns error (retrying duplicates wouldn't help)
 - BUG-037: ✅ Timezone bug in scheduled calls - FIXED (properly converts to UTC and strips tzinfo for DB comparison)
-- BUG-038: Beat schedule not thread-safe for distributed deployment (`ingest.py:19-56`)
+- BUG-038: N/A Beat schedule - standard practice is single beat process; use celery-redbeat for distributed
 - BUG-039: ✅ Email sync fails entire account on single folder error - FIXED (process_folder has own try-except, continues to next folder)
