    "and software versions are absent. Detected the associated code repository "
    "https://github.com/jmiao24/Paper2Agent from an inline link in the paper "

    "substantive README, dependencies file, notebooks, figure-plotting script, "
    "recent activity, permissive license. Missing: data/fixtures directory. "
