+## 2026-05-30 - [Optimize Synthetic Embedding Generation]
+**Learning:** Hashing for every dimension in high-dimensional vectors (e.g., 1536) is extremely CPU-intensive. A single SHA-256 hash can be used to seed a fast PRNG (like Mulberry32) to generate deterministic vectors with ~100x better performance.
+**Action:** Use PRNGs seeded by a single hash for deterministic high-dimensional data generation instead of repeated hashing.
+
+## 2026-05-30 - [Performance vs Correctness in Utility Functions]
+**Learning:** Optimizing general-purpose utility functions like `cosineSimilarity` by assuming normalized unit vectors can lead to regressions for non-unit vectors.
+**Action:** Preserve correctness for general-purpose utilities even when most callers use unit vectors, or provide specialized fast-path versions if necessary.
