# Publication policy

## Approved public scope

The Git-reachable source history is approved for public release under the MIT
License. The release includes source code, tests, configuration, documentation,
and small non-market fixtures or placeholders only.

Ignored local exchange data, normalized and derived tables, fitted states,
ingestion authorities, generated dashboards, and run artifacts are excluded.
The detailed boundary is recorded in [DATA_POLICY.md](DATA_POLICY.md).

## Evidence language

- `SYNTHETIC_SMOKE` verifies software behavior only.
- `PUBLIC_SAMPLE_PARTIAL` supports bounded pipeline observations, not persistent
  alpha, profitability, or capacity claims.
- The frozen trade-only M8 study ended at `INSUFFICIENT_DATA` after a predeclared
  zero-warning gate failed. Selection, held-out evaluation, execution, and P&L
  did not run.
- `NONCONFIRMATORY_CONTINUOUS_PILOT_EXPLORATION` is a separate, later evidence
  tier. The approved website/Space summary comes from one continuous four-hour
  BTCUSDT/ETHUSDT L2 pilot with deterministic market-order simulation, a frozen
  4 bp taker fee, and 144 overlapping counterfactual scenarios. It is labeled
  “research reference only.”
- The exploratory summary is not confirmatory evidence, live or realized
  execution, a prospectively untouched test, cross-day replication, a
  profitability or capacity result, or a statistical-significance claim.
- Its source bundle is pinned to commit
  `b918673405226467d6e5c2fa1f2fac59cca19d03`; all 476 recorded files verified
  against the bundle checksums before the bounded JSON was generated.
- Superseded campaign calendars remain historical records and are not presented
  as current authority.
