  Bug Connectome Project (product name: Insectome) is a local multi-species
  insect connectome studio. It federates provenance-tracked packs from public
  sources (neuPrint, CREMI, Insect Brain Database), prioritizes LEVEL-0/1 reuse
  over re-segmentation, streams EM remotely under a bounded cache, and ships a
  static GitHub Pages snapshot for browsing catalogs and sparse morphology.
