+**`confidence`** describes how the *type* was arrived at. It never says anything
+about whether the span is masked — every detection is, at every level.
+
+| value | meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `"high"` | a pattern matched and, where one exists, its checksum passed |
+| `"medium"` | the type comes from a label touching the span, because no pattern of that type claimed it — `Αρ. Ταυτότητας: 00892341` is a `NATIONAL_ID` although nothing can checksum it |
+| `"low"` | a pattern matched, its checksum *failed*, and the document labels the span as that very type — `Rijksregisternummer: 85.03.19-284.73` is a national number with a bad check digit |
+
+Filter on it when you need only checksum-backed detections:
+
+```ts
+const strict = result.detections.filter(d => d.confidence === "high");
+```
+
+A `"low"` detection is the honest description of a mistyped, OCR'd or invented
+identifier: the shape and the label agree, the check digit does not. Earlier
+versions dropped these, which meant a redaction library printed in full an
+identifier it had recognised and rejected.

+`INTERNAL_ID` — an employee, badge or customer number tied to a person — is
+emitted **only** when an explicit label names it (`medarbejdernummer:`,
+`Personalnummer:`, `Employee No:`). There is no pattern for one, because there
+is no shape for one: without the label, a digit run is not distinguishable from
+any other. The type exists so that a labelled employee number is filed
+correctly instead of being claimed by the phone pattern.
+
 For custom patterns, `entityType` is a plain string (e.g. `"EMPLOYEE_ID"`).

+/**
+ * Local cues: what the document calls the value sitting next to it.
+ *
+ * A label touching the left edge of a span is the strongest statement a
+ * document makes about what that value *is*. "Phone: 0705237535" is a phone
+ * number even though those digits pass the Swedish personnummer checksum, and
+ * "Αρ. Ταυτότητας: 00892341" is an identity-card number even though nothing in
+ * the engine can checksum it.
+ *
+ * This table is the single source of that knowledge. Three callers read it, and
+ * none of them may move a span:
+ *
+ * 1. `localCueBonus` — ranks a candidate above its rivals on the *same span*
+ *    when the cue names its type. The oldest use, and why the table exists.
+ * 2. `detectWithEvidence` — re-admits a candidate whose checksum failed when the
+ *    cue names that same type. A declined identifier with its own label in front
+ *    of it is still that identifier, mistyped or truncated.
+ * 3. `retypedBy` — relabels a winning generic candidate whose type the cue
+ *    contradicts, when nothing of the cued type claimed the span.
+ *
+ * Consolidated here from two places that had drifted apart: `LOCAL_CUES` in
+ * `engine.ts` (typed, but missing most of Europe) and `ID_LABEL_BEFORE` in
+ * `suppressors.ts` (broader, but untyped — it could only *delete* a phone
+ * candidate, which left the value unmasked).
+ *
+ * Kept character-for-character in step with `euredact/rules/cues.py`. Two
+ * constructs are written the way they are so that both engines agree:
+ *
+ * * Boundaries are `(?<![A-Za-z0-9_])`, not `\b`. JavaScript's `\b` is
+ *   ASCII-only, so `\bΑΦΜ` never matches — a Greek letter is not a word
+ *   character there, and a space before it is not a transition. A boundary of
+ *   some kind is required regardless: without one the short alternatives match
+ *   the *tail* of an ordinary word. "NIS" matched "tālru**nis**", the Latvian
+ *   for telephone, and suppressed 653 real phone numbers; "iva" matched
+ *   "Pr**iva**t:" and read a personal e-mail address as a VAT number.
+ * * The qualifier class is spelled out rather than written `[^\W\d_]`, which
+ *   would reject "εταιρειας" here for the same ASCII reason.
+ *
+ * Every label ends in `(?:\w*|\s+<one word>)`: the label either runs on into a
+ * longer word ("telefoon" → "telefoonnummer") **or** takes one qualifier word
+ * naming whose identifier it is ("ΑΦΜ εταιρειας:", "Tel Nr:") — never both.
+ * Allowing both let "nie" grow into the surname "Nieminen" and then swallow the
+ * real label in "Matti Nieminen\nDOB: 08.05.1994", reading a date of birth as a
+ * Spanish NIE: 52 false positives across the corpus.
