+ * #609 — recombine / synthesize pass.
+ *
+ * A whole-corpus synthesis stage that runs AFTER consolidation and is OPT-IN
+ * (default disabled via `IMPROVE_PROCESS_DEFAULTS.recombine`). It clusters
+ * memories by RELATEDNESS (shared tags / graph entities — NEVER embedding
+ * similarity), issues ONE bounded LLM call per cluster to induce a single
+ * cross-episodic generalization, and emits the result as a NORMAL pending
+ * proposal with frontmatter `type: hypothesis` through the existing proposal
+ * queue + quality gate.
+ *
+ * Two-pass contract: the first pass ONLY ever emits `type: hypothesis`
+ * proposals — never a `type: lesson`. Promotion to a lesson happens on a later
+ * confirmation run once the same generalization has been re-induced
+ * `confirmThreshold` times (#625). The confirmation count is persisted in the
+ * `recombine_hypotheses` state.db table (migration 014), keyed by the
+ * deterministic `deriveRecombineLessonRef` value so re-induction of the SAME
+ * member-set maps back to the SAME row. When the count reaches the threshold,
+ * the run emits ONE `type: lesson` promotion proposal through the SAME proposal
+ * queue + quality gate (createProposal + validateProposalFrontmatter), NEVER a
+ * direct stash write, then marks the row promoted (resetting its count) so it is
+ * not re-promoted on every subsequent run. Hypotheses NOT re-induced in a run
+ * have their consecutive streak reset (decay-to-zero).
+ *
+ * NAMESPACE note: the ref stays `lesson:recombined/<slug>-<hash>` for BOTH
+ * passes. The ref is the promotion TARGET asset (a lesson in both the hypothesis
+ * and promoted states), so re-induction must map to the same ref and the ref
+ * cannot encode the proposal type. The hypothesis-vs-lesson distinction is
+ * carried ONLY by the proposal frontmatter `type` field. On promotion the prior
+ * pending `type: hypothesis` proposal for that ref is superseded (rejected) so
+ * the queue never shows two proposals for one ref.
+ *
+ * A justified null (the LLM determines no defensible generalization exists) is
+ * an acceptable outcome: it produces no proposal and records a
+ * `recombine_invoked` event with `outcome: 'null_returned'`.
