Set up Git LFS for large PDFs; restore Balch (142 MB)

- git lfs migrate import --above=50MB --everything: converted the two
  Kretsch papers (80 MB and 72 MB) to LFS pointers in history (rewrites
  past commits to store the binary in LFS instead of the regular pack).
- Track assets/pdfs/Balch_NatComm_2026.pdf via .gitattributes so the
  142 MB telomerase paper goes to LFS too. Restored from local backup
  and pointed the publication entry back at the local path.
- Other PDFs (under 50 MB) stay as regular blobs — well within
  GitHub's recommended size and don't justify the LFS bandwidth cost.

Note: this rewrites history, so the next push needs --force-with-lease.
