Cognitive budget principle borrowed from graphics frame budgets: decompose work into focused passes (TMS pass, RAG pass, merge pass) each within the model's attention budget. Mixing beliefs and document chunks in a single prompt degrades performance (Opus drops 95.5% to 86%); three focused passes achieve 100%
