Experiments DB Dev 8a18c894dd feat(matlab): add Satterthwaite DF + honest random-slope test to LME reports
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.

Experiments Database — Backup

Location

/home/sam/synology/Backups/Experiments-DB-Backup/
├── daily/          ← up to 5 change-triggered daily backups
├── weekly/         ← up to 2 unconditional weekly backups
├── .last_backup_state   ← DB fingerprint from last backup run
└── backup.log      ← all run output

Scripts

scripts/
├── backup.sh       ← main backup script
└── setup_cron.sh   ← installs / updates cron entries (idempotent)

Schedule

Cron Mode Behaviour
0 2 * * * (daily 02:00) daily Compares DB fingerprint; skips if nothing changed
0 3 * * 0 (Sunday 03:00) weekly Always dumps; ignores fingerprint

To re-install cron entries after a path change:

./scripts/setup_cron.sh

Backup Format

Files are pg_dump --format=custom --compress=9 (.pgdump).

Restore a backup:

# Restore into a running container
docker exec -i experiments_postgres pg_restore \
  -U expuser -d experiments_db --clean \
  < /home/sam/synology/Backups/Experiments-DB-Backup/daily/<file>.pgdump

# Or restore to a fresh database
docker exec -i experiments_postgres createdb -U expuser experiments_db_restore
docker exec -i experiments_postgres pg_restore \
  -U expuser -d experiments_db_restore \
  < /path/to/file.pgdump

Change Detection

The daily run fingerprints the database as:

<experiments count>,<animals count>,<daily_statuses count>,
<daily_analyses count>,<session_files count>,<latest audit_log timestamp>

Any insert, update, or delete on any table shifts this string and triggers a backup.

Retention Policy

Type Keep
Daily 5 most recent
Weekly 2 most recent

Older files are automatically deleted after each successful dump.

Manual Run

# Force a backup right now (ignores change detection)
./scripts/backup.sh weekly

# Run change-detect check manually
./scripts/backup.sh daily

Verify Cron Is Installed

crontab -l | grep ExpDB
