| # Aggregation replay protocol | |
| Hold source rows, row embeddings, query embeddings, taxonomy, query roster and | |
| similarity measure fixed. Change only the mapping from row embeddings to ranked | |
| taxon scores. | |
| At minimum, declare whether the method uses one species centroid, instance-max, | |
| source-separated prototypes, multiple learned or clustered prototypes, or | |
| another rule. Report prototype count, memory footprint, tie-breaking and any | |
| hyperparameters. Method selection must not use the canonical QT26-QC test labels. | |
| Report the same micro, macro, top-k and transition endpoints as gallery-state | |
| replay. A method chosen after inspecting Fish-Vista is diagnostic on that roster, | |
| not an independent museum-domain holdout result. | |
