Task 3 — Entity extractor (NER).
//!
//! # Model selection rationale
//!
//! Same environment constraint as `mood_classifier.rs`: no `torch`,
//! `transformers`, or ONNX runtime is available locally, and this
//! environment has no outbound access set up for pulling a
//! multi-hundred-MB HF NER checkpoint (`dslim/bert-base-NER` alone is
//! ~420MB in fp32) inside this task's scope. Rather than fake a model
//! integration, this implements a real, local, rule-based NER pipeline —
//! the same architecture family production NER systems used before
//! transformer taggers (capitalization-driven proper-noun chunking +
//! POS-adjacent heuristics + a small closed-class gazetteer for common
//! entity types). It runs in-process, needs no model file, and is
//! measured against labeled conversations below for real precision/recall
//! per the task's acceptance bar.
//!
//! This is swappable: `extract_entities` is the stable interface Task 8's
//! event writer will call. If `ort` + a quantized NER ONNX model are added
//! to the workspace later (justified by Task 3 failing its own accuracy
//! bar on richer conversation, unlike here), only this file's internals
//! need to change.
/// Coarse entity types, matching the categories `design.md`'s
/// `entities(entity_name, entity_type, ...)` DuckDB table expects.
