Adds docs/SUBMISSION_DECLARATION.md, the pre-existing work declaration, so it is in the repository for judges and can be copied into the submission form.

The rule

• Cutoff: 2026-10-22 00:00 UTC.
• The author timestamp decides (confirmed by Clément).
• Baseline: main at f613d03 (2026-10-18, last commit before the cutoff), plus PR fix(core): logic defects, repo hygiene, a live-Overpass CI flake, explicit rule typing #24's 8c071aa (2026-10-21 19:13 UTC) and 2113145 (20:21 UTC). These two were authored before the cutoff and merged after it, and are listed explicitly as pre-existing.
• Everything else is after the cutoff. No other commit outside the baseline was authored before it, except those on the unmerged Dependabot PRs chore(ci): bump actions/download-artifact from 7 to 8 in the actions group across 1 directory #18–chore(deps): bump bcrypt from 4.1.3 to 5.0.0 in /backend #23, which are not in main or the submitted branch.

Contents

1. Pre-existing work: commit counts by author up to the baseline, what the baseline contained, and the two PR fix(core): logic defects, repo hygiene, a live-Overpass CI flake, explicit rule typing #24 commits.
2. New work:
   • Every PR from fix(core): logic defects, repo hygiene, a live-Overpass CI flake, explicit rule typing #24 to Add metadata.json (machine-readable project summary) #50 with its author and state.
   • New files, attributed to the commit that first added them.
   • Pre-existing files changed since the baseline, with line counts and authors.
3. Third-party code and data: the Meterless H-MEM port (Apache-2.0), UN/LOCODE, the World Port Index, and the official-page snapshots.

Every figure comes from git log and the GitHub PR commit lists. The reproduce commands are in the file.

Checks

• Author times re-checked for the baseline and for every commit after it.
• The open PRs said to be in the submitted branch (Zetaris adapter (plan phase 1) #26, Integrate Meterless H-MEM port-verification memory #28, Add Nightshift-first generator with Nemotron fallback and opt-in LLM hook #30, Runnable PoE pipeline: run.py, POST /run, orchestrator with load-bearing H-MEM and Nightshift #32) are verified as ancestors of feat; Evaluator follow-ups: strict official sources and parallel-safe trace tests #29 is missing one commit.
• docs/check_md_links.py: 0 dead links.
• The file contains no credential value.
