Preregistered decision rule (PREREGISTRATION.md section 5)

  • H1 (planted recall 9/12 vs decoy false positives 0/6, Fisher one-sided): p = 0.0045 -> PASS
  • H2 (sampler enrichment, hypergeometric): -> FAIL
  • H3 (S0 two-note recall vs B4 one-note recall, Fisher one-sided): p = 0.0196 -> PASS

Decision: NULL (signal requires H1 and H2 both passing).
