Esc: An Early-Stopping Checker for Budget-aware Index Tuning

Summary: Introduces early stopping for budget-aware index tuning: terminate when projected remaining-budget gains fall within a user-specified quality-loss threshold. Esc cheaply estimates this point, substantially reducing what-if optimizer calls with negligible quality or runtime overhead. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
