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:
```bash
./scripts/setup_cron.sh
```
## Backup Format
Files are `pg_dump --format=custom --compress=9` (`.pgdump`).
**Restore a backup:**
```bash
# 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
```bash
# 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
```bash
crontab -l | grep ExpDB
```
