JCA.weakest_link() scores each owned joker's total synergy against the
rest of the board (same capped scoring the shop advice uses) and returns
the lowest scorer — only when the board is full (that's when a cut
decision exists), has 3+ jokers, and one joker actually stands out
(uniform boards return nil). The owned-joker tooltip gains a red
'Weakest combo piece - a sell candidate' verdict line, suppressed in
learning mode like the other verdicts. Config toggle: sell_advisor.

While hovering a shop/pack joker (or an owned one), the owned jokers it
synergizes with juice gently every ~0.9s, so the tooltip's partner names
are matched to cards by eye. Partner set is computed once per hover and
dropped when it ends. New config toggle: partner_highlight (default on);
stays active in learning mode since it explains rather than judges.

Warning-only data in synergies.lua — never touches the synergy score.
Tooltips gain a red 'Clashes - <owned joker>: <why>' line when a hovered
joker fights one you own (Ride the Bus + Pareidolia, Vampire vs Steel
Joker/Lucky Cat, Smeared vs Flower Pot), and a 'Caution:' line in the
buy area for jokers that harm a board you keep (Ceremonial Dagger,
Madness, Stencil). Learning mode keeps warnings — they teach.

Any xMult joker used to pulse 'recommended' on a board of four unrelated
+Mult/+Chips jokers: the generic engine-complement +1 in JCA.score
accumulated once per owned joker in partners_for, reaching the threshold
of 4 with zero listable partners (pairwise scores never hit 2), so the
card pulsed while its own tooltip said 'No synergy with your jokers.'
- partners_for now counts the generic +1 once per candidate. Tag/pair
scores are even, so the generic bonus can no longer flip a
recommendation at all; a pulsing card always has a nameable partner.
- Joker Stencil is the one xMult joker the generic rule actively
misreads (its multiplier grows with EMPTY slots), so entries support
{no_generic = true} which suppresses the rule in score() and the
generic fallback lines in explain(). Stencil also gains copy_target:
its real famous synergy is being copied by Blueprint/Brainstorm.

A synergy theme counts as explored the first time two different
fielded jokers connect it (one gives the tag, one wants it; cluster
members carry both sides, so any two qualify). Explored themes
persist in config.themes_found, badge their catalog page with
"explored!", and feed a per-tab progress line. One toast per
emplacement, with famous pairs outranking themes.

Steamodded mod that teaches Balatro joker synergies: hover tooltips
explain why jokers combo (famous-pair blurbs + tag-based reasons),
combo discovery tracking with catalog grey-out and run recap, an
in-game synergy catalog with real card sprites, learning mode, and
a HUD shortcut.
