Summary

Phase-8 offline docs for the headline run, plus a from-cold instruction manual so anyone (future me or an agent) can pick this experiment up and run/interpret it without re-deriving the design.

  • README.md — rewritten into a full operator manual: the five conditions (C0–C3 + Cw), both run modes (single + multi), all six hypotheses, the pipeline (run → report → oracle, plus author + validate_scenario), how to read every metric (success / misled / verification_rate / verified_then_correct / tokens / cost, with Wilson + bootstrap + Holm), the file layout, the authoring loop, and the sharp edges (surf's identifier-renaming hashing, read-only-by-design tools, don't-stack-PRs, where spend actually is).
  • PREREGISTRATION.md — H1–H6 with pre-specified directions, conditions, models, tiered N, max_turns, metric definitions, the analysis plan (Wilson + bootstrap + Holm–Bonferroni, confirmatory vs exploratory), exclusion + stopping rules, and a freeze gate to git-tag before the run.
  • ABC_CHECKLIST.md — self-audit against the Agentic Benchmark Checklist (arXiv 2507.02825) across task/outcome/reporting validity, with limitations disclosed.

Verification

  • All cross-doc links resolve; uv run pytest38 passed (docs-only, no code change); cargo fmt n/a.

Scope

Implements the offline half of #117. The pre-registration is committed but not yet frozen/tagged — that waits on the scenario set being final (PRs #126 TS + #127 QA merged) and a clean oracle pass, per its own freeze gate. The paid matrix run is the remaining phase-8 work.

The offline docs for the headline run, plus a from-cold instruction manual.

- README.md: rewritten into a full operator manual — the five conditions
  (C0-C3 + Cw), both run modes (single + multi), all six hypotheses, how to
  run the pipeline (run -> report -> oracle; author + validate_scenario),
  how to read every metric (success / misled / verification_rate /
  verified_then_correct / tokens / cost, Wilson + bootstrap + Holm), the
  file layout, the authoring loop, and the sharp edges (surf's identifier-
  renaming hashing, read-only-by-design tools, don't-stack-PRs, where spend
  actually is). This is the single entry point for future context.
- PREREGISTRATION.md: hypotheses H1-H6 with pre-specified directions,
  conditions, models, tiered N, max_turns, metric definitions, the analysis
  plan (Wilson + bootstrap + Holm, confirmatory vs exploratory), exclusion
  rules, stopping rule, and a freeze gate to git-tag before the run.
- ABC_CHECKLIST.md: self-audit against the Agentic Benchmark Checklist
  (arXiv 2507.02825) across task validity / outcome validity / reporting,
  with known limitations disclosed.

Docs only; no code change. uv run pytest still 38.
