N-body simulations demonstrate runaway GW BBH mergers in dense BH clusters (≥5×10^9 M⊙/pc³) produce ~10³ M⊙ IMBHs within 10 Myr.
Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.
High-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations find that major mergers do not trigger sustained super-Eddington black hole accretion in low-mass halos when feedback is included; episodes occur only immediately after seeding or with feedback disabled.
