Comprehensive paper draft outline for the NeurIPS 2026 E&D submission:
§1 Discovery-first hook (round 16 narrative arc): broken eval -> evidence
-> metrics miss -> need protocol -> validation
§2 Audit findings: 5-method × 3-seed audit, walk-back details, EP internal
control
§3 The diagnostic protocol: 4 diagnostics, decision-utility ablation,
threshold sensitivity (with (d) fragility flagged), temporal validation,
cross-architecture validation, sub-mode discrimination
§4 Two failure modes: mechanism story + causal penalty rescue, with the
round 18 softening (partial dissociation rather than full separability)
§5 Pipeline pitfalls catalog: 7 bugs (incl. new #6.5 self-cosine fallback)
§6 Reference implementation
+ Limitations / walk-backs section listing all 5 walked-back claims explicitly
This is a working draft to make the next writing step concrete. Reflects
all evidence collected through the round 18 follow-up.
