PackageBuilder: Querying for packages of tuples

Summary: PackageBuilder extends query engines to generate packages—tuples curated under global constraints (e.g., total calories) rather than individual predicates. It adds SQL-style package predicates and an interactive interface to load data, explore packages, and refine queries via user feedback. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
