docs(methods): sampler-benchmarks points at the autofit inference search catalogue (search-ext A5 consumers)

[Jammy2211]

Summary

Search-extensibility A5 (consumers), ruling 6. wiki/methods/concepts/sampler-benchmarks.md gains a hand-written section, "The search catalogue — every PyAutoFit search, per task (2026-10)", pointing at autofit_inference's catalogue/search_catalogue.json at commit 3463aa19014b6bd83563018568f0fb4a2376f8eb: protocol id gaussian_x3@1, campaign task gaussian_x3_search_wave1, the three tasks and their protocol judges, "wave 1 ranks nothing", pilot coverage (223 of 520 runs) and per-search statuses (13 measured, NSS deferred, Drawer unsupported), and the embedded manifest snapshot that keys rows by registry name. Frontmatter sources names the catalogue; the methods index.md entry and the append-only log.md are updated. Last in the A5 consumers PR order (after PyAutoLabs/PyAutoHands#311 and PyAutoLabs/PyAutoBrain#523, whose samplers faculty lists the same catalogue cells).

Decisions taken (decide-and-flag)

1. The page already existed (the ruling says "one page ... add it to the methods index"): it was extended rather than created, and it was already in the methods index, whose entry now names the catalogue. No new page.
2. No benchmark verdict is added — the section says to quote no "fastest search" from wave 1.

Heart RED override

Quoted from #310 ("Heart RED override"):

The live human answered the AskUserQuestion "Invoke the Heart RED development override for this batch?" with "Yes, override for development (Recommended)" on 2026-10-15, for tasks search-ext-b5b-score, search-ext-a5-consumers and search-ext-b4b-dev-retire (this issue: search-ext-a5-consumers).

Exact RED reasons at the door (Heart verdict, 2026-10-15): "Heart: RED — Release RED; monitoring RED · 10/100 · 415 unresolved"; "[red] release validation FAILED (stage integrate)"; "[red] PyAutoHands/workflows/Python Version Matrix: failure"; "[red] PyAutoHeart/workflows/Release Integrate: failure"; "[red] PyAutoMind/workflows/Lifecycle Drift: failure"; "[red] PyAutoArray/Tests: red"; "[red] autofit_workspace_test/Smoke Tests: red"; "[red] autogalaxy_workspace_test/Smoke Tests: red"; "[red] autolens_workspace_test/Smoke Tests: red"; "[red] Release validation: NOT release_ready — v2026.10.15.1.dev81701 profile=release (2026-10-15T07:04:34+00:00)"; "[red] Worktree drift: 5 orphan / 0 missing / 4 dirty"; "[red] autolens_inference: red"; "[red] autolens_profiling: red"; "[red] euclid_strong_lens_modeling_pipeline: red"

Permitted: commit, push, PR-open. Merge stays a separate human act; no release or rehearsal; this branch does not fix Heart.

Passed branch gates (tests, smoke, review) are recorded in the PR body at ship; a failed gate cannot be overridden.

Test plan

• make validate — literature citations, structure, wikilinks all valid (no new unresolved targets).
• Tests / smoke: n/a — wiki prose only.

Ship gate

Leg	Result
1 Tests	PyAutoHands full suite 507 passed (+ test_search_roster.py 28 after the last fix); PyAutoBrain full suite 1265 passed (one test, test_grouped_organ_consumers, fails only when activate.sh exports PYAUTO_MIND, and passes in a clean env; unrelated to this diff); the doc repos have no test dir (n/a); PyAutoMemory make validate green
2 Smoke	n/a: no script in any smoke_tests.txt changed. al/ag guides/modeling/searches.py is a docstring-only edit (py_compile clean, not smoke-listed). The workspace smoke CI on these PRs is the record.
3 Review	Two independent fresh-context reviews over Hands + Brain. Round 1 was FINDINGS (1 major, 12 minor/nit, 1 status note); all fixed in Hands e720263 and Brain db0916b. Round 2 confirmed 12/13 resolved, with one partial: the installed-mode manifest could still read a source checkout via the cwd. That is fixed in Hands 5e4224e with a test. No third round was run (decide-and-flag).
4 Heart	RED. The human development override is recorded on PyAutoLabs/PyAutoHands#310 (quoted above).
Witness	6/7. ✓ --check regenerates byte-identically against the installed autofit 2026.10.12.1 in every consumer (output shown in each consumer PR). ✓ navigator --roster writes the curated llms.txt block. ✓ af/al/ag assistant blocks come from the same manifest. ✓ Brain promoted tier and gaps are keyed by manifest name and integration_test. ✓ The workspace CI search_roster job checks anchors against the installed release, not main; it goes live once Hands merges. ✓ al/ag guides are domain advice plus a matrix link. ✗ Capability matrix → B3 catalogue card link: this is in PyAutoFit docs/_generate_searches.py, which is not in this task's repos.
Firewall	PyAutoBrain needs the Mind FIREWALL_ALLOWLIST to add "autofit_inference" for agents/faculties/samplers/_samplers.py and samplers.sh. Until then the Brain PR's firewall leg is red; its pytest leg is green.
