 Two variants are exposed:

-* :data:`SM2` — Split Miner 2.0, with a lifecycle-aware refined DFG,
-  a lifecycle-overlap concurrency oracle, and two heuristics for
-  improper-completion repair and OR-split identification.
+* :data:`SM2` — Split Miner 2.0: the same machinery driven by a
+  lifecycle-aware ``complete``-event DFG, an overlap-based concurrency
+  oracle for genuine lifecycle logs, a fixed frequency threshold
+  (``eta = 1.0``), inclusive joins left in place (``replaceIORs = false``)
+  plus the OR-split heuristic, and compact (marked) self-loops.
 
 Both variants return a :class:`pm4py.objects.bpmn.obj.BPMN`.
+
+Faithfulness and validation
+---------------------------
+Every stage (DFG filtering, concurrency oracle, Oracle split discovery,
+RPST-based SESE join discovery, OR-join replacement, gateway collapse)
+is a port of the reference Java Split Miner, intended to reproduce its
+output exactly rather than the idealised figures in the papers. The
+ports were validated against the original Java tools on the SM-Experiment
+corpus: classic Split Miner is byte-identical (isomorphic, same gateway
+labels) to ``splitminer.jar`` on the deterministic real-life logs, and
+SM2 is byte-identical to ``sm2.jar`` (``MineWithSMTC``) on 9 of 10
+reference logs (the tenth is non-deterministic in the Java tool itself).
+Because the target is the *tool*, not the papers, some hand-computed
+gateway counts from earlier tests changed: e.g. on the Augusto et al.
+(2019) running example the tool yields 2 AND-splits / 4 XOR-splits, not
+the 1 / 3 from the paper.
