The Honesty Harness: A Protocol for Expert-Directed, AI-Executed Reproducible Research (v0.1, Priority Document)

Priority document (v0.1) freezing the formalization of the Honesty Harness: an operating protocol that enables a domain expert without programming knowledge to direct empirical research executed by AI agents, under explicit safeguards against researcher self-deception — verifiable pre-registration with cryptographic timestamping, bias controls as versioned artifacts, multi-level validation, adversarial multi-agent audit, full traceability, complete open publication, and bounded scope. First complete demonstration: a pre-registered, adversarially audited study of retail algorithmic trading (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21229492; OpenTimestamps, Bitcoin block 956,927). Full article in preparation. Bilingual document (English/Spanish).
