Phase 4 — harden & publish notes

Metrics

On --execute, DLSurfer appends:

$SD/$SID/scripts/dlsurfer_metrics.tsv

Columns: step, engine, device, seconds, exit.

Compare against legacy split jobs: wall-time, queue time (from SLURM), failure rate.

Citation workflow

dlsurfer cite --profile core-lesion

Always cite engines, not DLSurfer as a morphometry method. See CLAIMS.md.

Release checklist

• [ ] Pin FastSurfer / neuroLIT / FS versions in engines.yaml pins
• [ ] dlsurfer doctor green on target cluster
• [ ] EG + ≥1 TBI subject smoke (core, core-lesion)
• [ ] Contract check passes preferred files
• [ ] Experimental profiles remain flagged until TBI±LIT report exists
• [ ] README claim boundary unchanged

Optional infrastructure paper

Measure: TtS, failure modes (PATH/OOM/LIT), not Dice vs FreeSurfer anatomy.
