 # Figures Index
 
-No generated figures are committed by this script. Batch-specific figures should be generated from:
+Generated by:
 
-- `analysis/characterization/analyze.py` for Batch 0/1 trace figures.
-- future Batch 2 step-timeline artifacts for interference plots.
-- future Batch 3 per-worker/session artifacts for hot-spot plots.
-- future Batch 4 arrival-rate sweep artifacts for SRR curves.

-This file exists so the audit package has a stable placeholder until fresh figures are generated.

+| [fig_session_skew.png](figures/fig_session_skew.png) | Session input-token mass is highly skewed; top sessions dominate work. |
