Options
histogram_overlay – operational
Overlaid histograms (raw vs cleaned).
L2.5.B distribution view histogram_overlay.
This option configures the distribution_view axis on the L2_5_B_distribution_shift sub-layer of L2.5; output is emitted under manifest.diagnostics/l2_5/L2_5_B_distribution_shift/ alongside the other selected views.
When to use
Eyeballing distribution-shift magnitude; the most intuitive view for sharing with non-technical stakeholders.

multi – operational
Produce all three views together.
L2.5.B distribution view multi.
This option configures the distribution_view axis on the L2_5_B_distribution_shift sub-layer of L2.5; output is emitted under manifest.diagnostics/l2_5/L2_5_B_distribution_shift/ alongside the other selected views.
When to use
Default rich diagnostic for distribution-shift audits.

qq_plot – operational
Q-Q plot of cleaned vs raw quantiles.
L2.5.B distribution view qq_plot.
This option configures the distribution_view axis on the L2_5_B_distribution_shift sub-layer of L2.5; output is emitted under manifest.diagnostics/l2_5/L2_5_B_distribution_shift/ alongside the other selected views.
When to use
Detecting tail-deformation patterns; deviations from the 45° line localise where cleaning altered the distribution.

summary_table – operational
Tabular distribution-metric summary.
L2.5.B distribution view summary_table.
This option configures the distribution_view axis on the L2_5_B_distribution_shift sub-layer of L2.5; output is emitted under manifest.diagnostics/l2_5/L2_5_B_distribution_shift/ alongside the other selected views.
When to use
Compact numeric summary per series; pairs naturally with distribution_metric choices.
