Cost: bounded Gemini thinking on every call (default low), figure mining off by default; one-shot config migration

Merge the 17 Sep "more papers" lanes onto the hotfix line; parallel ingestion; throughput knobs

discovery: NASA NTRS lane (search_ntrs), on by default

migration: re-key material_key without a self-join on id

More papers: budget-aware sources, frontier rotation, schema gate, topic walk, S2 bulk, datasheets, query grid

Figure & graph mining in the autonomous cycle: figures.py + Postgres port, crops stored in DB, review UI
