-This folder contains the assets and code required for running the large-scale group experiments on Empirica. This folder is a Git submodule; it links to another GitHub repository, which manages the version control for its contents.
+The Empirica experiment code is hosted in a dedicated repository to keep this site’s static build lightweight and avoid submodule issues in GitHub Pages:

+- Repository: https://github.com/Watts-Lab/multi-task-empirica
+- App tasks: https://github.com/Watts-Lab/multi-task-empirica/tree/master/multi-task-app/customTasks/

+If you need a local copy alongside this repo, clone it next to the current directory or into `multi-task-empirica/` manually. It is not included as a submodule to prevent CI failures during Pages deployment.
