How to run the novelty check
Set how many related papers to screen and the score you need, press Run novelty check, read the scores, open context.docx and answer the open questions, then press Approve context.docx. Approval unlocks code generation.
The concept check tells you early whether the idea is clear and has room to be a paper. Treat it as a conversation, not a grade.
