`true` – operational

Embed diagnostic artifacts into manifest.json’s diagnostics index.

Default. Diagnostic file paths and content hashes are recorded in manifest.diagnostics, so macroforecast.replicate(manifest_path) validates that every diagnostic re-runs to a bit-identical artifact. Required for reproducibility-critical sweeps.

When to use

Default; ensures replication includes the diagnostics.

`false` – operational

Keep diagnostic artifacts outside the manifest hash chain.

Files are still written to the run output directory but are not referenced by the manifest, so replicate() does not validate their hashes. Lighter-weight when the diagnostic surface is large and reproducibility is not the headline concern.

When to use

Long-running production sweeps where diagnostics blow up the manifest size.
