First, it covers Retrieval Auditing: every retrieval logs its confidence and rationale. This isn't just for debugging; it allows the model to see its own retrieval trajectory.
When the model realizes, "Although I retrieved this passage, it only partially answers the question," it can proactively trigger another retrieval. The author calls this "self-aware retrieval," though very few have actually implemented it.
