- Start condenser vacuum pump at init; turn it off while the retention
tank return valve is open (ejector has no suction during drain) and
restart when the drain completes
- Start condenser circulation pump at 25% (was never running); prevents
excessive cooling of return water per manual §Stabilization
- Drop primary pump hill-climb sweep: effect is negligible vs rod control
and was masked by xenon transients; set fixed 65% for better heat transfer
- Raise auto temp-setpoint ceiling from 360 °C to 375 °C for more power headroom
- Raise condenser fill upper threshold from 50 % to 60 % (more reserve for secondary pumps)
- Add CONDENSER_VACUUM to state reads and TUI display (with colour alarm)

Full classical operator in scripts/reactor_control.py: rod control with
criticality feedforward, per-train MSCV/pump management, grid-demand
following with proportional cap distribution, pressurizer spray valve,
condenser and retention tank aux controllers, and a live curses TUI with
keyboard-driven target/setpoint adjustment.
