Outline Budgeter (NO PROSE)

Triggers & routing

• Trigger: outline budget, merge sections, too many sections, H3 explosion, 大纲预算, 合并小节, 大纲太碎.
• Use when: outline/outline.yml exists but would produce thin sections (too many H2/H3); before (or immediately after) section-mapper.

Purpose: prevent the most common survey failure mode: H3 explosion (too many tiny subsections) leading to a thin, outline-like PDF.

This skill rewrites outline/outline.yml into a paper-like budget:

• Final ToC target: ~6–8 H2 sections (Intro / Related Work + 3–4 core chapters + Discussion + Conclusion)
• H3 target: fewer, thicker subsections (per draft_profile: course_paper<=6, survey<=10, deep<=12)

Important: Discussion/Conclusion are appended in C5 merge (global sections), so the outline itself should usually be <=6 H2.
