A collection of fixes for the paper generation pipeline: ## Topic drift prevention (perform_icbinb_writeup.py) - Add get_topic_anchor_terms(): extract key terms from idea.json Name/Title/ Short Hypothesis to serve as topic anchors - Add latex_matches_idea(): verify generated LaTeX contains at least 2 anchor terms, preventing the LLM from drifting to unrelated topics - Writeup now retries once with explicit correction prompt if first draft drifts away from the original research idea - Add topic anchor reminder to each reflection round prompt - Add explicit anti-drift instruction in the writeup system prompt ## LaTeX compilation hardening (perform_icbinb_writeup.py) - Increase compile_latex timeout from 30s to 300s for complex papers - Add encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' to subprocess calls to prevent encoding crashes on Windows - Skip PDF compilation gracefully when pdflatex/bibtex not available - Handle FileNotFoundError for missing LaTeX binaries - Check reflection PDF exists before attempting VLM review - Fix summary file path resolution: auto-discover run log dir instead of hardcoding 'logs/0-run/' ## Review encoding fix (perform_llm_review.py) - Add encoding='utf-8' to load_review() json.load - Add errors='replace' to paper text file reading ## Plotting robustness (perform_plotting.py) - extract_code_snippet() now returns empty string instead of raw LLM text when no code block is found, preventing writing natural language as Python - Add validate_python_snippet() using compile() to catch syntax errors before running aggregator scripts - Reduce target figure count guidance (4-6 instead of ~12) for more reliable generation on resource-constrained setups - Add guidance to keep scripts compact and prefer robust numeric plots

During long paper generation runs, the LLM tends to drift away from the original research topic. This PR adds:
latex_matches_idea()validation to detect and retry drifted content
