We present AdaGraph, a graph-native clustering algorithm born from the Structure-Centric Machine Learning (SC-ML) paradigm -- a new field of unsupervised learning that replaces geometry-centric (distance-based) computation with structure-centric (topology-based) computation, fundamentally dissolving the curse of dimensionality. AdaGraph operates entirely within the kNN graph topology, a representation that retains meaningful relational structure in arbitrarily high dimensions where Euclidean distance metrics become uninformative. AdaGraph requires no a priori specification of the number of clusters k, handles noise natively, and scales via the SLCD (Sample-Learn-Calibrate-Deploy) prototype-deployment framework. As its unsupervised tuning objective, AdaGraph pairs with Graph-SCOPE, the topology-based cluster validity index introduced as a separate SC-ML contribution. On 10 synthetic benchmarks spanning d=10 to d=5000, Graph-SCOPE achieves mean ARI=0.900 and correctly selects k on 9/10 datasets -- outperforming Silhouette, Davies-Bouldin, and Calinski-Harabasz -- while maintaining Kendall tau >= 0.92 with ground-truth cluster quality across all dimensionalities (Silhouette: tau ~= 0.46). We validate AdaGraph across three scientific domains: (1) gene co-expression discovery in hepatocellular carcinoma (GSE14520, 10,000 genes, 488 patients, no dimensionality reduction), where AdaGraph identifies condition-specific gene modules that WGCNA, ICA, NMF, and Spectral Biclustering fail to resolve; (2) natural language text clustering, where AdaGraph achieves ARI=0.751 on 20NG-6cat versus HDBSCAN's 0.464 (62% relative improvement); (3) materials science clustering of superconductors (145-dimensional Magpie features), perovskites, and JARVIS-DFT materials, where AdaGraph achieves the highest Graph-SCOPE on all three datasets.
