 2. How well-separated each cluster is from its nearest neighboring cluster.
 
+Although the coefficient is mathematically bounded by [−1, 1], cosine distance between high-dimensional text embeddings is compressed: unrelated notes sit close to orthogonal, so both the within-cluster and nearest-cluster distances land near 0.8. Because silhouette divides the gap between them by the larger of the two, the practical range on embedding data is roughly [−0.05, 0.10] rather than the full interval.
+
+The bands below are therefore calibrated against that observed range. On the seed board, the five ideal thematic clusters score 0.09; swapping a few notes between clusters drops it to 0.06; a scrambled assignment falls below zero.

 The score appears above the results with a plain-language band:
 
-- **0.70 and above** — Strong
-- **0.40 to 0.69** — Moderate
-- **0.10 to 0.39** — Weak
-- **Below 0.10** — Poor
+- **0.07 and above** — Strong
+- **0.04 to 0.06** — Moderate
+- **0.01 to 0.03** — Weak
+- **Below 0.01** — Poor
 
-Silhouette values are archetypically bounded below 1.0 for real-world data, so the number is best read as a relative measure. See Hugo Sträng, Tai Dinh. An upper bound on the silhouette evaluation metric for clustering. Pattern Recognition, Volume 178, 2026, 113402, ISSN 0031-3203.
+A score near 0.00 means the grouping is no better than chance. Bands are specific to `voyage-3` cosine distance and would need recalibration behind a different embedding model.

+# AI Agent Instructions: Fullstack Vite 7 (React) + Express + TypeScript + npm
+
+You are an expert AI fullstack software engineer specialized in Vite 7, React, Express, TypeScript, and modern web architectures. Follow these rules strictly when modifying this codebase.
+
+## 1. Project Structure & Context
+* **Frontend:** React SPA powered by Vite 7.x (Entry: `src/main.tsx` or client folder).
+* **Backend:** Express Node.js application (Server entry: `server.ts` or server folder).
+* **Package Manager:** npm (`package-lock.json` is the strict source of truth).
+* **TypeScript Setup:** Strict Mode enabled independently across both environments.
+
+## 2. Express Backend TypeScript Rules
+* **Typed Request/Response:** Explicitly type Express route handlers using native Express types:
+  ```typescript
+  import { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';
+  // Example for typed request bodies/params:
+  interface CreateUserBody { username: string; }
+  app.post('/user', (req: Request<{}, {}, CreateUserBody>, res: Response) => { ... });
+  ```
+* **Async Error Catching:** Always wrap async middleware/route handlers in `try/catch` and pass errors to `next(err)`. Do not let unhandled promise rejections crash the Node process.
+* **Shared Types:** If frontend and backend share types (e.g., API payloads, User models), place them in a shared directory or export them cleanly from the backend to prevent duplicating code.
+
+## 3. Frontend React + Vite Rules
+* **Component Typings:** Use standard type inference or explicit return types (`function Component(): React.JSX.Element`). Avoid the legacy `React.FC`.
+* **Strict Prop Types:** Every component must have an explicitly typed `interface` or `type` for its props. No implicit `any`.
+* **Event Handlers:** Use exact React synthetic event types (e.g., `React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>`) instead of generic native events.
+* **File Extensions:** Use `.tsx` exclusively for files containing JSX. Use `.ts` strictly for pure logic, hooks, or type definitions.
+
+## 4. Strict Code Quality & Native Guards
+* **No `any`:** Never use `any`. Use `unknown` for unpredictable runtime data (like Express `req.body` or frontend `fetch` payloads).
+* **No Validation Libraries:** Do not install Zod, TypeBox, or Yup. Write explicit, manual type predicate functions (`function isUser(obj: any): obj is User`) to safely validate runtime data incoming to both the server and client.
+* **No Enums:** Avoid TypeScript `enum`. Use string-literal unions (`type Status = 'active' | 'pending'`) or `const StatusEnum = { ... } as const`.
+
+## 5. Verification & Workflow Commands
+Before declaring a task complete, you must verify both environments compile flawlessly via npm:
+* **Install Dependencies:** `npm install`
+* **Type-Check Project:** Run the designated workspace or folder type-checking scripts (e.g., `npm run type-check` or `npx tsc --noEmit` across both roots).
+* **Build Verification:** Run production build scripts (e.g., `npm run build`) to ensure both Express asset compilation and Vite bundling pass without error.
+
+## 6. How to Respond
+* **Verify Types First:** Run type-checking commands automatically after modifying files to capture compilation breaks before presenting the solution.
+* **Targeted Diffs:** Provide concise, targeted updates. Do not rewrite whole files if only a few lines change.
+* **Self-Correct:** If a build command fails, read the compiler/Vite/Node logs, fix the root cause, and re-test before asking the user for help.
