New optional fields and enum values are allowed; breaking validation or unit/direction/comparison changes are rejected. Old definitions and creation snapshots remain intact. Reload incremented revisions. Preview before applying; a stale source cannot be extended again. Requires the corresponding updated API. Included in CLI 0.4.0; the API must be updated separately.

For a build ladder, declare `varying: ["build"]` and put actual build IDs in run configs, not a ladder label in an experiment parameter. Standalone `schemas validate --ready` remains instance-level validation and does not apply this experiment exemption.

+
+## Reliable parsing and measurement evidence
+
+Always capture exit status, stdout, and stderr. A nonzero exit with empty stdout means failure, not `None` or a successful empty record; preserve the structured stderr error. Parse stdout as a success value only after checking exit status. `schemas validate` deliberately also returns the invalid report on stdout when it exits 1. Do not retry a create blindly after an ambiguous transport failure: inspect the intended server/campaign first.
+
+Experiment/run lists are arrays of record objects regardless of workspace or explicit campaign scope. Their get/context results wrap the record in `entity`; create/update return the record directly. Do not guess shapes or treat empty stdout as `[]`. If an external wrapper returns strings instead, retain the raw command, version, status, and both streams to diagnose the difference.
+
+Experiment `method`, `hypothesis`, `objective`, and `conclusion` have a 4000-character limit; name has a 120-character limit. For longer methods, reference a versioned file and include the exact extraction command and source field in `method`. `comparisonContext`, parameters/config, observations, and extras must be objects where supported, not JSON strings.
+
+Typed values are not proof of correct extraction, the correct baseline, sufficient sample size, or job execution. For measurement imports, require evidence as a project workflow policy: retain the job/output reference (for Harbor, `extras.job_dir`), immutable source version or content hash when available, the extraction command and source field, baseline run ID, sample count/denominator, scorer/container identity, and missing-result handling. Keep scoring and comparability requirements in the method/context; use declared typed fields for values that must be compared or validated. Inspect source evidence before recording conclusions, and distinguish small-sample observations from supported claims. Missing/all-None results must not become zero measurements.
+
+This policy is not currently an API-enforced artifact requirement. `extras` is unvalidated, a path is not verified provenance, and Fieldwork does not inspect the file or attest that a job ran. Never fabricate evidence to satisfy the policy; retain missing evidence explicitly and withhold unsupported conclusions. Use project-specific source references rather than requiring a Harbor directory for every kind of research.
+
+## Named chart series and display options
+
+Chart points include a readable `series` label and stable `seriesId` for grouping. Labels show recorded context values, experiment stubs on campaign charts, and nonempty inputs/environments. Prefer `seriesId` over the label as an identity; old API deployments may lack it. Labels describe metadata, not proven comparability.
+
+The web UI can hide/show series, label points with run titles, and fit numeric axes to visible values. Unchecked fit controls include zero; bars always use a zero baseline. Full titles and exact values remain in the source table, including hidden series. These controls are view-local, not saved specs or API filters. Refresh resets them. Do not describe hidden points as excluded observations or mistake a fitted axis for evidence of a large effect.
+
+## Compatible schema extension (updated server/client required)
+
+Use `fieldwork schemas extend VERSION_ID --json - --dry-run < extension.json` to preview, then omit `--dry-run` to apply. The payload is `{"definition": <complete proposed definition>}` with optional schema `description`; it is not a patch. Keep all existing fields. Source must be the latest version of its scope/stub family.
+
+Extension accepts new optional observations/parameters, enum expansion, relaxed bounds/requiredness, and descriptions. Removed fields, changed types, new requirements, narrowed enums/bounds, changes to existing unit/direction/compare semantics, or new `compare: true` fields are rejected. Do not relabel ratios as percentages without an explicit data migration. Adding a unit/direction to an existing field also needs semantic review.
+
+This is the exception to ordinary pin immutability: a new immutable successor is created, with `extendedFrom` and `extensionImpact`, and all matching experiment/run/default/chart pins advance atomically. Old schema definitions, recorded values, execution dates, and creation snapshots remain intact. Revisions increment: reload affected records before writing. Existing terminal runs may then receive optional observations via normal revision-checked updates. No run recreation or fabricated lifecycle is necessary. Dry run writes nothing; apply revalidates and is not reserved by the preview. Stale-source errors require inspection, not a blind retry. Independently published versions are not auto-merged, and breaking re-pinning is still blocked.
+
+Recipe/artifact commands are available in CLI 0.4.0 with the updated API. Use the explicit artifacts reference array; a config stub alone is not an enforced recipe link.
+
+## Recipes and artifacts (updated server/client required)
+
+Recipes are product-scoped records for reusable definitions shared by many runs: training/corpus settings, cache/container tier, export method, and file roles with URIs and sha256 hashes. Create with `fieldwork artifacts create --product REF --json '{"stub":"variant-v5g","name":"Variant v5g","definition":{...},"files":[{"role":"head","uri":"file://...","sha256":"..."}]}'`; `list --product`, `get`, `update --json` (whole-field replacement with revision), `delete --revision`, and `diff FROM TO --product` (JSON Pointer changes) are available. Stubs are unique per product; use `--product` for stub resolution, or IDs directly.
+
+Reference recipes explicitly on experiments/runs: `... --json '{"name":"Heads","hypothesis":"...","artifacts":["variant-v5g"]}'`. References resolve within the campaign's product and are stored as immutable artifact IDs in `research.artifactIds`; runs inherit experiment references unless they pass their own list. The first reference permanently freezes an artifact (`ARTIFACT_FROZEN` on later edits/deletes), even if references are later removed, records are deleted, or the server restarts. A frozen recipe changes only through a successor (`derivedFrom`, same product and kind, new stub); `artifacts diff` shows exactly what changed between variants. Expect revision increments on the freeze and reload before further writes.
+
+Do not over-claim: a stored URI/hash records provenance but does not attest that files exist or that a job ran; artifact references do not validate config values. Schema extension does not rewrite artifact references. Keep recipes for durable variant definitions; per-run parameters still belong in run config, and comparisons still need explicit baselines and adequate sample sizes.
+
+## Grouping and statistics on charts
+
+Chart creation now accepts `aggregation: {groupBy:[{section:"parameters",field:"variant"}],metric:"mean",spread:"band"}`. Supply ordinary typed X/Y axes as before. `metric` supports mean or sample stdev; `spread` supports none, mean±SD whiskers, or mean±SD shaded bands for line charts. Saved grouping/metric comes from chart creation; the web spread selector only changes that view. Discover fields first. No free-form math expressions run.
+
+Aggregation buckets preserve X plus existing context boundaries (experiment/context/input/environment) and add the requested grouping fields. For a category mean choose the category as bar X; for a line choose a numeric X and a variant grouping field. Replicate runs get equal weight. Missing group fields are excluded explicitly. Source points remain in the API and table; `aggregates` includes count, mean, sample SD, bounds and contributing IDs/revisions. SD uses n−1, is null for n<2, and is never imputed as zero. Bands are ±1 SD, not confidence intervals or proof of a meaningful effect; singleton bands are absent. Include relevant non-varying parameters in grouping, inspect provenance, and do not confuse identical metadata with experimental equivalence. CLI 0.4.0 includes this reference; aggregation requires the separately updated API and web app.
