Pull request overview
This PR archives the SpecHO project by cleaning up the codebase and documenting its final state. The project successfully completed all 32 tasks with 830 passing tests and achieved its research objective of demonstrating LLM fingerprinting capabilities. The key counterintuitive finding: human writing is more predictable and fingerprintable than LLM output.
Changes:
- Removed temporary files (logs, outputs, backups, duplicate documentation)
- Fixed hardcoded paths in scripts/manual_analysis.py for cross-platform compatibility
- Reorganized historical materials into docs/archive/experiments/
- Updated documentation to reflect archived status and document research findings
