+openalex_citation_crawler.py
+
+BFS citation graph crawler using the OpenAlex API — completely free, no key,
+50 req/sec in the polite pool (just pass your email as mailto= param).
+
+Also provides a Barabási-Albert synthetic graph for instant offline testing
+when no network is available (or when you just want a known structure).
+
+Feeds into pagerank_eigenvalue_survey.run_survey() for spectral bin analysis.
+
+Usage:
+  # Real citation graph (online):
+  python openalex_citation_crawler.py --seed "PageRank Brin Page 1998" --hops 2
+
+  # Synthetic scale-free graph (offline, instant):
+  python openalex_citation_crawler.py --synthetic --nodes 300
+
+  # Save and survey:
+  python openalex_citation_crawler.py --seed "HITS Kleinberg 1999" --hops 2 --out hits_graph.json
+
+Requires: requests, networkx, scipy, numpy
