## 2026-06-29 — method overview swapped to no_results SVG, half-width, now lands on page 2

### What I did
- Copied `eef_para_comparison_concise_no_results.svg` from `scratch_files/` into `paper/figs/svg/eef_bind_no_results.svg`. No `PARA` text in the SVG (already labeled `BIND`).
- Rendered SVG → PDF on the lab box (`100.74.71.38`) using the UVA env's playwright Chromium (better font handling than cairosvg — same path I built for the earlier `eef_bind_comparison.pdf` glitch fix). viewBox 206.8 × 127.0 (aspect 1.63), PDF 1.7 MB. Rsynced back to cloud at `figs/svg/eef_bind_no_results.pdf`.
- Edited `fig:overview` block in `main.tex`:
  - Image path: `figs/svg/eef_bind_comparison.pdf` → `figs/svg/eef_bind_no_results.pdf`
  - Width: `\linewidth` → `0.5\linewidth`
  - Placement: `[t!]` → `[t]` (the `!` overrides `\suppressfloats`, see below)
- Added `\suppressfloats[t]` right after `\maketitle` to keep page 1 figure-free.
- Also dropped the `!` on `fig:real_results` (`[t!]` → `[t]`) so it respects the same suppression rule.

### Verified layout (rendered pages 1–3 at 150 DPI)
- **Page 1:** title + abstract + §1 Introduction + contributions list. **No figures.**
- **Page 2:** Fig 1 (new half-width method overview, centered) at top, Fig 2 (results_v2, full-width) below it. LaTeX packed both onto page 2 since Fig 1's half-width footprint left room. If you'd rather have Fig 2 push to page 3 too, say the word — I can force the break with `\afterpage{\clearpage}` or move Fig 2's declaration further down the source.
- **Page 3:** Fig 3 (method_details) at top, Related Work below. Unchanged.

### Compile + serve
- `compile_status.json`: `{"ok": true, "message": "Compiled successfully", "timestamp": "2026-06-29 21:40:29"}`.

### Note on the lab-side rendering
This was the first task where I needed compute on the lab (SVG→PDF via headless Chromium — cloud doesn't have playwright + the font fallback in cairosvg breaks `AppleGothic`-styled glyphs). Used the canonical UVA env at `/data2/cameron/miniconda3/envs/uva/bin/python` per the new `feedback_lab_server_compute.md` memory; rsync round-trip was sub-second.

### Still open (carried from prior days)
- Lab-server-compute migration of the paper sources themselves (cloud `main.tex` is canonical, lab is stale from Jun 18) — still waiting on your call.
- figure_maker FU5: `fig:ood` per-dx scatters need an eval-sweep regen.
- fig:trajectories cup_spill swap (3-task vs 4-task).
