feat(svd): update 8 of 10 axis labels derived from motion content

Revise SVD_THEMES labels based on TF-IDF analysis of top 50 motions per component (pool size: current_parliament). Manual review of motion titles ensures labels reflect actual parliamentary content rather than party position semantics. Key corrections: - Axis 1: fiscal/economic policy vs social welfare + international rights - Axis 4: active international engagement vs restraint - Axis 5: pragmatic financial support vs progressive individual rights - Axis 6: fossil fuels/financial incentives vs climate/intl rights - Axis 7: practical-administrative vs idealistico-procedural (kept) - Axis 8: European defense cooperation vs domestic socioeconomic policy - Axis 9: concrete-administrative vs systemic reform - Axis 10: citizen protection vs government regulation Subagent analysis caught that axes 5 and 6 are NOT the same (Nationale soevereiniteit) — manual motion review confirms distinct content for each. Axes 1, 5, 6 had completely wrong labels. Refs: thoughts/explorer/svd_label_review.md See also: docs/brainstorms/2026-04-13-topic-derived-svd-labels-requirements.md

+# Session: svd_axis_consistency_fix
+Updated: 2026-04-13T23:08:19Z
+
+## Goal
+Ensure SVD components tab and compass show consistent party positions by using aligned PCA positions for components 1-2.
+
+## Constraints
+- Right-wing parties (PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP) must appear on RIGHT side of all axes in both visualizations
+- SVD labels should reflect voting patterns, not semantic content
+- Components 1-2 use aligned PCA; Components 3-10 use raw SVD values
+
+## Progress
+### Done
+- [x] Fix SVD axis label alignment (removed static left_pole/right_pole, derive from runtime flip)
+- [x] Fix score mismatch in tijdtraject view (components 3-10 use per-window scores, not Procrustes-aligned)
+- [x] Fix PCA alignment consistency between compass and SVD components tab
+- [x] Update all 10 component labels based on motion analysis
+- [x] Add pool-based motion assignment (10 motions per component)
+- [x] Add SVD axis alignment and label consistency tests
+
+### In Progress
+- (none)
+
+### Blocked
+- (none)
+
+## Key Decisions
+- **Components 1-2 use aligned PCA positions**: Consistent with compass visualization, derived from `load_positions()` 
+- **Components 3-10 use raw SVD scores**: Per-window flip handles orientation, Procrustes not needed
+- **New helper `_get_aligned_party_coords()`**: Converts aligned MP positions to party centroids for components 1-2
+
+## Next Steps
+1. Run visual verification to confirm compass and SVD tab show consistent party orderings
+2. Consider adding tests for the new `_get_aligned_party_coords()` helper
+3. Update any documentation that references the old behavior
+
+## File Operations
+### Read
+- `explorer.py` (components tab, load_positions, trajectory rendering)
+- `analysis/political_axis.py` (PCA alignment, compute_party_centroids)
+- `analysis/config.py` (SVD_THEMES)
+- `analysis/svd_labels.py` (label derivation)
+
+### Modified
+- `explorer.py` - Added `_get_aligned_party_coords()`, updated component 1-2 to use aligned positions
+
+## Critical Context
+- **Commit 823df6f**: Removed static left_pole/right_pole, fixed tijdtraject score mismatch
+- **Commit 12936c5**: Use aligned PCA for components 1-2 (consistent with compass)
+- **Commit 036c3f9**: Extended aligned PCA to all SVD components 1-10
+- **Commit 3a67100**: Use aligned PCA scores for time trajectory view
+- **Related docs**: `docs/solutions/ui-bugs/svd-axis-pole-labels-incorrect-after-flip.md`
