Add GeminiAdapter calling Google's Generative Language REST API (default model: gemini-2.5-flash). Register "gemini" as third provider in the factory and CLI. Add rate-limit retry with exponential backoff to the pipeline's _call_llm helper. Increase default max_tokens from 2000 to 4096. Process book-1-chapter-05 via Gemini free tier — 1 new entity extracted (necessaries-conveniencies-and-amusements-of-life), 41 existing entities correctly skipped by dedup. Canonical set now at 42 unique entities. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## Definition
|
|
This collective term refers to the various goods and services that individuals desire and consume to sustain and improve their well-being. Adam Smith uses it to describe the ultimate objects of human enjoyment and, by extension, what wealth enables a person to acquire. The ability to command these items, rather than merely possessing money or commodities, is presented as the true measure of a person's richness or poverty.

### System 5 (S5) — Policy / Identity
|
|
|
|
The policy-making body that balances demands from Systems 3 and 4 and defines the identity, values, and purpose of the organisation. System 5 provides closure to the whole system and represents its supreme authority.

|
|
|
**In economic terms:** Sovereign authority, constitutional principles governing economic policy, national economic identity, the philosophical foundations of economic systems (mercantilism vs. free trade), the overarching purpose of the commonwealth.
|

**Key properties:** Identity, ethos, supreme command, policy closure, balancing internal and external perspectives.

## Mapping Rationale
|
|
|
|
"Necessaries, Conveniencies, and Amusements of Life" represents the fundamental *purpose* and ultimate *goal* of the entire economic system described by Adam Smith. This aligns directly with VSM System 5, which is responsible for defining the *identity, values, and purpose* of a viable system. Just as System 5 establishes the raison d'être for an organization, these "necessaries" define *why* an economy exists and what it ultimately strives to provide for its members. They are the overarching policy objective and the measure by which the system's success (or richness/poverty) is judged.
