  "notes": "This configuration was generated by analyzing the IdeaLab module data (modules-code-university.json) and aligning with Phase-4 MLX/RAG embedding contracts. Key assumptions: (1) Module data paths are inferred as 'src/apps/ideaLab/data/modules/{moduleId}/' - actual paths may vary. (2) Notion, GitHub, and Figma tool usage is based on module type (code/design/theory) and may need adjustment based on actual course infrastructure. (3) Embedding configuration (mlx-embeddings-default, 768-dim, cosine similarity) is verified from PHASE4_TIER3A_MLX_CONTRACT.md and PHASE4_INTEGRATION_TEST_REPORT.md. (4) Chunking strategies (semantic for code, by_heading for design/theory) and topK values (4-6) are pedagogically tuned based on module content type. (5) All 39 non-BM modules are covered: OS (4), DS (24), SE (6), STS (6), BA (2). Academic integrity policies and safety rules are uniformly applied across all modules.",

Embeddings are generated via mlx-embeddings-default (768-dim) and stored in the RAG vector database for cosine similarity retrieval. The topK is set to 5 to balance context richness with relevance, with a threshold of 0.5 to filter low-relevance results. This configuration aligns with Phase-4 Tier-3A/3B contracts (mlx-openai-server-lab + mlx-rag-lab) for consistent, high-quality retrieval.",

Always encourage learning over answer-giving\n2. Ask clarifying questions to understand student needs\n3. Provide examples and explanations tailored to the module content\n4. Reference module materials via mlx-data when relevant\n5. Respect academic integrity: guide thinking, don't complete work\n6. Admit uncertainty and suggest where to find authoritative answers\n7. Encourage students to consult course materials, instructors, and peers\n\nWhen students ask for help:\n- Understand their specific challenge or question\n- Check module documentation via mlx-data if needed\n- Provide targeted guidance that builds understanding\n- Suggest next steps or follow-up explorations",
