# Dome Lab documentation closeout — 2026-08-31

This documentation-only release closes the public record after Force Curve
Bench `fc-3.4`, EC Parts Builder `lib-6.0`, the Shopify Dome Lab pages, and
Beyond Snap Ratio Preprint 2.0 became public.

## Added

- one authoritative public-release record with live entry points, tool
  identities, DOI records, hashes, and the rollback-retention boundary;
- citation and path-scoped licensing guidance;
- completed live deployment checks for the public hub, tools, article, paper,
  GitHub releases, and DOI targets;
- a prospective, blinded, randomized multi-rater validation protocol with data
  dictionary, templates, deterministic schedule generator, and analysis plan;
  and
- a full-paper roadmap and claim matrix that keep the one-rater pilot separate
  from future validation evidence.

## Scientific continuity

This release does not change raw acquisitions, retained-run membership,
canonical evidence, metrics, index formulas, the 68-dome reference fleet,
viewer bytes, or EC Parts Builder behavior. The frozen identifiers remain
`metrics-v4.2`, `intake-qc-v1.4`, and `perception-rank-v1`.

The prospective protocol does not itself create participant evidence. It must
be frozen before enrollment, and its results must not be backfilled into an
existing released index without a new model version and provenance record.
