Use when the user wants to evolve an ML model/program through population-based search rather than a single sequential refine loop — a generational evolution where parallel proposers each apply one small SEARCH/REPLACE diff to a parent, scored by a cascade-evaluated training run, and children are kept in a MAP-Elites archive across islands (with migration + checkpointing) so diverse high performers survive. A finite, bounded-parallelism re-creation of AlphaEvolve/OpenEvolve, bent for ML autoresearch. Runs to a fixed compute budget or until interrupted. Not for the sequential single-thread autoresearch loops (one change → measure → keep/revert), and not for verifying a known bug or external claim — this is parallel, diversity-preserving search over a program.
