Heavy artifacts (checkpoints/wandb/npz) gitignored; see PROVENANCE.md.

Semicolons fine. +- Every paragraph contains at least one sentence under ~12 words. +- No uniform paragraph shapes: don't end three consecutive paragraphs with a summary clause. + +## Structure +- The contrast template ("X, not Y" / "not X, but Y") has a total budget of ONE device: + the title and its single echo at the end of paragraph 1.

One flourish per section maximum, + and it must be cuttable without losing content. + +## Density (the actual anti-slop weapon) +- Every sentence must add a number, a definition, a caveat, or a logical step. Otherwise cut. +- Modal verbs (could/might/may) confined to Discussion and future work. +- Hedges appear only where claims.md concedes; one hedge per concession, not a seesaw. + +## Honesty rails (project-specific) +- Never compare λ values across estimator versions; state scale ownership at first use. +- "Settled" always defined as the measured low-velocity band, with its residual velocity given. +- No mechanism claims; observations and their direct logical consequences only. +- No promises (code release, future experiments) that the authors have not decided. -- cgit v1.2.3
