Subject: [PATCH] Add Post-Task Reflection and Study Debrief screens.
- Added `#screen-manipulation` and `#screen-debrief` to index.html before the outro screen.
- Modified `code/experiment.js` to route through the new screens before executing the batch payload.
- Appended `manipulation_noticed` to `STATE.results` for every trial row.

Post-Task Reflection

During the UI evaluation, did you notice any specific labels, badges, or recommendations attached to the design options?

Study Debriefing
+
Thank you for your participation.
+
The true purpose of this study was not to test beta UI designs for a university portal. We are investigating informational influence—specifically, whether the presence of an "AI Recommended" badge alters human decision-making and cognitive processing time when faced with ambiguous choices.
+
Because knowing this beforehand would have changed your natural behavior, we could not disclose it until now. Your data remains completely anonymous and will be used strictly for academic research.
