PARS LAB 0.1.0-ALPHA
=====================

Purpose
-------
Run the frozen PARS-versus-baselines demonstration through your own
ChatGPT-authenticated Codex installation. No OpenAI API key is required or
passed to an experiment arm. Results stay on your computer.

Before running
--------------
1. Install the ChatGPT/Codex desktop app or Codex CLI.
2. Sign in with ChatGPT.
3. Understand that every selected arm consumes your Codex allowance.

macOS / Linux
-------------
Open Terminal in this folder and run:

  ./pars-lab

Windows
-------
Open PowerShell in this folder and run:

  .\pars-lab.exe

The runner opens a browser only on a random 127.0.0.1 port. Press Control-C in
the terminal to stop it. Local receipts are saved under Documents/PARS Lab Runs
unless you choose a different output directory.

Security
--------
Verify the archive SHA-256 against SHA256SUMS.txt from the release before
running it. This alpha is not yet notarized or publisher-signed. If your
operating system blocks it, do not bypass security warnings merely to run the
demo; use the source build or wait for a signed release.

Scientific boundary
-------------------
A visitor-run receipt is a replication input, not automatically a canonical
audit row. One run cannot establish PARS superiority, equivalence or
uselessness. See PROTOCOL.md for the exact boundary.
