How many public games did kramnik play against programs before the match?
The 'production' program does not have to play games before the match because
the 'production' kramnik also did not play games before the match but only an
old kramnik who knew less.

The commercial program played a lot of games before the match and it should be
enough for kramnik.

 If *any*, how

It is 1000 games of an old kramnik.

Kramnik can also get games of old Fritz's and many ssdf games of Deep Fritz.

I suspect that if the conditions are that the player can get the program 3
monthes before the match every GM can beat the program.

All you have to do is to plan 1 game per day against the program and learn the
games in order to play similiar games.

parallel programs are not deterministic and the new version in october is going
to be slightly different than the version that beated Junior but still you can
get similiar games to the games that you plan and it is a big advantage.
