+"""Backfill: alle noch ungeprueften Artikel gegen den Falschbehauptungsbestand
+abgleichen (Embedding-Vorfilter + LLM-Verifikation).
+
+Geht alle Lagen mit ungeprueften Artikeln durch, kleine zuerst (schnelle,
+frueh testbare Ergebnisse), grosse zuletzt. Pro Lage in Batches, damit die
+Score-Matrix (Artikel x Claims) den RAM nicht sprengt. Robust: Fehler
+einzelner Batches stoppen den Lauf nicht; bei Artikeln, die wiederholt
+scheitern (kein Fortschritt), wird die Lage abgebrochen statt endlos zu
+schleifen.
