list-negative-batches-at-40
IN premise
`api.list_negative` splits candidates into batches of 40, so 120 keyword-matching nodes produce exactly 3 LLM calls.
Summary
When the system checks candidates for negative relationships, it processes them in groups of 40 at a time. This means the number of LLM calls scales predictably — for example, 120 candidates will always result in exactly 3 calls, making costs and latency easy to estimate.
