      description: 'Top-level problem clusters, RIC-scored, most impactful first. Each theme rolls up

        one or more buildable features. Filter by status, product scope, date, or search

        text. Evidence filters recompute `insight_count`, `unique_customer_count`, and

        `deal_blocker_count` from distinct canonical evidence across the theme and its

        active features; themes with no matching evidence are omitted.


        Search is lexical by default: the complete `q` value must occur as one

        case-insensitive substring in the theme title or description. Set

        `search_mode=semantic` to match by meaning instead. Semantic results are ordered

        by similarity descending, then immutable theme ID; this relevance order overrides

        `sort`. If query embedding generation is unavailable, the request returns `503`

        by default. Set `allow_fallback=true` to permit lexical fallback. Always inspect

        the response''s `search_mode` and `min_similarity` fields to determine what was

        applied.


        By default, merged themes are excluded. Set `include_retired=true` to add valid

        merged themes to the selected status set. Each returned merged theme has a

        `replacement_theme_id` that points directly to the final surviving theme; callers

        never need to follow a chain. Search and other filters still apply to the retired

        theme''s own stored record and evidence.


        The default response is CURATED, not a census: each team has an adaptive

        size floor, computed nightly from that team''s own distribution, and very

        small items below it are excluded — the same set the ClosedLoop AI app

        shows. `pagination.total` counts the curated set. Set `show_all=true` for

        every row regardless of size. Teams with too little data to compute a

        floor are never filtered.


        A theme''s size is measured through its live features, so the floor cannot

        be evaluated for a finished theme. `status=shipped` and

        `status=declined` therefore return their rows in full, unfiltered by

        size. `include_retired=true` exempts only the retired rows it adds —

        the live themes alongside them stay filtered.

        `/features` differs — a feature is sized by its own insight count, so its

        floor applies whatever its status.'
