…ST_PLOTS PyAutoGalaxy now routes its critical-curve/caustic overlay skip through PYAUTO_FAST_PLOTS, so the dedicated flag is retired here: removed from the default env_vars, the release.yml notebook job, and the CLAUDE.md env var reference (the PYAUTO_FAST_PLOTS bullet now documents both tight_layout and overlay skipping).

Summary
Retire the
PYAUTO_DISABLE_CRITICAL_CAUSTICSenv var from PyAutoBuild's release workflow, default env vars, and CLAUDE docs. PyAutoGalaxy now routes its critical-curve/caustic overlay skip throughPYAUTO_FAST_PLOTS, so the dedicated flag is no longer needed — it was always set in lockstep withPYAUTO_FAST_PLOTSanyway.Paired PR: PyAutoLabs/PyAutoGalaxy#340 (the actual code change). Workspace-level
env_vars.yaml/run_scripts.sh/CLAUDE.mdcleanups land in a follow-up workspace sweep.API Changes
Configuration / environment variable only — no Python API changes.
PYAUTO_DISABLE_CRITICAL_CAUSTICSis removed fromautobuild/config/env_vars.yamldefaults and from the release notebook job. The documented env var list inCLAUDE.mdnow folds the overlay-skipping behaviour into thePYAUTO_FAST_PLOTSbullet. Downstream workspace configs that still list the retired flag should drop it in their next update.See full details below.
