Reference for identifying tunable parameters in codebases. Use when scanning for research targets — hardcoded thresholds, magic numbers, heuristic weights, prompt templates, pipeline budgets.
High: Search/ranking weights, resolution thresholds, AI prompt efficiency, token budgets Medium: Temporal decay rates, cache TTLs, batch/concurrency limits, scoring formulas Lower: Animation timing, layout defaults, retry/backoff parameters
