+scripts/build_index.py — Precompute and persist TF-IDF index artifacts.
+
+Run this script before deployment (or during Docker build) so the server starts
+instantly without building the index from scratch on first request.
+
+Usage:
+    python scripts/build_index.py
+
+Output:
+    data/tfidf_vectorizer.pkl
+    data/tfidf_matrix.pkl
+
+Design rationale:
+    Separating index construction from serving is standard MLOps practice.
+    It means:
+    1. The server's startup time is O(file read) not O(index build).
+    2. The index build can be tested and validated independently.
+    3. In production, the build step belongs in CI/CD, not in the serving path.
+
+Interview Q: "What would you do if the catalog updates frequently?"
+A: Add this script to a nightly CI job. Rebuild and push the pkl files as artifacts.
+   The server picks them up on next restart. For near-realtime updates, switch to
+   an online learning approach or a managed vector store.

+tests/evaluate.py — Automated evaluation script for the SHL Agent.
+
+Tests all 5 required scenario types:
+  1. Vague query → clarification (no recommendations)
+  2. Clear query → recommendations (1–10 items)
+  3. Changed preference → refined results
+  4. Comparison query → grounded explanation
+  5. Off-topic → refusal (no recommendations)
+
+Usage:
+    # Against local server
+    python tests/evaluate.py --base-url http://localhost:7860
+
+    # Against deployed HF Space
+    python tests/evaluate.py --base-url https://<your-space>.hf.space
+
+The script prints a pass/fail table and exits with code 1 if any test fails.
+This makes it usable in CI/CD pipelines.
