+"""RIDER — Reader-Guided Passage Reranking.
+
+Bridges the R@5 vs E2E accuracy gap by using the LLM's own predictions
+to rerank retrieved passages. Passages the LLM can actually answer from
+get ranked higher than passages that merely match keywords.
+
+Research: RIDER achieves +10-20 top-1 accuracy gains over naive retrieval
+by aligning retrieval quality with reader utility.

+Usage:
