/**
 * Text/file-similarity primitives for the fuzzy ("similar enough to merge")
 * dedup tier. Byte-identical copies of these four helpers lived in both
 * halves of the pipeline — the auditor's same-lens/cross-lens merge passes
 * (src/audit/reporting/mergeFindings.ts) and the remediator's cross-lens
 * dedup (src/remediate/dedup/crossLensDedup.ts) — sitting right alongside
 * the severityRank/confidenceRank/findingIdentityKey imports both already
 * pulled from `audit-tools/shared`. Single-sourced here so the two fuzzy
 * layers can never silently drift on what "similar enough" means.
 *
 * Deliberately separate from findingIdentitySignature.ts: that module owns
 * the deterministic EXACT-match identity ladder; this one is the fuzzy layer
 * consulted only when the exact-match signature does not already collapse
 * two findings.
