Change

Add comprehensive negative-result informativeness guide and CLI classifier (Phase F, F6).

Why

Negative results are only useful if they are informative. The guide defines a 7-dimension framework (identity, context, specificity, actionability, verifiability, structured metadata, interpretation) and provides 14 annotated examples across all 6 reason categories, plus before/after transformation pairs. The CLI classifier makes the classification machine-checkable.

Evidence

  • make classify-negative-informativeness classifies the example entry as INFORMATIVE (6.25/7.0)
  • 37 new tests pass (2796 total)
  • make agent-check passes

Safety impact

None. All outputs are computational classifications of documentation quality, not biological claims.

Proof level

Informational only. The guide and classifier evaluate documentation completeness, not scientific correctness.

Limitations

  • Informativeness scoring is heuristic. A score of 7.0 does not guarantee scientific correctness.
  • A NON_INFORMATIVE entry may contain genuinely important data that was simply poorly documented.
  • The classifier validates documentation quality, not scientific validity.

Human review needed

No.

Add comprehensive guide defining informative vs non-informative negative
results with a 7-dimension framework, 14 annotated examples across all 6
reason categories, before/after transformation pairs, and CLI classifier.
