root fc859d5dff Editorial revision: precision, framing, and internal consistency (4a–4k)
4a  Moderate principal conclusion: 'no statistically credible evidence'
    replaced with 'no statistically robust evidence within tested frameworks'
    plus clause acknowledging untested mechanisms (threshold effects,
    nonlinear triggering, extreme-event coupling).

4b  Fix independence-assumption framing: 'physically invalid seismic metric'
    → 'physically inappropriate'; separate claim about naive p-values now
    reads 'statistically invalid under the violated serial-independence
    assumption (autocorrelation inflates nominal sample size by 3–5×)'.

4c  3.9σ detrended peak no longer called 'marginal': figure caption and
    nearby text now read 'nominally significant but sensitive to Neff
    estimation, at a lag inconsistent with the claimed mechanism'.

4d  CR terminology standardised: 'global CR index' defined precisely at
    first use in Data section (dimensionless, station mean ≡ 1, ≥3 stations
    per bin); 'CR flux' retained only for the physical quantity.

4e  Geographic conclusion reframed: 'no local mechanism' replaced with
    'inconsistent with simple wave-propagation or diffusion models, but does
    not rule out instantaneous global coupling mechanisms (e.g. atmospheric
    electric field modulation)'.

4f  Bayes factor qualified: parenthetical after BF=0.75 notes the restricted
    two-hypothesis model space and cites Kass & Raftery (1995).

4g  OOS limitations expanded: explicit paragraph noting the 5-yr window
    with no complete solar cycle, limited statistical power, and that
    p_global=0.100 is consistent with—rather than strong evidence against
    —the claim; OOS failure downweighted vs 44-yr in-sample analysis.

4h  Confirmatory vs exploratory scope table added (Table tab:prereg_scope)
    listing pre-specified parameters and which analyses were confirmatory
    vs post-hoc exploratory.

4i  Alternative solar-cycle confounds acknowledged in Discussion: geomagnetic
    activity cycles and long-term seismic clustering added as alternative
    explanations for the shared 10-year periodicity.

4j  Fixed: 'Out-of-sample poos from script 08' removed from Limitations;
    GitHub URL removed from abstract (kept in Data Availability only);
    Discussion run-on sentences broken up.

4k  Abstract rewritten to ≤250 words in five-part structure: prior claim,
    data/methods (two sentences), key quantitative results, scoped
    interpretation, one-sentence limitation. Causal language qualified.

Also adds KassRaftery1995 to refs.bib. PDF: 36 pages.
