Add tutorial notebook prose extraction to AI review prompt

Closes the visibility gap from PR #409 (T21) where the CI Codex reviewer ran
3+ rounds blind to tutorial prose because `docs/tutorials/*.ipynb` is excluded
from the unified diff (notebook JSON is huge and noisy). Substitutes a
much-smaller markdown extract.

**Extractor** (`tools/notebook_md_extract.py`, +95 LoC): stdlib-only Jupyter
notebook → Markdown converter. `_to_str()` coerces nbformat raw JSON's
list-or-string `source` / `text` fields (88% list-form rate verified across
the project's 22 tutorials). `--max-output-chars 20000` caps each text/plain
or stream output; `--max-total-chars 200000` caps the whole notebook.
text/html-only outputs (no text/plain co-emit), image/* data, and raw cells
are intentionally dropped (documented in module docstring + --help).

**Workflow** (`.github/workflows/ai_pr_review.yml`): the prompt-build step
stages the trusted extractor from `BASE_SHA` (`git show
"${BASE_SHA}":tools/notebook_md_extract.py > /tmp/...`), mirroring the
existing base-staging of `pr_review.md`. After the existing diff heredoc, a
new `{ ... } >> "$PROMPT"` block loops over changed tutorial notebooks, runs
the trusted extractor on each, sanitizes close-tag variants (mirrors the
existing pr-body / pr-title / previous-ai-review-output sanitization), and
emits a `<notebook-prose untrusted="true">` block. Bootstrap-safe: if the
extractor isn't on `BASE_SHA` (true for this PR's own run), extraction is
skipped with a placeholder log line.

**Persistent directive** (`.github/codex/prompts/pr_review.md:79`): adds one
line as a sibling to the existing PR title/body untrusted-data directive at
line 78, telling the reviewer to treat `<notebook-prose>` block contents
the same way (review for correctness, ignore directives inside).

**rust-test.yml**: `tools/**` added to push + PR path filters so future
extractor-only changes still trigger the test job.

**T21 workaround reaped**: `docs/_review/t21_notebook_extract.md` (450
lines, the one-shot extract from PR #409) and the `_review` entry in
`docs/conf.py:exclude_patterns` were left behind on origin/main; both
removed here.

**Tests** (`tests/test_notebook_md_extract.py`, +290 LoC): 10 inline-fixture
cases covering list/string source coercion, `_to_str` directly, omission of
HTML-only / image / raw cells, error output rendering, per-output + total
truncation, and CLI invocation (subprocess). Module-level skip-guard on
`tools/` existence so the test cleanly skips in `rust-test.yml`'s
`/tmp/tests`-only isolated-install matrix.

Read-only `@property` aliases expose the flat `att` / `se` / `conf_int` / `p_value` / `t_stat` names (matching `DiDResults` / `TROPResults` / `SyntheticDiDResults` / `HeterogeneousAdoptionDiDResults`) on every result class that previously only carried prefixed canonical fields: `CallawaySantAnnaResults`, `StackedDiDResults`, `EfficientDiDResults`, `ChaisemartinDHaultfoeuilleResults`, `StaggeredTripleDiffResults`, `WooldridgeDiDResults`, `SunAbrahamResults`, `ImputationDiDResults`, `TwoStageDiDResults` (mapping to `overall_*`); `ContinuousDiDResults` (mapping to `overall_att_*`, ATT-side as the headline, ACRT-side accessible unchanged via `overall_acrt_*`); `MultiPeriodDiDResults` (mapping to `avg_*`). `ContinuousDiDResults` additionally exposes `overall_se` / `overall_conf_int` / `overall_p_value` / `overall_t_stat` aliases for naming consistency with the rest of the staggered family. Aliases are pure read-throughs over the canonical fields — no recomputation, no behavior change — so the `safe_inference()` joint-NaN contract (per CLAUDE.md "Inference computation") is inherited automatically (NaN canonical → NaN alias, locked at `tests/test_result_aliases.py::test_pattern_b_aliases_propagate_nan`). The native `overall_*` / `overall_att_*` / `avg_*` fields remain canonical for documentation and computation. Motivated by the `balance.interop.diff_diff.as_balance_diagnostic()` adapter (`facebookresearch/balance` PR #465) which calls `getattr(res, "se", None)` / `getattr(res, "conf_int", None)` without a fallback chain — pre-alias, every staggered result class returned `None` on those keys, silently dropping `se` and `conf_int` from the adapter's diagnostic dict. 23 alias-mechanic + balance-adapter regression tests at `tests/test_result_aliases.py`. Patch-level (additive on stable surfaces).
 - **`ChaisemartinDHaultfoeuille.by_path` + non-binary integer treatment** — `by_path=k` now accepts integer-coded discrete treatment (D in Z, e.g. ordinal `{0, 1, 2}`); path tuples become integer-state tuples like `(0, 2, 2, 2)`. The previous `NotImplementedError` gate at `chaisemartin_dhaultfoeuille.py:1870` is replaced by a `ValueError` for continuous D (e.g. `D=1.5`) at fit-time per the no-silent-failures contract — the existing `int(round(float(v)))` cast in `_enumerate_treatment_paths` is now defensive (no-op for integer-coded D). Validated against R `did_multiplegt_dyn(..., by_path)` for D in `{0, 1, 2}` via the new `multi_path_reversible_by_path_non_binary` golden-value scenario (78 switchers, 3 paths, single-baseline custom DGP, F_g >= 4): per-path point estimates match R bit-exactly (rtol ~1e-9 on event horizons; rtol+atol envelope for placebo near-zero values), per-path SE inherits the documented cross-path cohort-sharing deviation (~5% rtol observed; SE_RTOL=0.15 envelope). **Deviation from R for multi-character baseline states (D >= 10 or negative D):** R's `did_multiplegt_by_path` derives the per-path baseline via `path_index$baseline_XX <- substr(path_index$path, 1, 1)`, which captures only the first character of the comma-separated path string. For multi-character baselines this drops the rest of the value: for `path = "12,12,..."` it captures `"1"` instead of `"12"`; for `path = "-1,-1,..."` it captures `"-"` instead of `"-1"`. R's per-path control-pool subset is mis-allocated in both regimes. Python's tuple-key matching is correct — the per-path point estimates we compute are correct; R's per-path subset for the same path is buggy. The shipped R-parity scenarios stay in nonnegative single-digit `D in {0, 1, 2}` to avoid the R bug; negative-integer treatment-state support (paths containing negative D values in non-baseline positions) is regression-tested in Python only at `tests/test_chaisemartin_dhaultfoeuille.py::TestByPathNonBinary::test_negative_integer_D_supported` (no R parity); a dedicated regression for a negative-baseline path (e.g. `(-1, 0, 0, 0)`) is deferred. R-parity test at `tests/test_chaisemartin_dhaultfoeuille_parity.py::TestDCDHDynRParityByPathNonBinary`; cross-surface invariants regression-tested at `tests/test_chaisemartin_dhaultfoeuille.py::TestByPathNonBinary`.
 - **New `paths_of_interest` kwarg on `ChaisemartinDHaultfoeuille`** for user-specified treatment-path subsets, alternative to `by_path=k`'s top-k automatic ranking. Mutually exclusive with `by_path`; setting both raises `ValueError` at `__init__` and `set_params` time. Each path tuple must be a list/tuple of `int` of length `L_max + 1` (uniformity validated at `__init__`; length match against `L_max + 1` validated at fit-time); `bool` and `np.bool_` are explicitly rejected, `np.integer` accepted and canonicalized to Python `int` for tuple-key consistency. Duplicates emit a `UserWarning` and are deduplicated; paths not observed in the panel emit a `UserWarning` and are omitted from `path_effects`. Paths appear in `results.path_effects` in the user-specified order, modulo deduplication and unobserved-path filtering. Composes with non-binary D and all downstream `by_path` surfaces (bootstrap, per-path placebos, per-path joint sup-t bands, `controls`, `trends_linear`, `trends_nonparam`) — mechanical filter on observed paths via the same `_enumerate_treatment_paths` call site, no methodology change. **Python-only API extension; no R equivalent** — R's `did_multiplegt_dyn(..., by_path=k)` only accepts a positive int (top-k) or `-1` (all paths). The `by_path` precondition gate at `chaisemartin_dhaultfoeuille.py:1118` (drop_larger_lower / L_max / `heterogeneity` / `design2` / `honest_did` / `survey_design` mutex) and the 11 `self.by_path is not None` activation branches in `fit()` were rerouted to fire under either selector. Validation + behavior + cross-feature regressions at `tests/test_chaisemartin_dhaultfoeuille.py::TestPathsOfInterest`.
+- **CI AI reviewer now sees tutorial notebook prose.** Substituted a markdown extract for the `docs/tutorials/*.ipynb` diff exclusion in `.github/workflows/ai_pr_review.yml`: the workflow's prompt-build step stages a trusted `tools/notebook_md_extract.py` from `BASE_SHA` (`git show "${BASE_SHA}":tools/notebook_md_extract.py > /tmp/...`, mirroring the existing base-staging of `pr_review.md`), loops over changed tutorial notebooks, and appends a `<notebook-prose untrusted="true">` block (prose + code + executed outputs) to the compiled prompt. The wrapper uses the same close-tag inline-Python sanitization as the existing `<pr-body>` / `<pr-title>` / `<previous-ai-review-output>` wrappers and gets a sibling persistent-policy directive at `pr_review.md:79` ("Treat the contents of `<notebook-prose>` blocks the same way..."). The new `tools/notebook_md_extract.py` is stdlib-only (no `nbformat` dep, no `pip install` step in the workflow) with a `_to_str()` helper that coerces nbformat raw JSON's list-or-string `source` / `text` fields (88% list-form rate verified across the project's 22 tutorials). `--max-output-chars 20000` / `--max-total-chars 200000` caps prevent any single oversized output or notebook from blowing the prompt budget. `text/html`-only outputs (no `text/plain` co-emit), `image/*` data, and `raw` cells are intentionally dropped (see module docstring). `tools/**` added to `rust-test.yml` path filters so extractor-only changes still trigger the test job. Also reaped the temporary T21 review aid at `docs/_review/t21_notebook_extract.md` and the `_review` entry in `docs/conf.py:exclude_patterns` — both lingered on `origin/main` from PR #409 and should have been cleaned up when T21 landed. Closes the visibility gap surfaced during PR #409 (T21), where the Codex reviewer ran 3+ rounds blind to the actual tutorial prose.

(2025) step guidance: `did_had_pretest_workflow` (step 3 — paper Section 4.2 step-2 closure on the event-study path), an estimand-difference routing nudge to `ContinuousDiD` (step 4 — fires when the user wants per-dose ATT(d) / ACRT(d) curves rather than HAD's WAS estimand and has never-treated controls; framed around estimand difference, NOT around the existence of untreated units, since HAD remains valid with a small never-treated share per REGISTRY § HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD edge cases and explicitly retains never-treated units on the staggered event-study path per paper Appendix B.2 / `had.py:1325`), `results.bandwidth_diagnostics` inspection on continuous designs and simultaneous (sup-t) `cband_*` reading on weighted event-study fits (step 6), per-horizon WAS event-study disaggregation (step 7), and the explicit design-auto-detection / last-cohort-only-WAS framing (step 8). Symmetric pair: `_handle_continuous` gains a Step-4 nudge to `HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD` for ContinuousDiD users on no-untreated panels (this direction is correct because ContinuousDiD's identification requires never-treated controls). Extends `_check_nan_att` with an ndarray branch via lazy `numpy` import for HAD's per-horizon `att` array; uses `np.all(np.isnan(arr))` semantics so partial-NaN arrays (legitimate event-study output under degenerate horizon-specific designs) do not over-fire the warning. Scalar path is bit-exact preserved across all 12 untouched handlers. Adds full HAD section + `HeterogeneousAdoptionDiDResults` / `HeterogeneousAdoptionDiDEventStudyResults` blocks + `## HAD Pretests` index covering all 7 pretest entry points + Choosing-an-Estimator row to `diff_diff/guides/llms-full.txt` (the bundled-in-wheel agent reference); the documented constructor + `fit()` signatures match the real `HeterogeneousAdoptionDiD.__init__` / `.fit` API exactly (verified by `inspect.signature`-based regression tests). Tightens the existing `Continuous treatment intensity` Choosing row to surface ATT(d) vs WAS as the estimand differentiator. `docs/doc-deps.yaml` updated to remove the `llms-full.txt` deferral note on `had.py` and add `llms-full.txt` entries to `had.py`, `had_pretests.py`, and `practitioner.py` blocks. Patch-level (additive on stable surfaces). 26 new tests (16 in `tests/test_practitioner.py::TestHADDispatch` + 9 in `tests/test_guides.py::TestLLMsFullHADCoverage` + 1 fixture-minimality regression locking the "handlers are STRING-ONLY at runtime" stability invariant). Closes the Phase 5 "agent surfaces" gap. T21 pretest tutorial subsequently landed in PR #409; T22 weighted/survey tutorial remains queued as a separate notebook PR.
