Adds guidance to skills/al_configure_search.md so the assistant actively chooses iterations_per_quick_update rather than defaulting it, ensuring the user always gets early, regular fit/sample inspection without visualisation overhead dominating throughput.

  • ~500–1000 interactive default; lower for slow/expensive likelihoods (large MGE, pixelised source, GPU-batched, high n_live); raise (~2500–5000) only for very fast likelihoods.
  • Calls out the failure mode (high value on a heavy fit → nothing to inspect for an hour).
  • Notes HPC/batch runs: the same value governs what a sync pull surfaces — pick it before submitting.

al_configure_search: prompt the assistant to actively pick
iterations_per_quick_update so the user always gets early, regular fit/sample
inspection without visualisation overhead dominating throughput. Rules of thumb
(lower for slow/expensive likelihoods e.g. big MGE / pixelised / GPU / high
n_live; raise only for very fast likelihoods), and the HPC note that the same
value governs what a sync pull surfaces — pick it before submitting.
