#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Script 25: BD/McCrary Bin-Width Sensitivity Sweep ================================================== Codex gpt-5.4 round-5 review recommended that the paper (a) demote BD/McCrary in the main-text framing from a co-equal threshold estimator to a density-smoothness diagnostic, and (b) run a short bin-width robustness sweep and place the results in a supplementary appendix as an audit trail. This script implements (b).
