53Extraction rules:
54- High recall bias: when uncertain, extract it. Deduplication handles redundancy.
55- One preference per facet. "prefers Rust" and "prefers NeoVim" are separate entries.
56- Cases are specific instances. Patterns are abstractions across instances.
57- Events get absolute timestamps. NEVER use "yesterday", "recently", "last week."
58- Preserve detail in abstracts.
59- Entity names should be canonical (e.g., "NeoVim" not "neovim", "SurrealDB" not "surreal").
60- Return empty arrays for categories with no relevant content.
61- Do not extract trivial entities (common shell commands, generic concepts unless specifically discussed)."#;
