Reranker and Contract-Violation Reporting Policy in Strict-Parity Headlines

Two reporting rules accompany the paper's strict-parity contract. Systems that add an extra learned reranker beyond the matched dense interface are reported alongside the headline numbers but interpreted separately, because the added rerank step changes the interface and so cannot be directly compared under strict parity. Best-effort baselines that violate the contract — for example by changing the encoder, cutoff, candidate pool, or matching rule — are moved to the supplement rather than appearing in the headline table. The policy preserves a clean strict-parity headline while still surfacing systems that are useful but interface-incompatible.
