# GAL-FINGERPRINT-I Pilot Chamber Runbook

## Instrument

Open:

```text
instruments/struc_i/struc_i_v1_0_4_galaxy_profiles.html
```

Do not edit the HTML or its computational logic.

## Required settings for every batch

```text
Maximum ladder length   2000
Monte Carlo runs        2000
κ steps                 40
κ minimum               0.01
κ maximum               1.0
Dataset family          GAL_FINGERPRINT_I_PILOT
Dataset class           ENGINEERING_PILOT
```

The chamber uses native unseeded browser randomness. Do not assign an invented chamber seed.

## Batch execution

1. Open `inputs/ladders/struc_i/gal_fingerprint_i/pilot/chamber_batches/`.
2. Process batches in numeric order from `PILOT_BATCH_001` through `PILOT_BATCH_017`.
3. Upload every CSV in the selected batch into the chamber slots. Batches 001–016 use all six slots; batch 017 uses four slots.
4. Confirm the displayed ladder names match the batch folder filenames without `.csv`.
5. Run STRUC-I once.
6. Export both the complete JSON result and the complete CSV profile table.
7. Store both files under:

```text
outputs/exports/struc_i/gal_fingerprint_i/pilot/
```

Browser-added filename numbers may be retained. Do not manually merge, edit, or rename chamber contents.

## After all batches

From the project root run:

```text
python scripts/gal_fingerprint_i_pipeline.py consolidate-pilot
```

The consolidator performs exact-file deduplication, pairs JSON and CSV exports by their ladder-name sets, validates all settings and κ grids, updates the run manifest, and writes the real pilot consolidation under:

```text
runs/gal_fingerprint_i/consolidated/
```

Expected complete result:

```text
100 realizations
4,000 profile rows
3 registered distance representations per realization
```

Pilot metrics are engineering diagnostics only. They cannot be used for a GAL-FINGERPRINT-I scientific verdict.

## v0.3 project interpretation

This document contributes to the galaxy structural-fingerprint programme. Numerical, technical, protocol, or provenance content above is preserved. The canonical interpretation is that the fingerprints are reproducible, organized, and galaxy-specific; sampling, coverage, and baryonic-preparation dependence describe the transformation of fingerprint expression and do not erase the structural finding.
