"""Regression: the sports-hint match must be word-boundary, not substring.
`_SPORTS_HINTS` contains "sport", which is a substring of "transport",
"passport", "sportswear", and of domains like "transport.gov". The old code
used `hint in text` / `hint in netloc`, so for any non-sports news query a
legitimate result mentioning "transport"/"passport" took the -1.5 sports
penalty and was pushed down the ranking. The query classifier had the same
flaw (a "passport" query was treated as a sports query). Both now use the
word-boundary `_SPORTS_HINT_RE`.
The same ranking module exists in two live copies: `services/search/ranking.py`
(the /api/search HTTP path) and `src/search/ranking.py` (the agent's
`web_search` tool path via `src/search/core.py`). Both are fixed and both are
covered here.
