  "summary": "The executed analysis matches the locked registration: paired 6-hour-minus-24-hour differences are reported separately for HRRRv3 and HRRRv4, never pooled; temperature and wind use MAE and precipitation uses Brier score; 4,000-draw deterministic bootstrap intervals accompany every estimate; cutoff-safe temporal validation, leakage checks, and withholding gates (2,205 forecasts, 87.6% coverage, both model eras present, deterministic rerun) all pass. The article's numeric claims match the analysis exactly, including the correct statement that precipitation differences cross zero while temperature and wind intervals sit below zero. Predictive/forecast-accuracy claims are kept distinct from causal or player-performance claims, and the article explicitly frames results as population-level. All required artifacts (registration, scorecard, evaluation runs, reproducibility, figure, tables, claim ledger, provenance) are present with hashes.",

      "check": "registration_match",
      "evidence": "Locked registration v1.2.0 specifies paired horizon differences stratified by HRRR version with bootstrap uncertainty; the analysis and article report exactly this design, and the method amendment (uncertainty added in v1.1.0) was locked before the release sample.",

      "evidence": "The release runs through the 2024 season while the freshness requirement expects 2025 under latest_completed_season mode (minimum 2024). The article discloses this limitation explicitly in the callout, limitations list, and body text.",
      "recommendation": "No change required before publication; the 2025 exclusion is a disclosed scope limitation, not a departure from the registration."

      "evidence": "The article distinguishes statistically supported temperature and wind improvements from the precipitation edge whose intervals cross zero, and frames the takeaway as forecast-accuracy guidance rather than a causal or player-specific claim.",
