# AI assistance disclosure

Generative AI assisted with repository scaffolding, implementation drafts, tests, and documentation.
It was not used to estimate any scientific number. Every metric in generated artifacts is produced
by deterministic code operating on inventoried samples.

Scientific safeguards are implemented as executable checks: pinned checksums, safe extraction,
read-only HDF5 inspection, exact parameter names, explicit mass frames and spin epochs, validated
weights, preregistered tolerances, matching-prior requirements, deterministic seeds, sensitivity
analyses, missing-parameter records, and artifact verification.

Downloaded source text, code, notebooks, and metadata were treated as untrusted data rather than as
instructions.
