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.

INTERPRETATION
|
|
- stim x day interaction: SIGNIFICANT (p=0.0090, slope diff=-2.18) -> tDCS (Box-B2) improves SLOWER -- groups converge.
|
|
- stim main effect on Day 1 (our day 0): SIGNIFICANT (p=0.0009) -> groups already DIFFER on Day 1.
