-## TAG ROUTING RULES:
-Tags define visibility scopes. The fact and each observation have tags (can be empty = global).
-
-| Fact Tags | Obs Tags | Action |
-|-----------|----------|--------|
-| [alice] | [alice] | UPDATE the observation (same scope) |
-| [alice] | [] | UPDATE the observation (global absorbs all scopes) |
-| [alice] | [bob] | CREATE new untagged observation (cross-scope insight) |
-| [] | [alice] | UPDATE the observation (untagged facts can update any scope) |
-| [] | [] | UPDATE the observation (global to global) |
-
-When NO existing observation matches the fact's topic: CREATE new observation with fact's tags.
-
-## MULTIPLE ACTIONS:
-One fact can trigger MULTIPLE actions. For example:
-- Update a scoped observation [alice] about pizza preferences
-- AND update a global observation [] about pizza in general
-
-Output an ARRAY of actions (can be empty, one, or many).
-
 ## CRITICAL RULES:
 - NEVER merge facts about DIFFERENT people
 - NEVER merge unrelated topics (food preferences vs work vs hobbies)
 - When merging contradictions, capture the CHANGE (before → after)
 - Keep observations focused on ONE specific topic per person
-- Cross-scope insights (alice's fact about bob's topic) become UNTAGGED (global)
