+### New Parameters (Phase 13.12–13.14.DF)
+
+#### same=True — Plot Superposition (Phase 13.13.DF, AD-15)
+
+Available on all draw methods: `draw()`, `hist()`, `scatter()`, `profile()`, `hist2d()`, `hexbin()`.
+
+```python
+same: bool = False
+```
+
+When `True`:
+- Reuses last axes (`self._last_ax`) or falls back to `plt.gca()`
+- Auto-increments colors from palette (AD-16)
+- Auto-generates label from expression (AD-17)
+- Appends to title when `auto_title=True` (AD-18)
+- Shows legend automatically
+
+Precedence: `ax=` wins over `same=True`. Explicit `color=`, `label=`, `title=` override auto-features.
+
+#### auto_title — Automatic Title (Phase 13.12.DF v1.2)
+
+Available on: `hist()`, `profile()`, `hist2d()`, `hexbin()`.
+
+```python
+auto_title: Union[bool, str] = False
+```
+
+Values:
+- `False`: no auto-title (default, or from style)
+- `True` / `"all"`: "y vs x  group:group_by  weights:w\nselection"
+- `"expr"`: "y vs x" only
+- `"expr+group"`: "y vs x  group:group_by"
+- `"expr+sel"`: "y vs x\nselection"
+
+Explicit `title=` always overrides `auto_title`.
+
+#### Profile-Specific Parameters (Phase 13.12.DF)
+
+```python
+return_data: bool = False       # F1: Include profile DataFrame in stats_dict
+min_entries: int = 3            # F2: Min entries per bin to plot (AD-1)
+group_by_bins: int = None       # F3: Equal-width bins for float group_by
+group_by_quantiles: int = None  # F3: Equal-count bins for float group_by
+sort_groups: bool = True        # F4: Sort groups in legend
+weights: str = None             # v1.1: Column name for weighted statistics
+```
+
+#### draw_batch — List Format (Phase 13.14.DF)
+
+`specs` parameter now accepts `list` (group format) in addition to `dict` (original format):
+
+```python
+specs: Union[Dict[str, Dict[str, Any]], List[Dict[str, Any]], str]
+```
+
+Group spec keys:
+- `name` (required), `plots` (required)
+- `defaults`, `ncols`, `layout`, `figsize`, `suptitle`, `savefig`, `sharex`, `sharey`
+
+Option hierarchy: `kwargs < draw_batch defaults= < group['defaults'] < plot_spec`
+
+#### verbose — Verbosity Levels (Phase 13.14.DF)
+
+```python
+verbose: Union[bool, int] = True
+```
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `False` / `0` | Silent |
+| `True` / `1` | Progress — group names, save paths, summary |
+| `2` | Debug — also prints merged parameters per plot |
