What this family tests

registered calibration and negative/repair sequence

The current catalog registers this at family and run level rather than assigning separate study titles.

Evidence boundary

The v2 interface repair is a separately registered schema correction, not a post-hoc relabeling of the failed run.

This registry links the experiments reported by the three books to their executable or archived code surfaces. A code link establishes traceability, not independent reproduction, correctness, or support for a claim beyond the experiment's stated boundary.
