-Every rule of §6 and every test of §7 was written down, with its criteria and stop rule, before its code and its run. Table D1 gives, for each document, the commit that first added it and the commit that first added the results its run wrote, both read from git by `check_prereg_order.py`: 25 of the 30 were committed before their results; four were committed together with them, so git cannot order them; one was decided on its smoke run and has no results file. We call these documents advance records, not pre-registrations: they live in the author's repository, and their order relative to the runs is attested only by the author's git history, whose timestamps the author sets; no external registry was used. A deposit with an external timestamp (Zenodo, OSF) before a run would remove that limitation for future tests. Before publication the history was rewritten once, to remove infrastructure details (a server address); the commits cited here are those of the published history, in which `check_prereg_order.py` recomputes Table D1. The code of A′ was committed (`8027d7f`) after corpus 4 was defined (`657df10`) and before its results (`6d2531e`); `simroot/pure.py` did not change in between.
