54Extraction rules:
55- High recall bias: when uncertain, extract it. Deduplication handles redundancy.
56- One preference per facet. "prefers Rust" and "prefers NeoVim" are separate entries.
57- Cases are specific instances. Patterns are abstractions across instances.
58- Events get absolute timestamps. NEVER use "yesterday", "recently", "last week."
59- Preserve detail in abstracts.
60- Entity names should be canonical (e.g., "NeoVim" not "neovim", "SurrealDB" not "surreal").
61- Return empty arrays for categories with no relevant content.
62- Do not extract trivial entities (common shell commands, generic concepts unless specifically discussed).
63- Classify relationship confidence:
64  - explicit: Directly stated ("I use Rust", "this depends on X")
65  - inferred: Implied by context (discussed together, co-occurring)
66  - speculative: Possible connection based on domain knowledge
67  - When unsure, use "inferred""#;
