The slot is outside the counterbalanced trial and orders after the trial pair by information gain, before pglib validation. - evaluation.build_manifest supports CONFIRMATION_ON_DEVELOPMENT: confirmation re-runs the same development targets under fresh seeds, classified same_target_fresh_seed_replication; the manifest now reports concealed targets separately from confirmation targets. - matrix_multiplication.prompt_for_targets keeps the interface contract, strategy notes and honest framing while dropping lines that name withheld targets. - Docs updated: README slot table and allowance, OPERATIONS, DECISIONS (2026-09-14 entry), RESEARCH-IMPLEMENTATION, CHANGELOG.
