Residual doc drift: CITATION.cff affiliation + CLAUDE.md stale test count

[domattioli]

Surfaced during the cross-repo README audit (write-readme, PR #246). PR #246 already fixed the unambiguous CITATION.cff drift (license: MIT → PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0, version 1.1.0 → 1.2.2, date-released → 2026-06-15). Two residual items need an operator decision or a repo-specific count and were left out of that PR:

1. CITATION.cff author affiliation — lists Dominik Mattioli as Pennsylvania State University, while the README author line reads Unaffiliated and .claude/CLAUDE.md references the OSU CHIL lab. This is a personal fact, not a mechanical drift, so I didn't guess — please set the correct current affiliation.

2. .claude/CLAUDE.md "currently 57 tests" (Must Preserve section) — stale; the actual def test_ count in tests/ is ~903. Recommend replacing the brittle integer with "the full pytest suite" (per write-readme drift-trap No smoothing implementation in the python version #3), or a verified current number.

Neither appears in the README, so neither blocks PR #246.

1 - Currently unaffiliated, previously with PSU when this repo was modernized and with OSU when it was initiated.
2 ok

Item 2 shipped — item 1 still needs an operator call

• Item 2 (stale test count) — done on development (a54f88d, rolling PR Rolling development → main #254)

  ▸ Change

    ↪ `.claude/CLAUDE.md` "Must Preserve" line `Test pass rate (currently 57 tests)` → `Test pass rate (the full pytest suite)`; the brittle integer is gone rather than re-pinned (actual suite is ~1015 `def test_` across `tests/`, so any hard number re-rots fast) — matches this issue's own recommendation.
  

• Item 1 (CITATION.cff affiliation) — left open

  ▸ Why

    ↪ `Pennsylvania State University` vs README `Unaffiliated` vs `.claude/CLAUDE.md` OSU-CHIL is a personal fact, not a mechanical drift; an autonomous session shouldn't guess it. Set the correct current affiliation and this closes.
  

Issue stays open on item 1.

Status pass (hour-14 rotation, read-only triage — no new commit):

• Item 2 (stale test count) — already resolved

  ↪ a54f88d replaced .claude/CLAUDE.md's "currently 57 tests" with "the full pytest suite" (the recommended brittle-integer fix); a repo-wide grep for 57 tests now returns zero hits, so this half is done and on development.

• Item 1 (CITATION.cff affiliation) — still operator-gated

  ↪ CITATION.cff:11 lists the primary author's affiliation as Pennsylvania State University while the README author line reads Unaffiliated and .claude/CLAUDE.md references the OSU CHIL lab (CITATION.cff:15/:43 already cite OSU for the lab entity) — a personal fact I will not guess. Please set the correct current affiliation and this issue can close.

Leaving open on item 1 only.

Both items resolved — closing

• Item 1 (CITATION.cff affiliation) — now shipped (a4de4dd, rolling PR Rolling development → main #258)

  ▸ What unblocked it

    ↪ the operator answered this on 2026-07-12 ("currently unaffiliated; previously PSU during modernization, OSU at initiation") — the two prior status passes (07-14, 07-19) missed that answer and kept the item flagged as operator-gated, so it sat mechanically-fixable but untouched.
  

  ▸ Change

    ↪ `CITATION.cff:11` `affiliation: Pennsylvania State University` → `Unaffiliated`, matching the README author line; the Kubatko / OSU-CHIL co-author entry (`:15`) is unchanged (lab entity, correct as-is).
  

• Item 2 (stale test count) — already shipped (a54f88d)

  ↪ .claude/CLAUDE.md "currently 57 tests" → "the full pytest suite"; repo-wide grep for 57 tests returns zero hits.

Both drifts closed → closing as completed.
