## Caption Rules

Every experimental figure caption must state:

- manipulated variable;
- fixed variables;
- measured consequence;
- claim boundary.

## Provenance Routing Before Final Submission

| Copied Figure | Raw / Script Route To Check | Status |
|---|---|---|
| `fig1_ci1_amplifier_isolation.png` | `variance_regularized_safe_rl/outputs/causal_isolation/causal_isolation_suite_latest/`; long manuscript CI-1 section. | Figure copied; raw provenance still needs final table/CSV cross-check. |
| `fig2_ci2_source_intervention.png` | `variance_regularized_safe_rl/outputs/causal_isolation/causal_isolation_suite_latest/`; `variance_regularized_safe_rl/evi_20260506/repro/tests/test_causal_isolation_suite.py`. | Figure copied; colored-input caveat required. |
| `suite_high_noise_comparison.png` | `variance_regularized_safe_rl/outputs/uav/tmp_generalization_check_20260418_163406/`; `variance_regularized_safe_rl/run_planar_quadrotor_generalization_suite.py`. | Figure copied; use as bridge/boundary evidence. |
| `caps_style_method_comparison_v4_1.png` | `paper_spine_tac_source_amplifier_20260521_best/submission_v2_From_Action_Smoothing_to_Source_Amplifier_Control_2026-05-22/latex_source/figures_v4_1/`; 2D ablation table in long manuscript. | Figure copied; prefer table values for main numeric claims. |
| `full3d_5seed_high_noise_summary.png` | `variance_regularized_safe_rl/outputs/uav/full3d_5seed_20260510_233952/`; `paper_spine_tac_source_amplifier_20260521_best/submission_v2_From_Action_Smoothing_to_Source_Amplifier_Control_2026-05-22/results_selected/full3d_5seed/`. | Figure copied; simulation-level claim only. |
| `conditional_variance_proxy_summary.png` | `variance_regularized_safe_rl/scripts/analyze_cgrvc_conditional_variance.py`; `variance_regularized_safe_rl/outputs/cgrvc_revision_tables_20260519_225416/`. | Figure copied; finite-difference proxy only. |
| `controlgym_suite_high_noise_comparison.png` | `variance_regularized_safe_rl/outputs/controlgym_full_method/20260421_190814_v3_full_5seed/`. | Figure copied; AC3 supportive and CM2 boundary/failure case. |
