Source: task/chunk-large-thread-candidates (plan/steward-linker-quality) — content.js sent all candidates in one call, the server capped at 100, and names past the cap were permanently null-cached and never retried — silently breaking large threads.
- content.js: resolve the per-scan ask set in batches of BATCH (100, <= server MAX_CANDIDATES) via a new pure Extract.chunk helper, so every candidate is actually answered and none is dropped by the resolver's slice.
- content.js: cache only keys actually present in a response (hasOwnProperty); cap-overflow / partial-error / resolver-down names are left out of `resolved` and retried next scan instead of stuck at null.
- extract.js: add pure chunk(arr, size) on the RSLExtract global; extract.test.cjs covers exact-multiple, remainder, under-size, empty, and lossless in-order concatenation.
