Panels send the thinking off switch on Auto with sized output limits and a thinking watchdog. They list only the variables a request is about. They name wildcard names that two items share, recheck Add for a second concept, stop looping text answers early and ask again for a variable the request names. New scripts/ai_panel_evals.py; the 9B goes from 31/36 to 35/36 checks at 2.4x the speed.
