💡 What: Refactored the jaccardSimilarity utility function in src/utils/analysis-constants.ts to calculate intersection and union sizes directly without allocating new Sets or Arrays via the spread syntax.

🎯 Why: jaccardSimilarity is executed inside the deeply nested $O(N^2)$ loops of clusterNewsCore for document clustering. Creating intermediate Set and Array instances on every iteration was generating massive garbage collection overhead and dragging down processing performance during main thread or worker renders.

📊 Impact: Reduces memory allocations in the core clustering loop to exactly $O(1)$ per Jaccard comparison, significantly lowering GC pauses and speeding up the $O(N^2)$ text-similarity algorithm.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by running the clustering functions in npm run test:data and observing reduced heap usage/GC pause times in the Chromium profiler compared to master.

Note: As instructed in the Boundaries section, the request to "Make everything based on ArcGIS JavaScript API" was rejected because it fundamentally violates the constraints against making major architectural changes (the project relies entirely on Deck.gl and MapLibre GL).

Refactored `jaccardSimilarity` in `src/utils/analysis-constants.ts` to compute intersection sizes and union sizes using mathematical properties rather than allocating intermediate Sets and Arrays via spread syntax (`[...a].filter()`). This yields $O(1)$ memory allocation per call in the highly performance-critical $O(N^2)$ `clusterNewsCore` hot path, significantly reducing garbage collection overhead.

Reflected this performance learning in `.jules/bolt.md`.
