Airborne measurements. Open methods.

Development evidence dataset, version 1

Assemble an immutable metadata snapshot of the 53-stretch study. This is an incremental paper dataset, not the final validated dataset or an independent replication. No measurements, selections, numerical results or thresholds change.

Integrity and interpretation

Verify source receipts before joining. Require matching stretch sets, source hashes, configuration and selection identities. Every latest comparison must retain all three models and both processing cases. Preserve every history row, even blank legacy attempt identities; assign a separate snapshot row ID without claiming it is the original worker identity. Never substitute a repeat for a primary.

Keep numerical preference, descriptive agreement, predictive adequacy, calibrated uncertainty and independent replication in separate fields. The dataset reports no calibrated detections, confidence levels or verified independent-flight count. Do not infer hardware identity from type/configuration bytes. Missing prediction qualification remains missing; earlier development predictions stay indexed.

Build once from named documented inputs. Freeze copied inputs, builder/module sources and generated outputs under this version. A read-only check verifies the frozen snapshot; later changes to live project pages cannot rewrite it. An optional live-input check may identify drift without repairing or regenerating the snapshot. Changed evidence needs a separately identified version.

This metadata-only build performs zero original reads, model evaluations, optimizer starts or network calls. It does not need a new observed-data campaign allowance. The final paper dataset remains gated on withheld prediction, observational error assessment, independent confirmation and dependence-aware calibration.
