Use when hardening the reproducibility of a SOSP paper's results before submission — pinning the OS-level environment, recording hardware and topology, making every figure regenerable from logged runs, separating measurement noise from effect size, and preparing the ground for post-acceptance artifact evaluation.

# SOSP Reproducibility

Use this while experiments are being designed and run — months before the SOSP
deadline, not during artifact evaluation. At SOSP the artifact process happens after
acceptance (see `sosp-artifact-evaluation`), which means reproducibility discipline has
a different job pre-submission: it protects **you**. Reviewers probe numbers during a
three-month review cycle and a response phase in which new experiments are forbidden;
the only defensible paper is one whose every number can be traced to a logged,
re-runnable measurement of a pinned system.

## The OS-research twist: your system changes the platform

An operating-systems artifact often *is* the environment — a modified kernel, a new
scheduler, an interposed I/O path. That collapses the usual app/platform separation and
