So two same-photo segments are never merged regardless of embedding similarity or threshold, encoding the central finding from the investigation (same-photo pairs score deceptively high from shared lighting/exposure).\n\n## Design choices\n\n- **Single-linkage** (any one qualifying cross-photo pair merges clusters, transitively) per the issue's technical approach — lets one strong bridging pair rescue a weak-anchor segment. Known chaining trade-off is left as a `threshold`/mode lever for the integration follow-up.\n- **Full cosine formula** rather than assuming normalized inputs; tested with both normalized and unnormalized vectors.\n- **Deterministic output**: clusters ordered by smallest member index, indices ascending — no map-iteration flakiness (asserted over 50 runs).\n- `Match` is pure: no I/O, no global state, input not mutated.\n\n## Tests (TDD, written first)\n\nCosine: identity, orthogonal, opposite, unnormalized colinear, normalized, zero-vector, length mismatch, empty.

The documented denylist calls out `$(...)` but the actual matcher is broader.\n\n## How to avoid\n\nWhen composing `git commit -m` (or any Bash arg) under the dispatch policy, keep the message plain prose: **no parentheses, no angle brackets, no pipes/semicolons/ampersands** even inside quotes. Rephrase \"X (details)\" as \"X — details\" or \"X, details\". Also the known ones: skip the `Co-Authored-By: Name <email>` trailer (angle brackets), use repeated `-m` flags instead of newlines, one command per call.\n\nThis compounds across every dispatched repo that writes commits — worth generalizing beyond parallax.\n", "filename": "dispatch-bash-policy-parentheses-commit-msg", "hall": "failures", "wing": "homelab"}, "name": "mcp__brain__brain_write", "turn": 66, "type": "tool_use"}

{"text": "Done. Summary of what I did for issue #15:\n\n## Outcome\n\n**Branch:** `feat/identity-segment-matcher` · **PR:** [#16](https://git.d-ma.be/mathias/parallax/pulls/16) · **CI:** run #18 `success` (`task check` = golangci-lint + go vet + go test -race, all green on PR head).\n\n## What I built\n\nA new pure-Go package `internal/identity` (TDD — tests written and watched fail first):\n\n- **`CosineSimilarity(a, b []float64)`** — full cosine formula (callers needn't pre-normalize); returns 0 for degenerate inputs (length mismatch, empty, zero-magnitude vectors).\n- **`Match(segments []Segment, threshold float64) []Cluster`** — single-linkage clustering via union-find over pairwise cosine similarity, **restricted to cross-photo pairs only**. Same-photo segments are structurally excluded from the comparison loop, so the \"never merge same-photo segments\" guarantee holds regardless of similarity or threshold — the central finding from the investigation.\n- Deterministic output (clusters by smallest index, indices ascending; asserted stable over 50 runs), pure function (no I/O, no global state, input not mutated).\n\nAll 9 success criteria are covered by explicit tests, including the same-photo guard (artificial cosine 1.0), transitivity, and the empty/single/all-one-photo edge cases.
