claude 569991bb15 pattern: a burst of taps is not a routine (V-468)
Detect had no floor on the interval. Four events minutes apart give gaps
near 0.002 days, every one of them inside the ±50% band, so it proposed a
routine and PhraseRoutine called it "каждый день".

UNIQUE(action, object) makes that unrecoverable: dismissing the bogus
proposal burns the pair, and the real routine behind it can never be
proposed again. It also made hand-QA unsafe — seeding a pattern with four
chat turns poisoned the pair being tested.

The floor is two hours against the median, not a day, because meals, water
and breaks are genuine several-times-a-day habits.

// pair. The old extremes test asked "is every gap similar to every other gap",
// which is a different and much more brittle question: 7, 7, 7, 7, 20 is four

// centre, half the intervals are inside it by construction, so anything at or
// below 0.5 would accept noise. 5, 8, 10, 3 has a median of 6.5 and only two
// of four gaps in band, so it stays what it is — irregular, no routine.
//
// At the MinEvents floor (three intervals) 0.7 demands all three, which is
// right: four events is already the cheapest bar and there is no room in it to
// also forgive an outlier. Tolerance starts at five intervals, where 4/5 passes.

// coincidence with a mean. Two gaps of similar length happen constantly:
// water the plants on a Sunday, again the next Sunday, once more the Sunday
// after, and a detector with a ±50% band calls that a weekly routine. The
// cost of being wrong is asymmetric now that the digestion tick scans all of
// history on its own schedule and can announce what it finds: a false
// positive is something the owner has to read and dismiss, and a dismissal
// is permanent, so one bad guess burns that action+object pair forever.
// Three intervals is the cheapest bar that makes a run distinguishable from
// a repeat. False negatives cost one more observation and nothing else.

// 0.002 days. They all sit inside the ±50% band by construction, so the
// detector proposed a routine and PhraseRoutine worded it as "каждый день"
// (Vikunja #468). The damage outlives the mistake: UNIQUE(action, object)
// means dismissing the bogus proposal burns that pair permanently, so the real
// routine behind it can never be proposed again.
//
// Two hours rather than a day, because a genuine habit can run several times a
// day — meals, water, a break. Anything faster than that is not a habit she
// should be proposing to remind him about; the loop rules already cover that
// range, and they are rules, not guesses. It is checked against the median, so
// one quick repeat inside a real rhythm still counts.
//
// The other half of this is that hand-QA of the detector was unsafe: seeding a
// pattern the obvious way, four chat turns in a row, poisoned the very pair
// being tested.

// MaxIntervalRatio of the median interval
//
// The reported IntervalDays is the median of the ON-PATTERN intervals only.
