| D54 | 2026-10-20 19:19 | In figures F3 and F4, give each method its own row or column, with larger points and no vertical nudging. | "make the shapes bigger and do not nudge them on the y-axis (or at least not that much) since they are hard to deciper" (2026-10-20) |
| D55 | 2026-10-20 20:37 | Publish figure F1 with its image sources on the figure; its AutoVI (pipe staple) tiles stay under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. | "publish F1 with attribution" (2026-10-20) |

| D57 | 2026-10-20 21:01 | Put "(Few-Shot)" in parentheses in the title: Beyond CLIP: Calibrated (Few-Shot) Defect Detection With Structured Decision Models. | "For the title, put (Few-Shot) in parantheses." (2026-10-20) |
| D58 | 2026-10-20 20:54 | Also report CLIP with the learning sets of the CLIP paper at a threshold tuned like ours, next to the rule of that paper. | "we likely want to include the CLIP results at the same thresholds like we do" (2026-10-20) |
| D60 | 2026-10-20 20:54 | In the interactive T4, mark each JEV and Clef-Flash result against the best CLIP result on the same dataset: up, level or down at a margin of 0.02 balanced accuracy. | "In the DT table, add a glyph to capture how the model is performing compared to benchmarks?" (2026-10-20) |
| D61 | 2026-10-20 20:54 | Record the R packages in an renv lockfile (renv.lock) without activating renv in the project, because the project folder is in Dropbox. | "should we use renv to ensure that people can replicate the packages as we have them now?" (2026-10-20) |
| D62 | 2026-10-20 21:09 | The benchmark is a CLIP baseline with 50 learning images per class (pans: 10), the low end of the abstract of the CLIP paper, with the defect images split evenly over the defect types; it replaces the best CLIP result as the reference of the glyphs, and the other columns stay. | "the baseline comparison should be with a 50-image per defect CLIP (or 10 in the pan case since we did not have enough images)" (2026-10-20) |
| D63 | 2026-10-20 21:09 | Add a dot-chart column to the interactive T4: one row per method, balanced accuracy on a common axis, dashed line at the CLIP baseline (inline SVG, no script). | "I was thinking of a column that contains a dot chart of the different methods?" (2026-10-20) |
| D64 | 2026-10-20 23:29 | Tag commit 33ffd59 as v0.0.1 (pre-alpha) before any change to the code for the redesign. | "Before you make any changes to the code, tag the current version as v0.0.1 (pre-alpha release)." (2026-10-20) |
| D65 | 2026-10-20 23:25 | Do the redesign of the experiment and of its presentation on a separate branch (fair-comparison), not on main. | "So I need you in a different branch to rethink how we do and present this" (2026-10-20) |
| D66 | 2026-10-20 23:25 | Write R code in 80 to 90% tidyverse style (stringr for text) and use yardstick for the classification metrics; keep the code simple. | "I would rather you go 80-90% tidyverse style. For example, use stringr. For the binary metrics, just use yardstick" (2026-10-20) |
| D67 | 2026-10-20 23:25 | Calibrate CLIP too, on the same images as the decision models, and test the calibrated CLIP model. | "since CLIP approach did not calibrate we should calibrate for them and get the updated model." (2026-10-20) |
| D68 | 2026-10-20 23:27 | Report accuracy, balanced accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, F1 and MCC for each method. | "we should report all common metrics: accuracy, balanced_accuracy, spec, sens (recall), prec, f1, mcc." (2026-10-20) |
| D69 | 2026-10-20 23:53 | Each method uses one learning set of 50 images per class (pans: 10) and one separate calibration set of 25 images per class; all methods use the same images (option B). | "Yes, B is what I meant" (2026-10-20) |
| D72 | 2026-10-20 23:53 | Add detail to the replication record: a timeline, the tags and the results. | "Improve the replication record as well -- the level of details can benefit from some additions" (2026-10-20) |
| D73 | 2026-10-20 23:53 | The record is an honest guide to the co-work with Claude Code and shows the intellectual contributions and decisions of the researchers. | "I want this to be our honest guide of how we co-worked with Claude Code while highlighting the intellectual contributions" (2026-10-20) |
| D78 | 2026-10-21 04:36 | Record the execution time of every scoring run (per image and per run, for JEV, Clef-Flash and CLIP) and report time per image for each method in the analysis document. | "A question are we capturing execution time as well. If not can we add this in?" (2026-10-21) |
| D79 | 2026-10-21 04:36 | Report the cost of each JEV call and configuration: the per-call log already holds tokens and an estimated cost; the analysis document sums it by configuration and per image, and the record compares the logged total with the TypeSafe account after the runs. | "Also, if it is possible capture cost for each JEV call or no?" (2026-10-21) |
| D80 | 2026-10-21 04:45 | In the interactive tables of the analysis document, stripe the rows by case study (dataset), not row by row. | "can we do the striping based on the case study rather than a row within a case study?" (2026-10-21) |
| D84 | 2026-10-21 12:13 | Approve up to 50,000 JEV calls for the fair comparison (loops, checks, calibration and test runs); the account holds over USD 20, so the budget row caps the cost at USD 20. This lifts the 7,000-call cap of D26 and the USD 5 budget of D44. | "I approve up to 50,000 JEV calls; we have over $20 in my account." (2026-10-21) |
