The preprint: https://github.com/effinrich/prose-does-not-bind-agents.
paper.md is the source of truth; paper.pdf is the rendered copy. Appendix A
lists the commands behind the paper's counts, and the commands quoted here are
drawn from it.

Licence: the preprint is CC BY 4.0 (Copyright (c) 2026 Rich Tillman). The
corpus carries no licence file, so this post quotes it in short extracts,
always with the commit, the path and the line numbers.

One note on the pin. b200e23 is the last commit of the study period, not the
last commit of the repository: four commits landed after it, on 2026-11-04 and
2026-11-05. Every figure in this post is quoted at the pin or at a commit named
in the command that reads it, so later commits do not change any of them.
