feat: add guide for calculating and processing pension premiums in proforma payslips

R42 was missing knowledge-graph information (e.g. pension questions)
because retrieval and context-building dropped relevant facts:

- retrieval: exact-token TF-IDF could not match Dutch compound words,
  so a "pensioen" query scored 0 against "pensioenregeling" /
  "partnerpensioen" and never retrieved them. Add a compound-word
  fallback (shared >=6-char stem or containment, 0.4x weight) alongside
  exact matching.
- rag: deep article content was only injected for verbatim-mentioned
  topics; retrieved topics contributed just a 200-char description.
  Inject ~1000 chars of content for up to 5 topics (mentions first,
  then top-ranked retrieved) and widen the description snippet to 320.
- prompts: add a NAUWKEURIGHEID block (use all relevant facts, call
  lookup_topic before giving up) and relax the 4-sentence cap for
  detail/list answers so complete facts aren't summarised away.

Also add a clear-history control: a trash button in the chat header
(confirm dialog) wipes chat🧵{userId} and reseeds the greeting
via clearThread() in useChat.

Tests: compound-word matching + rag deep-content injection. Spec updated.

+# pensioenpremie berekenen en verwerken in een proforma-loonstrook
+
+## doel
+
+Handleiding voor het handmatig berekenen en verwerken van de pensioenpremie bij het
+opstellen van een proforma-salarisspecificatie in NMBRS, wanneer de pensioengrondslag
+niet automatisch op de proforma-berekening verschijnt.
+
+## wanneer van toepassing
+
+Bij het opstellen van een proforma-loonstrook (bijvoorbeeld ter voorbereiding van een
+aanbod aan een kandidaat) toont NMBRS geen automatische pensioenpremie-regel. Deze moet
+dan handmatig worden toegevoegd volgens onderstaande methode.
+
+## benodigde gegevens vooraf
+
+Voordat je begint moet je de volgende vier parameters hebben. Geen van deze staat op de
+proforma zelf.
+
+| parameter | waar te vinden |
+| --- | --- |
+| pensioenfranchise (Respellion / a.s.r. Doen Pensioen) | `pension-scheme-and-benefits.md` of het a.s.r.-polisblad; kan afwijken van het wettelijk minimum |
+| verdeelsleutel werkgever/werknemer | `pension-scheme-and-benefits.md` of het a.s.r.-contract |
+| definitie pensioengevend salaris | a.s.r.-polisvoorwaarden — bevestig welke looncomponenten meetellen (onkostenvergoedingen in elk geval niet) |
+| fiscaal maximum pensioengevend salaris (aftoppingsgrens) | jaarlijkse publicatie belastingdienst/SZW, zie tabel hieronder |
+
+Deze vier punten waren bij het opstellen van dit document nog niet allemaal bevestigd
+voor Respellion specifiek — zie "openstaande vragen" onderaan.
+
+## rekenstappen
+
+1. **pensioengevend salaris (jaarbasis) bepalen**
+   Standaard: 12 × maandsalaris + vakantietoeslag (8%).
+   `pensioengevend salaris = 12 × bruto maandsalaris × 1,08`
+   Onkostenvergoedingen (reiskosten, telefoonvergoeding) tellen niet mee.
+
+2. **aftoppen op het fiscaal maximum**
+   `gemaximeerd pensioengevend salaris = min(pensioengevend salaris, aftoppingsgrens)`
+
+3. **franchise aftrekken**
+   `pensioengrondslag = gemaximeerd pensioengevend salaris − franchise`
+
+4. **parttimefactor toepassen**
+   `pensioengrondslag (parttime) = pensioengrondslag × parttimefactor`
+   Parttimefactor = contracturen / 40 (of de fulltime-norm die Respellion hanteert).
+
+5. **premie berekenen**
+   `jaarpremie = pensioengrondslag (parttime) × 5%`
+   `maandpremie = jaarpremie / 12`
+
+6. **verdelen werkgever/werknemer**
+   `werknemersdeel = maandpremie × werknemerspercentage`
+   `werkgeversdeel = maandpremie − werknemersdeel`
+
+## fiscale kernbedragen 2026
+
+| bedrag | waarde 2026 | bron |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| aftoppingsgrens pensioengevend salaris | € 137.800 | belastingdienst/SZW, voorlopige bedragen 2026 |
+| minimale AOW-franchise (Wtp-regelingen / beschikbare premieregelingen) | € 19.172 | belastingdienst/SZW, voorlopige bedragen 2026 |
+
+Deze twee bedragen worden jaarlijks (eind december) opnieuw gepubliceerd. Controleer bij
+elke proforma-berekening of de bedragen nog actueel zijn.
+
+## verwerking in NMBRS — fiscale nuance
+
+Het werknemersdeel van de pensioenpremie is een pre-tax inhouding:
+
+- het verlaagt de grondslag voor de loonheffing (de kolom "Tabel" op de proforma-uitdraai)
+- het verlaagt **niet** het SV-loon (de kolom "SVW" blijft ongewijzigd)
+
+Trek het werknemersdeel dus niet rechtstreeks af van het bestaande netto-bedrag. Voer de
+premie in met dezelfde paycode die in de reguliere (niet-proforma) loonrun voor
+pensioenpremie werknemer/werkgever is ingericht — controleer de codeconfiguratie in
+NMBRS (niet de bedragen) op de vlag "aftrekbaar voor loonheffing, niet voor SVW". Laat
+NMBRS de loonheffing zelf herberekenen over de verlaagde grondslag; reken dit niet
+handmatig na.
+
+Het werkgeversdeel is een werkgeverslast (vergelijkbaar met de bestaande WGA/Aof-regels
+op de proforma) en raakt het netto van de werknemer niet, wel de totale loonkosten.
+
+## rekenvoorbeeld
+
+Uitgangspunt: proforma fulltime (40 uur/week), bruto maandsalaris € 6.700, 100%
+dienstverband.
+
+1. Pensioengevend salaris (jaar): 12 × 6.700 × 1,08 = € 86.832
+2. Aftopping: 86.832 < 137.800 → geen aftopping
+3. Franchise (voorbeeld met het wettelijk minimum € 19.172 — niet bevestigd als
+   Respellion-waarde): 86.832 − 19.172 = € 67.660
+4. Parttimefactor: 100% → geen aanpassing
+5. Premie: 67.660 × 5% = € 3.383 per jaar = € 281,92 per maand
+6. Verdeling (voorbeeld 50/50 — verdeelsleutel niet bevestigd): € 140,96 werknemer,
+   € 140,96 werkgever
+
+Dit rekenvoorbeeld gebruikt aannames voor franchise en verdeelsleutel die nog niet
+bevestigd zijn voor Respellion — zie "openstaande vragen".
+
+## openstaande vragen
+
+- Exacte pensioenfranchise van de Respellion a.s.r. Doen Pensioen-regeling (mogelijk
+  hoger dan het wettelijk minimum van € 19.172).
+- Verdeelsleutel werkgever/werknemer voor de 5% premie.
+- Of vakantietoeslag standaard meetelt in het pensioengevend salaris volgens de
