# SparseWake Anonymous Release Checklist

## Required Before Upload

- [ ] Upload only the release-tree contents; do not include the parent `.git` directory.
- [ ] Confirm the three full HDF5 files are present in `data/processed/`.
- [ ] Run `python scripts/verify_dataset.py --data data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5 --checksums data/checksums.sha256` after final packaging contents are fixed.
- [ ] Confirm `MANIFEST.json` and `data/checksums.sha256` match the final upload contents.
- [ ] Inspect the uploaded file list for hidden files, notebooks, local logs, cache folders, and OS metadata.
- [ ] Do not include development directories outside the artifact tree.
- [ ] Confirm Croissant metadata remains anonymous and does not contain creator email, institution, publisher, non-anonymous URL, or local path.
- [ ] Confirm the license is listed as `cc-by-4.0` in the dataset card.

## Reviewer Smoke-Test Commands

```bash
python -m venv .venv
.venv/Scripts/pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/verify_dataset.py --data data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5 --checksums data/checksums.sha256
python scripts/train_temporal_mlp.py --config configs/main_v04.yaml --data data/sample/sparsewake_sample.h5 --quick
python scripts/reproduce_tables.py --results data/results --out tables
python scripts/make_main_figures.py --results data/results --out figures
python scripts/make_supp_figures.py --results data/results --out figures
```

Use `.venv/bin/pip` and `.venv/bin/python` on Unix-like systems.

## Final Manual Review

- [ ] README states benchmark purpose, dataset structure, HDF5 fields, targets, sensors, splits, metrics, reproduction commands, compute expectations, limitations, license, and citation.
- [ ] Dataset card states synthetic/simulated origin, intended and out-of-scope use, limitations, no human or private data, and why upstream simulator/source code is not redistributed.
- [ ] Referenced figures exist at `figures/main/Fig1.pdf` through `Fig3.pdf` and `figures/supp/Fig4.pdf` through `Fig9.pdf`.
- [ ] Stored summary CSVs in `data/results/` match manuscript tables and figures within rounding tolerance.
- [ ] `AUDIT_REPORT.md` lists unresolved issues, changed files, tested commands, and revision notes.
