Phase 1 — knowledge extraction
- Primary objective: Provide a provider-neutral, immutable-run experiment registry and migration path for current and historical FE experiments.
- Primary claims: The narrow experiment infrastructure is executable and preserves provider/run lineage. Verification of package structure is separate from empirical acceptance.
- Supporting evidence: The source's declared references and the co-analyzed records listed in the analysis-unit frontier.
- Methodology: Architecture definition, migration manifests, immutable-run tooling, fixtures, and automated verification.
- Accepted/current findings: The architecture is accepted-for-pilot and the implementation report is complete in its declared engineering scope.
- Rejected or unsupported findings: Successful experiment-package verification establishes scientific validity. Provider labels alone establish independent replication.
- Assumptions: Write-once run directories and provider metadata are sufficient for the current pilot boundary. Migration manifests faithfully represent historical outputs.
- Limitations: Cross-provider independence semantics, adversarial integrity, and high-consequence promotion remain unvalidated.
- Known uncertainties: Failure behavior under corrupted runs; Migration compatibility; Independence semantics; Operational maintenance cost.
- Declared headings inspected: Experiment-system implementation journal.
Phase 2 — unresolved unknowns
- Failure behavior under corrupted runs
- Migration compatibility
- Independence semantics
- Operational maintenance cost
Phase 3 — adversarial challenge
The experiment system has stronger immutability controls than the ROS–FE profile execution validator that indexes some of its research outputs.
Evidence that would materially change this assessment includes a completed independent replication, a preregistered negative control, a matched causal comparison, a governance disposition, or a demonstrated failure of the measurement and integrity instruments relevant to this source.
