  "abstract": "We present a controlled two-dimensional study of nuclear-equation-of-state (EOS) effects on the post-outburst thermal relaxation of magnetized neutron-star crusts. Six EOS models are evolved at a fixed gravitational mass of $1.4 M_{\\odot}$ with EOS-specific TOV backgrounds, crust compositions, and transport inputs under identical magnetic-field and heating prescriptions. Our analysis combines self-consistent multi-EOS evolution with a BSk-family factorization that separates structural, microphysical, and interaction contributions, together with an accepted-step energy ledger and a numerical-sensitivity budget. The models show EOS-dependent changes in both the early response and the later redistribution of heat between the surface, crust, and inner boundary; light-curve crossings near $10^2$ days demonstrate that the EOS effect is not a simple luminosity rescaling. By 1000 days the cumulative surface-photon energy fraction differs by less than one percentage point, whereas the internal energy partition differs much more strongly. The updated sensitivity tests show that the late-time luminosity differences and the largest peak contrasts exceed the corresponding BSk24 numerical-sensitivity scales, while the smallest early peak contrast remains less securely resolved. The calculations are intended as a reproducible EOS-sensitivity benchmark rather than an observational fit.",
