Pre-registration: histogram budget of coverage-aware chain ordering (FedDAC-Order) under record-level differential privacy
Pre-registration of an experiment for the study 'Grouping or Ordering? Coverage-Aware Sequential Federated Learning under Label Skew'. Section 7 of ORDER_PLAN.md, the analysis script and the job grid were fixed at commit dde633521f3c50962ef1a61d43f51b94dc330020 of the study repository before any run of block L14; this record timestamps them. Primary hypothesis H5: at a total budget eps = 1 split as eps_h + eps_sgd, FedDAC-Order with the histogram budget eps_h selected on the validation split (from 0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5) versus random grouping with random chain order (exact two-sided Wilcoxon over seeds 0-9, Holm over CIFAR-10 and MNIST), with a pre-stated reading of the deficit.
