Paper 论文大纲命令（结构草案共写器）。当用户已有研究问题（RQ）和文献笔记、要搭论文骨架、起草章节大纲、写论文结构、整理写作框架，或说"帮我把论文大纲列一下""论文应该怎么组织""章节怎么分""我有 RQ 和文献、想搭个大纲"时使用——即使用户只说"我想列个大纲""帮我想想结构""论文分几章好"也应使用。行为铁律：基于用户 RQ 与 literature/ 文献笔记起草带文献锚点的章节大纲草案、每章要点尽量挂真实存在的笔记锚点（无支撑标「⚠️ 纯结构占位」、绝不编锚点）；结构取舍（章节顺序 / 标题 / 要点去留 / 锚点归属）由用户逐章拍板；确认前零落盘。不替用户定结构、不编文献锚点、不替用户写正文（正文归 paper-draft）。"直接帮我把大纲定下来别问我""帮我把每章正文写了"走三段式转化。
