Reproduction of DANCE: Dynamic, Available, Neighbor-gated Condensation for Federated
Text-Attributed Graphs (ICML 2026, OpenReview YhEWC2HiJl, arXiv 2601.16519).
Scope: local, single-machine (Apple M1 Pro). HF Jobs was credit-blocked (402), so the
federated 8-dataset + LLM-surrogate setting (Table 1) is out of scope; we verify the
mechanism, theory, and complexity claims, plus a single-dataset (Cora) proxy.
