Every fitlme-based report (lme_*, paper_*, phase_*, and the variations'
analyze.m) now shows, per effect: residual-DF p, Satterthwaite-DF p, and --
for the interaction -- an HONEST test from a per-animal random-SLOPE model
(day|rat), whose Satterthwaite DF collapses toward the animal count.
New: tdcs_random_slope_interaction.m (shared helper). Wired into tdcs_lme,
tdcs_paper_lme, tdcs_phase_lme, variation_analyze; SUMMARY.csv gains
interaction_p_satt / interaction_p_rs. Regenerated all results/, variations/,
matched-effort outputs.
Key point this surfaces: Satterthwaite ~= residual on the random-INTERCEPT
model (the slope's error is at session level), so it does NOT fix
pseudoreplication; the random-slope model does. Effect: full-range mergeA2
interaction 0.009 -> 0.75 (collapses); unmerge_d0_5 0.015 -> 0.13 (n.s.);
the pooled-control early windows survive honestly (naive_a2_d0_5 0.001 ->
0.028; naive_boxa_d0_5 0.003 -> 0.036). Suite 42/42.

Make tdcs_paper_lme window-aware (windowKey 'full'|'d0_10'|'d0_13',
default 'full' -> unchanged filename). Windowed runs give the two anchor
arms equal day coverage, so the stim:day interaction is not confounded by
the full-range coverage imbalance; the report now states whether coverage
is equal and adds an INTERPRETATION block. Add switch cases
paper_mergeNaive_d0_10 / _d0_13 and include them in run_all.
Finding: unlike mergeA2 (fair-window interaction n.s.), the pooled-naive
control keeps the interaction significant in the fair d0_13 window
(F(1)=7.07, p=0.0088, +1.80 [+0.46,+3.14]; equal on Day 1 p=0.20),
reproducing the paper without the coverage confound; d0_10 is borderline
(p=0.051).
Tests: tLme asserts equal coverage / no warning / one full summary for
both windows and a significant positive d0_13 interaction; bad windowKey
errors. Suite 41/41.
