PEG-Bench Safe Release Candidate

This release candidate is designed for the lowest-risk public distribution path for a licensed-data benchmark submission. It releases the benchmark protocol, evaluator-facing artifacts, normalized evidence, and table/figure reproduction assets, while excluding the underlying commercial market-data payloads and benchmark-ready processed arrays derived from them.

Intended positioning

PEG-Bench is a benchmark protocol and executable evaluation artifact over licensed third-party market data. This release candidate publishes:

• evaluator and code needed to inspect the benchmark contract
• frozen split/protocol/stress manifests
• normalized evidence files used by the paper
• result and table reproduction scripts
• paper tables and auditable completion bundles

This release candidate does not publish:

• raw vendor L2 market data
• full processed benchmark tensors/arrays reconstructed from licensed raw data

Why this release shape

This shape minimizes legal and licensing risk while preserving artifact auditability and paper-result reproducibility. Full raw-data reconstruction requires authorized access to the underlying market-data provider.

Directory map

• artifact_snapshot/release/: normalized 90D evidence snapshot used by the paper artifact
• artifact_snapshot/scripts/: scripts for reproducing tables from normalized evidence
• metadata/: artifact/source manifests
• paper_tables/generated_20260503/: generated table CSV/TEX/MD files
• review_bundle/: reviewer-oriented supplemental evidence bundle
• scripts/, configs/, src/, tests/: code required to inspect and run the benchmark tooling

Reproducibility boundary

Users can reproduce the paper tables/figures from the normalized evidence included here. Full end-to-end raw-data reconstruction is intentionally out of scope for this public release and requires separately authorized access to the underlying market-data provider.
