From f0529d2d01748d389cc42f073e90425a395d2371 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hallada Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2026 17:52:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Show any-article nearest neighbours and widen the format/kind vocabularies The article dashboard page gains a "Nearest articles (any)" table: the ten closest stored embeddings by cosine, regardless of rating or run, via a brute-force scan of article_embeddings. The deep-assessment format facet grows from 5 to 14 values (code_repository, documentation_reference, tool_or_product_page, discussion_thread, paper_or_report, interview_or_transcript, video_or_podcast, fiction_or_humor, other) and the triage kind from 10 to 16 (repo, docs, discussion, paper, media, fiction), so a GitHub repository is no longer forced into analysis_essay. Both prompt versions bump to 2.
