 ### Added
 
+- **Fit-results archive — save, reload, and compare fits.** Every completed `File.fit_baseline` / `fit_spectrum` / `fit_slice_by_slice` / `fit_2d` is now captured as a slot in an in-memory fit history, surfaced as a read-only `FitResults` view through the new `Project.results` property (so refits no longer clobber earlier results the way `File.model_*.result` did). `Project.save_fits(path)` persists the current snapshot to a self-contained HDF5 archive (default `./fit_results/<project>.fit.h5`; stores raw data, per-slot `observed` + `fit` on the actual fit grid, metrics, and full fit-view identity), and `FitResults.load(path)` / `Project.load_fits(path)` reload it — the former with no live `Project` needed. `FitResults` (now a top-level export alongside `File`, `Project`, `Simulator`, `PlotConfig`) provides `.find()`, `.get()`, `.files()`, `.models()`, `.compare_models()`, and `.plot_residuals()`; `File.compare_models()` is kept as per-file sugar. `Project.export_fits()` / `File.export_fit()` give a one-way CSV + PNG dump of the current fits. v1 archives fit *outputs* and metrics, not a rehydratable model graph; project-scoped joint-fit slots are deferred.
+- **σ-calibrated fit metrics and `File.set_sigma()`.** Each fit now computes and stores `chi2_raw`, `chi2_red_raw`, `chi2`, `chi2_red`, `r2`, `aic`, and `bic` (per-slice for Slice-by-Slice; a single value otherwise). Raw lmfit-unweighted diagnostics are always named `chi2_raw` / `chi2_red_raw`; the σ-calibrated values (`≈ 1` for a fit at the noise floor) are always named `chi2` / `chi2_red` and are `NaN` unless a noise sigma was set. `File.set_sigma(...)` records forward-looking file noise state (also inheritable from flat `project.yaml` defaults) that materializes into each saved slot; requesting calibrated metrics with no sigma set raises with a pointer to `set_sigma` / the raw metric name.
+- **`Project.auto_export` toggle**: gates the automatic CSV/PNG side effects of `File.fit_baseline` / `fit_spectrum` / `fit_slice_by_slice` / `fit_2d` and `Project.fit_2d`. Default `True` preserves existing behavior; set `project.auto_export = False` (or `auto_export: false` in `project.yaml`) to suppress fit-completion writes for parameter sweeps, ML training-data generation, and real-time-fitting workflows. Explicit `File.export_fit` / `Project.export_fits` / `Project.save_fits` always write regardless of the flag. The legacy `save_baseline_fit` / `save_spectrum_fit` / `_save_sbs_fit_legacy` / `_save_2d_fit_legacy` auto-calls and the `fit_wrapper(save_output=...)` CSV dumps are gated by `auto_export`. The in-fit `plt_fit_res_1d` plot calls are skipped entirely (not just suppressed) when neither saving nor showing is wanted — important for SbS where rendering each per-slice figure is non-trivial work. A small pure helper `utils.plot._save_img_flag(save=..., show=...)` maps already-decided booleans onto the legacy `save_img` int, keeping the save/show decisions explicit at each call site rather than hidden inside a Project method.
 - **Slice-by-Slice parallelism**: `File.fit_slice_by_slice()` accepts an `n_workers` keyword argument that dispatches per-slice fits across a `ProcessPoolExecutor` using the `spawn` start method (only portable option — Windows lacks `fork`). Default is `os.cpu_count() - 1`, capped at the number of slices. Set `n_workers=1` to keep the original serial path as a debug escape hatch. Workers reuse one pickled model installed at startup, render plots with the non-interactive Agg backend, and report progress via `tqdm`. On Linux/macOS spawn startup is a few hundred ms per worker; on Windows ~1-2s per worker, so very small fits (~< 20 slices) usually want `n_workers=1`. SbS seeding is now explicit too: `seed_source` chooses the shared template (`"model"`, `"baseline"`, or `"explicit"`), and `seed_adapt` controls the optional per-slice x0 tweak (`None` or `"argmax_shift"`).
 - `Model`, `Component`, and `Par` are now pickleable (and therefore deep-copyable) via `__getstate__` / `__setstate__`. This enables `copy.deepcopy(model)` and lets live models cross process boundaries, which unblocks future multiprocessing workflows and fixes latent MCMC parallelism (see `Fixed`). Pickled instances are for short-lived transfer, not persistence — parent back-references (`parent_file`, `parent_model`) and transient fit state (`const`, `args`) are nulled.
+- Example workflow `10_model_comparison/` walks the full save / load / compare loop end to end: fit two competing models at baseline, Slice-by-Slice, and 2D levels, rank them with `File.compare_models()` (including `sbs_aggregation` modes), persist with `File.save_fit()`, and reload + re-compare via `FitResults.load()` with no live `Project`.

 - **MCMC `workers > 1`**: `lmfit.emcee(workers=N)` via `ulmfit.MC(workers=N)` previously failed with `TypeError: cannot pickle 'module' object` because the residual closure carried a live module reference. The pickleable-model work plus the `spec_lib` removal close both sources of the error; MCMC parallel sampling now works end-to-end.
 - **Cross-component expressions across the pickle boundary**: `Model.__getstate__` nulled `parent_model` on every `Par`, which broke `Par._evaluate_dynamic_expression` because it resolves expression references through `parent_model.get_all_parameters()`. Any model whose expression on one Par references a `t_vary` or `p_vary` Par on a different component (e.g. roundtrip family F12) raised `NameError` after unpickling. `Model.__setstate__` now rewires the intra-Model `parent_model` back-refs (Components, Pars, and any attached `Par.t_model` / `Par.p_model` sub-Models) from `self`, so `lmfit.emcee(workers > 1)` and `fit_slice_by_slice(n_workers > 1)` work on those models too.
+- **Profiled parameters with convolution (IRF) dynamics on the compiled fast path**: a profiled parameter whose time-dynamics included a convolution (e.g. `MonoExpPosIRF`) failed to lower through the GIR `schedule_2d` backend. The convolution-chain walk now resolves to the underlying parameter node correctly, so profile-param IRF dynamics fit through the compiled evaluator instead of falling back.

 ## Fitting
 
-- [ ] **Fit results save/load**: HDF5 output for fit results, `File.load_fit()` to restore, `File.compare_models()` for model comparison. Keep project/global-fit outputs separate from true file-level fits so users do not assume identical per-file fields/statistics.
 - [ ] **Mismatched initial guesses**: round-trip tests — one each for basic, profile, profile+dynamics.
 
 Note: `fitlib.py` hardcodes `__lnsigma` value/min/max for MCMC sampling — make configurable via `mc_settings` if users need it.
 
+## Noise and simulation
+
+- [ ] **Simulator noise-language cleanup**: align simulator docs/metadata with the fit-results noise schema. Keep simulator `noise_type` meaning "noise distribution / random generator" (`gaussian`, `poisson`, `none`), not sigma shape. Fix the stale `Simulator.set_noise_type()` docstring that mentions `uniform`; clarify `detection` vs. `noise_type` vs. `noise_level`; and, for analog Gaussian simulations, consider saving the derived `sigma_data = noise_level * max(abs(clean_data))` alongside existing metadata. For parameter sweeps, store derived `sigma_data` per configuration when it depends on each clean dataset.
+- [ ] **Future `sigma_type` expansion in FitResults**: after the first constant, user-supplied sigma schema lands, extend uncertainty handling beyond scalar `sigma_data`. Keep `noise_type` for the statistical assumption/distribution and use `sigma_type` for sigma shape: initially `constant`, later `per_spectrum` and `per_point`. Add HDF5 storage, validation, baseline/SBS/2D alignment, `compare_models()` behavior, and tests for vector/matrix sigma. Defer automatic Poisson-derived sigma until residual-space variance propagation is explicit.

 ## Performance & architecture
 
 - [ ] **Project-level fit backend**: `Project.fit_2d()` already supports `Project`/`File`/`Static` vary levels, but it currently evaluates through `fit_project_mcp()` and `Model.create_value_2d()` rather than the GIR scheduler/evaluator path. Decide whether to lower the multi-file residual to GIR or explicitly prefer project-managed per-file loops when we want maximum graph-IR speedups.

 - [ ] **Document API tiers**: add a short guide that separates stable user API (`Project`, `File`, `Simulator`, `PlotConfig`), advanced public API (`mcp.Model`, `Component`, `Par`, `ParameterSweep`, `MC`), and internal implementation modules (`graph_ir`, `eval_1d`, `eval_2d`, low-level parsing/HDF5 helpers). Use this as the source of truth for docs, tests, examples, and AI-agent guidance.
 - [ ] **Add tool-neutral agent orientation**: add `AGENTS.md` or `docs/ai/agent-orientation.md` pointing agents to `CLAUDE.md`, `TODO.md`, `PLAN.md`, `docs/design/repo_architecture.md`, supported-model docs, common commands, and API-change guardrails. Keep it concise so any LLM can quickly find the intended workflow and repo boundaries.
 - [ ] **Add more AI-friendly task recipes**: extend `docs/ai/` with checklists for common repo changes, such as adding YAML syntax, adding plotting options, changing fitting workflows, modifying GIR/evaluator behavior, extending save/load fields, and preparing a release.
+- [ ] **Upgrade example organization**: reorganize notebooks around user workflow tracks (data preparation, single-file fitting, multi-file fitting, synthetic data) and update the docs navigation accordingly. See [docs/design/examples_upgrade.md](docs/design/examples_upgrade.md).
 - [ ] **Add minimal runnable workflow examples**: supplement notebooks with small script-like examples or docs snippets for the canonical public workflows: load data, load a model, set limits, fit baseline, fit 2D, inspect results, simulate data, and run a parameter sweep.
 - [ ] **Improve public validation errors**: make user-facing errors state what failed, where it failed (file/model/component/parameter when applicable), and what the user or agent should change next. Prioritize YAML parsing, model loading, fit setup, and unsupported-model fallback paths.
 - [ ] **Tighten public type hints and aliases**: reduce ambiguous `Any` on public APIs, document key aliases such as `ModelRef`, and keep return types crisp for IDEs, Pyright, generated docs, and LLM code navigation.
