Harden cache_msa: pick valid FASTA a3m + strip null bytes

Pilot validated the MSA-reuse architecture (1 server query, cached &
reused -- server hammering fixed) but Boltz's INPUT a3m parser crashed on
the cached file: KeyError '\x00'. Boltz writes several .a3m files (some
binary); we were grabbing a bad one.

Fix: select the largest a3m that looks like FASTA (starts with '>'), and
strip null bytes before caching. Raise with the candidate list if none
qualifies (so we can see what's there).

Pilot status: MSA caching + reuse confirmed working; this fixes the
a3m-format crash. Re-validate with a 2-drug pilot before the full run.

+
+> **Status: scoped, not committed.** This is a follow-on track proposed *after* the MVP and its
+> follow-up experiments. It does not change the MVP's locked decisions (§2); it responds to what
+> those experiments empirically showed. Read §9–11 and the experiment commits first.
+
+### 12.1 Why pivot modality (the evidence, not a hunch)
+
+The expression-connectivity approach was built, validated, and pushed hard (gene-space
+expansion, cell-composition deconvolution, reference-library tau, supervised learning). The
+empirical verdict:
+
+- Connectivity **recovers hydroxyurea** (top ~6–8%) but **cannot achieve specificity** —
+  unrelated drugs (norethindrone, ciprofloxacin) score as strong reversers. Unfixed by four
+  independent methods.
+- A supervised model on indication labels hit **0.925 CV AUC** — but it was a **degree-bias
+  mirage**: it learned drug popularity, not disease matching (it ranked hydroxyurea *231/300*).
+- The decisive test: with drug-popularity features removed, the model trained on the actual
+  drug↔disease connectivity scored **AUC 0.491 — pure chance**. **The expression-connectivity
+  modality contains essentially no disease-specific therapeutic signal for this task.**
+
+This is a *signal* problem, not a *model* problem — no amount of model sophistication (diffusion,
+GNNs, etc.) extracts signal that isn't in the data. The response is to **change modality** to one
+with a strong, physical, drug-specific signal: **does a molecule bind a sickle-relevant target?**
+A drug that binds HbS is mechanistically specific by construction — the opposite of a coincidental
+expression reverser. Structure is also where the generative-AI frontier (AlphaFold3, which is
+itself a diffusion model) actually has traction, because structure has physical ground truth.
+
+### 12.2 Targets (sickle-specific, druggable, structurally characterised)
+
+Small molecules only (§2). Curated shortlist with public structures and, crucially, **known
+small-molecule binders to serve as positive controls**:
+
+| Target | Mechanism in sickle | Known binder (positive control) |
+|---|---|---|
+| Hemoglobin (HBB/HBA tetramer, HbS) | Anti-polymerisation; R-state stabiliser | **voxelotor** (binds α-Val1) |
+| PKR (PKLR, red-cell pyruvate kinase) | Activator → ↓2,3-BPG → ↑O2 affinity | **mitapivat**, etavopivat |
+| DNMT1 | HbF induction (de-repress γ-globin) | **decitabine**, azacitidine |
+| LSD1 / KDM1A | HbF induction | tranylcypromine analogues |
+| HDAC1/2 | HbF induction | vorinostat, panobinostat |
+| EHMT2 (G9a) | HbF induction | UNC0642 (tool) |
+| PDE9 | ↑cGMP, anti-adhesion | PF-04447943 (sickle trial) |
+
+Hard/excluded for v1: **BCL11A** (transcription factor, no classic pocket — the γ-globin master
+repressor but not small-molecule-tractable yet) and any gene-therapy / biologic mechanism.
+
+### 12.3 Method (baseline → generative co-folding)
+
+1. **Prepare structures.** Pull target structures from the PDB; AF3/Boltz-predict any missing.
+2. **Prepare ligands.** Reuse the existing ~300-drug set (we already have canonical SMILES from
+   ChEMBL); expandable to the full ChEMBL/LINCS catalogue.
+3. **Dock + score**, in increasing sophistication:
+   - **Baseline:** classical docking (AutoDock Vina / smina) — fast, CPU, well-understood.
+   - **Generative co-folding:** an open AlphaFold3-class model — **Boltz-2** (predicts the
+     protein–ligand complex *and* a binding-affinity estimate, MIT-licensed), **Chai-1**, or
+     **DiffDock** (a diffusion model for docking — the legitimate home for the "diffusion"
+     instinct). These predict the bound pose directly and tend to beat classical docking.
+   - Report both; the baseline keeps us honest about whether the ML model adds anything.
+
+### 12.4 Validation (a real recovery test, like §6 Week 4)
+
+Pre-register before scoring: **the known structure-based sickle drugs must rank as top binders to
+their targets** — voxelotor→hemoglobin, mitapivat→PKR, decitabine→DNMT1. Negative controls
+(unrelated drugs) must *not* bind these pockets. This is a cleaner recovery test than the
+expression one, because binding is mechanistically specific — it should not have the
+coincidental-reverser problem that sank the connectivity approach.
+
+### 12.5 The real prize — integrate, don't replace
+
+The long-term value is **both modalities together**: a candidate that *reverses the disease
+signature* (expression) **and** *binds a sickle-relevant target* (structure) is far more credible
+than either alone. Structure supplies the specificity the expression layer lacks; expression
+supplies the systems-level, target-agnostic view structure lacks. The platform thesis (§11) —
+two databases + a matching engine — extends naturally to a third (structures) feeding the same
+confidence-tiered data layer.
+
+### 12.6 Honest pitfalls (do not ignore)
+
+1. **Binding ≠ efficacy.** A molecule can bind and do nothing therapeutic. Structure-based hits
+   are still hypotheses (cf. §9.7).
+2. **Only covers the enzyme/pocket subset.** Sickle's biggest lever (γ-globin reactivation via
+   BCL11A) is largely transcriptional and not small-molecule-tractable — structure-based screening
+   is blind to it. Be explicit about coverage.
+3. **Docking/affinity accuracy is limited.** Pose prediction is decent; absolute affinity is hard.
+   Validate on known binders before trusting novel scores.
+4. **Compute.** AF3-class models are GPU-heavy; the local Mac Studio (§2) may not suffice — this
+   track likely needs a GPU box or cloud, the first MVP dependency to break the "all local" rule.
+5. **Moat.** Structures and tools are public; the proprietary value is the curated target list,
+   the integration with the expression layer, and provenance/tiering — not the docker.
+
+### 12.7 Explicitly NOT in this track
+
+Free energy perturbation / MD-based affinity; covalent docking; **de novo generation of molecules
+as final candidates to synthesise** (design, not repurposing — but see §12.9 for the
+generate-then-retrieve hybrid, which *is* repurposing); BCL11A or any non-pocket target;
+biologics; combination binding.
+
+### 12.8 Open decisions before committing
+
+- **Tooling:** classical-docking baseline first, or straight to Boltz-2/DiffDock? (Recommend:
+  baseline first, for an honest reference — the lesson of the whole expression arc.)
+- **Compute:** secure a GPU environment (the "all local" §2 assumption breaks here).
+- **Scope of v1:** the 7-target shortlist above, or start with just Hb + PKR (the two with the
+  cleanest positive controls) to de-risk the harness before scaling targets.
+
+### 12.9 Door left open — generative-guided retrieval (generate → match existing)
+
+A legitimate way to bring generative models *into the repurposing frame* (vs the design frame
+excluded in §12.7): don't generate molecules to synthesise — generate them as a **search beacon**.
+
+**The idea.** Use a pocket-conditioned generative model (target-conditioned diffusion — e.g.
+TargetDiff, DiffSBDD, Pocket2Mol) to propose idealised binders for a sickle target. Then retrieve
+the **nearest existing drugs** to those proposals by chemical similarity (Tanimoto over Morgan
+fingerprints, or a learned molecular embedding). The retrieved neighbours — real, already-approved
+or clinical molecules — are the repurposing candidates. The generated molecule is never made; it
+only *defines a region of chemical space* worth searching. This is the user-proposed framing and
+it is sound: "generate the ideal, then find what we already have nearby."
+
+**Why it could add value.** It can point at scaffolds / regions a known-binder-seeded or
+brute-force docking sweep would miss, and it makes the target's binding requirements explicit as
+geometry rather than as a single reference ligand.
+
+**Honest caveats (why it's a *door*, not a commitment).**
+1. **Generated molecules are often synthetically unrealistic / invalid** — which is exactly why
+   they must be used only as beacons, never as candidates.
+2. **Similarity ≠ activity.** Activity cliffs mean a near-neighbour of a good binder can be inert.
+   So retrieved neighbours do **not** bypass validation — they must still be docked/scored (§12.3)
+   and clear the binding recovery test (§12.4). The generative step *proposes*; it does not *prove*.
+3. **Marginal-value question.** Directly docking the whole existing library (§12.3) already covers
+   chemical space. Whether generate-then-retrieve beats that — by efficiency or by surfacing
+   non-obvious scaffolds — is an open empirical question and needs a head-to-head before it earns
+   real investment.
+4. **Only as good as the pocket conditioning** of the generator, and the chemistry of the target.
+
+**Status:** explore only *after* the §12.3–12.4 docking harness works and is validated on the
+known binders — same discipline as everywhere else: prove the baseline, then test whether the
+fancier method adds anything.

+# GPU plan — ephemeral AF3-class co-folding for the binding track
+
+Goal: run AF3-class co-folding (Boltz-2 / DiffDock) on a GPU for the structure-binding track
+(§12), then **pay nothing when idle**. The work is *bursty* (a validation run, then a screen),
+the inputs are *tiny*, so the design optimises for zero idle cost, not for a persistent box.
+
+## What actually has to move (small!)
+
+| Thing | Size | How it gets to the GPU |
+|---|---|---|
+| Code | KB | `git clone` the gitea repo (or mount) |
+| Target structures (PDBs) | a few MB | in the repo / git |
+| Ligands (SMILES, drug set) | KB | in the repo / git |
+| **Model weights** (Boltz-2 / DiffDock) | **~2–6 GB** | downloaded once, **cached in a persistent volume** |
+| Results (poses, scores, RMSDs) | KB–MB | `git push` back / download |
+
+The 27 GB LINCS data is **not** part of this track — nothing big to upload. The only thing worth
+persisting is the model-weights cache (so we don't re-download = re-pay GPU time every run).
+
+## How the model weights persist (the cost-saver)
+
+A `modal.Volume` is a **named, cloud-backed filesystem that lives independently of any container
+or GPU** — it survives every teardown. Mounted into the function at `/weights`:
+
+- **Run 1:** `/weights` is empty → the model downloads weights there (the one-time slow cost).
+- **Run 2+:** the same Volume mounts with the files already present → download skipped → **no
+  GPU-billed seconds wasted re-fetching 5 GB.**
+
+Two things make it actually cache:
+1. **Point the downloader at the mount** (weights only persist if written under `/weights`):
+   `HF_HOME=/weights/hf` (HuggingFace), `TORCH_HOME=/weights/torch`, `boltz --cache /weights/boltz`.
+2. **Commit semantics:** writes persist on `weights.commit()` (modern Modal also auto-commits on a
+   clean exit); other containers see them after `weights.reload()`. Pattern: `reload()` → run →
+   `commit()`.
+
+The Volume itself costs pennies (~$/GB-month of storage), *separate from the GPU* — so caching ~5 GB
+of weights is near-free and saves real GPU time on every subsequent run.
+(Alternative: bake weights into the image at build time via `image.run_function(download)` — fastest
+cold start, but the image rebuilds when weights change. The skeleton uses the Volume approach.)
+
+## Provider choice
+
+| Option | Billing | Idle cost | "Kill" model | Best for |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Modal** (recommended) | per-second | **$0 (scales to zero)** | automatic — nothing to remember | bursty batch runs |
+| RunPod | per-minute, on-demand/spot | only while pod exists | manual `terminate` | interactive SSH box |
+| Vast.ai | per-minute spot | only while rented | manual destroy | cheapest, more fiddly |
+| Lambda / AWS-GCP spot | per-hour/second | until you stop it | manual stop | if you already have credits |
+
+**Recommend Modal.** You define the run as a function with a `gpu=` decorator; on call it
+provisions the GPU, runs, and releases it — **there is no GPU to forget to kill**, and you pay only
+for the seconds it ran. That *is* the "kill the GPU to save money" requirement, automated.
+
+## The lifecycle (Modal)
+
+1. **Define image** once: CUDA base + `boltz` (or DiffDock) + `rdkit`, `meeko`, `spyrmsd`, `gemmi`.
+2. **Weights volume**: `modal.Volume` mounted at `/weights`; the model downloads into it on first
+   run and is cached forever after (no re-download cost).
+3. **Run**: `modal run gpu/modal_app.py` → provisions GPU → runs the test → returns results to your
+   laptop. GPU released the moment the function returns.
+4. **Persist results**: write the returned scores/poses into `data/processed/binding/` and
+   `git commit` (small, text).
+5. **Teardown**: nothing to do — Modal scaled to zero. `modal app stop` only if a run is hung.
+
+RunPod alternative (if you want an interactive box): start pod → `git clone` → run → `git push`
+results → **`runpodctl remove pod <id>`** (or Stop in the UI). Set an **idle auto-terminate** so a
+forgotten box can't bleed money.
+
+## What runs on the GPU (in cost order — cheap validation first)
+
+- **Phase 1 — modality validation (~minutes, ~$1):** co-fold each known binder + 2 negative
+  controls (caffeine, hydroxyurea) into each target (Hb, PKR, HDAC2) **with the binding-mode
+  cofactors co-folded in** — HDAC2 + catalytic **Zn**, PKR + **FBP/Mg**, Hb + **heme** (as CCD
+  ligand entries) — and check the **known binder has the highest Boltz-2 P(binder)** for its own
+  target. This is the discrimination Vina couldn't manage precisely because it can't model
+  Zn-chelation / cofactors. (Ranking uses P(binder), not the raw affinity value, whose
+  sign is version-dependent.) Pose-RMSD vs crystal is a deeper check but needs receptor
+  superposition (align predicted protein to crystal, transform ligand) — a later refinement. If
+  Phase 1 passes, the modality is real; if not, stop before paying for a screen.
+- **Phase 2 — screen (~tens of minutes, a few $):** run the ~300-drug set (or a focused subset)
+  against the sickle targets; rank by Boltz-2 predicted affinity; redo the §12.4 positive-control
+  recovery test. Output a ranked CSV, same shape as the connectivity `ranked_candidates`.
+
+## Model choice
+
+- **Boltz-2** (MIT, pip-installable) — predicts the protein–ligand complex **and** a binding
+  affinity → directly gives a rankable score. Primary choice. Fits a 24–40 GB GPU for these
+  single-domain targets.
+- **DiffDock-L** — lighter, pose-only (needs a separate scorer); fallback if Boltz memory is tight.
+- GPU: an **L4 (24 GB, ~$0.6–0.8/hr)** or **A10/L40S (24–48 GB)** is plenty; no multi-GPU, no A100
+  needed for these sizes.
+
+## Cost controls (the save-money checklist)
+
+- Serverless (Modal) → **zero idle cost** by construction; or an **idle-timeout** auto-kill on a box.
+- **Cache weights** in a persistent volume — re-downloading 5 GB on a $1/hr GPU is wasted money.
+- **Validate on one target before screening** — don't pay for a 300-drug screen until Phase 1 passes.
+- Prefer **spot/interruptible** for the batch screen (Phase 2 is restartable).
+- Keep prep (Meeko/RDKit) and result-scoring on the **laptop**; only the model forward pass needs GPU.
+- Estimated total to validate + a first screen: **~$5–15**, not a standing bill.
+
+## Repo integration
+
+- `gpu/modal_app.py` — the Modal app (skeleton committed alongside this plan).
+- Results land in `data/processed/binding/` (gitignored) + a small committed summary.
+- Pin model + weights version in the image for reproducibility.
+
+## Next step
+
+Scaffold `gpu/modal_app.py` for Phase-1 validation (3 known binders), do a dry run locally
+(`modal run --detach`? no — just `modal run`), confirm cost, then Phase 2. Requires a Modal account
++ `pip install modal` + `modal token new` (one-time auth).

+**Honest reading.** The **pre-registered test FAILED (v1).** The post-hoc v1.1 changes
+**recover hydroxyurea** (rank 40 → 18, passing top-10%) — strong evidence that the v1 failure was
+driven by the 978-landmark bottleneck, not the algorithm. But two failures survive into v1.1, and
+both are now precisely diagnosed:
 
-| Rank | Drug | Score | Known mechanism | Biological plausibility |
+1. **L-glutamine does not reverse the signature** (positive connectivity, spec_z=+0.98). This is
+   intrinsic to its LINCS data — a metabolite with no reversal signal — not a coverage gap. More
+   genes cannot fix it.
+2. **The negative-control criterion is arguably invalid for connectivity scoring.** Two
+   "negative controls" (norethindrone, ciprofloxacin) rank in the top 3 by spec_z. Connectivity
+   measures *expression reversal*, not *therapeutic relatedness* — an antibiotic or contraceptive
+   can still down-regulate the inflammation genes that dominate the scorable signature. The test
+   design conflates the two.
+
+A note on the calibration: textbook CMap **tau** (percentile vs a reference population) was
+implemented but **saturated at ±100** here, because a coherent real query always out-connects
+random gene sets — proper tau needs a library of *real* reference signatures, which this MVP
+lacks. The continuous `spec_z` is the workable substitute.
+

+real, generalizable lesson — for a signature whose *scorable* portion is generic
+inflammation/metabolic genes, connectivity rewards any broad transcriptional perturbation that

+discriminate true repurposing candidates from incidental expression reversers.** Of the
+plausibly-real hits, **resveratrol (rank 4)** — an antioxidant with prior sickle cell literature
+— is the most defensible, but it is a hypothesis, not a discovery.
 
 ## Section 5 — Honest limitations
 
-- Cell-composition confound in whole-blood expression (PLAN.md §9.1)
+1. **Pre-registered test failed; the pass is post-hoc.** v1.1's hydroxyurea recovery is
-- LINCS L1000 cell-line limitations — landmark genes measured mostly in cancer lines (§9.2)
+   exploratory and must be re-validated on a held-out disease before any claim is made.
-- Missing signatures (e.g. L-glutamine) (§9.3)
+2. **Missing HbF axis** — HBG1/HBG2 are absent from LINCS entirely (not just landmarks), so the
-- No mechanistic validation layer — discovery hypothesis generation, not validated prediction (§9.6)
+   pathway hydroxyurea acts on can never be scored by this method.
+3. **Signature specificity** — scorable genes are inflammation/metabolic; negative controls
+   reverse them too. Connectivity ≠ therapeutic relatedness.
+4. **Cell-composition confound** — the whole-blood signature is reticulocyte-dominated.
+5. **LINCS cancer-cell-line bias**, and **no reference-signature library** for proper tau.
+6. **No mechanistic validation** — all hits are computational hypotheses.
 
 ## Section 6 — What v2 would fix
 
-- Cell-type deconvolution of the disease signature
+- **A reference-signature library** to make tau (proper specificity calibration) work — the
-- Knowledge graph fallback for missing-signature drugs
+  single biggest fix to the negative-control problem, and a direct use of the curated-data moat.
-- A second disease to test generalization (the real test — sickle cell results do not prove
+- **Cell-type deconvolution** + a non-globin-depleted RNA-seq study to recover a more specific,
-  the platform generalizes, §9.5)
+  HbF-containing signature.
+- **Signature prediction / mechanism graph** to score genes with no LINCS measurement.
+- **A second disease** to test generalization and to honestly re-validate the v1.1 method
+  (PLAN §9.5).
+
+---
+
+### Bottom line
+
+The pre-registered recovery test **failed**. Post-hoc diagnosis shows the dominant cause was a
+fixable gene-space bottleneck — correcting it **recovers hydroxyurea** — but also surfaces a
+deeper, genuine limitation: this whole-blood signature is **not specific enough** for
+connectivity scoring to separate real candidates from incidental reversers (negative controls
+rank at the top). The MVP's real deliverable is a precise, honest map of *what it takes to make
+this method work*: a more specific (deconvolved, HbF-containing) signature and a reference library
+for calibration — exactly the curated-data investments the platform thesis is built on.

+# Structure-based binding track — working notes
+
+Branch `structure-based-binding`. Implements PLAN §12. Baseline-first, start with the two cleanest
+targets (Hemoglobin + PKR), de-risk the harness before scaling.
+
+## Status (2026-06-23)
+
+**Toolchain check (PLAN §12.6 pitfall 4, confirmed real):**
+- ✅ RDKit installs on ARM Mac — ligand side ready.
+- ❌ AutoDock Vina does NOT pip-install on ARM Mac; no docking binary available. Docking (§12.3)
+  is **blocked on toolchain** — must resolve via conda/micromamba (`vina`/`smina`), a GPU AF3-class
+  model (Boltz-2/Chai-1/DiffDock), or an x86 Vina binary under Rosetta.
+
+**Structures obtained:** `5E83` (hemoglobin + voxelotor), `8XFD` (PKR + mitapivat) in
+`data/raw/structures/`.
+
+**Step 0 — ligand-based retrieval baseline (`scripts/binding_ligand_baseline.py`):**
+RDKit Tanimoto of our 300 drugs vs known sickle binders.
+- Engine VALIDATED on in-set classes: `decitabine`→azacitidine (0.62); `vorinostat`→scriptaid
+  (0.42), belinostat (0.28). Correctly clusters DNMT1 / HDAC HbF-inducers.
+- But voxelotor / mitapivat have **no analog** in our set (max Tanimoto ~0.20–0.26). A 300-drug
+  library is too sparse to contain look-alikes of distinctive scaffolds.
+
+**Takeaways:**
+1. Ligand retrieval works but needs a **bigger drug library** to be useful for distinctive targets.
+2. The targets without in-set analogs (Hb, PKR) need **actual docking** (§12.3) — which scores
+   binding directly, no look-alike required. That is the gating next step, and it needs the
+   toolchain solved.
+
+## Step 1 — docking baseline (2026-06-24)
+
+**Toolchain SOLVED on ARM Mac:** AutoDock Vina 1.2.5 mac binary (`tools/vina`, runs under Rosetta)
++ open-babel (brew) for prep. Docking runs end-to-end (`scripts/dock_positive_controls.py`).
+Co-crystal ligands identified: 5L7 = voxelotor (5E83), WV2 = mitapivat (8XFD).
+
+**Positive-control cross-docking — inconclusive, and instructively so.** Affinities (kcal/mol):
+
+| ligand | hemoglobin | PKR |
+|---|---|---|
+| voxelotor | −8.1 | −9.3 |
+| mitapivat | −10.0 | −11.2 |
+| decitabine | −6.6 | −7.0 |
+| hydroxyurea | −3.9 | −3.6 |
+| caffeine | −6.1 | −6.4 |
+
+The scores rank almost perfectly by **molecular size** (mitapivat > voxelotor > decitabine/caffeine
+> hydroxyurea) in *both* pockets — mitapivat wins even on hemoglobin, which it doesn't target. So
+raw Vina affinity is confounded by ligand size and per-pocket stickiness; it cannot yet
+distinguish target-specific binding. This is the **docking analog of the connectivity specificity
+problem** — raw scores carry a systematic bias (size here, broadness there) that masquerades as
+signal. voxelotor *does* dock to Hb (−8.1, a real score); the cross-target test just isn't the
+right validation.
+
+## Step 2 — redocking-RMSD validation FAILS across the board (2026-06-24)
+
+Redocked each co-crystal ligand into its own structure (`scripts/dock_validate.py`); RMSD vs
+crystal pose via obrms:
+
+| redock | RMSD | note |
+|---|---|---|
+| voxelotor → Hb (5E83) | NA | covalent binder (Schiff base, αVal1) — out of scope §12.7 |
+| mitapivat → PKR (8XFD) | 8.2 Å | allosteric, cofactor (FBP/Mg) stripped |
+| **vorinostat → HDAC2 (4LXZ, Zn kept)** | **7.9 Å** | classical non-covalent target — should have worked |
+
+**The clean target also failing means this is a systematic PIPELINE-QUALITY problem, not target
+choice.** The cheap Vina + open-babel setup produces scores but does not reproduce known binding
+geometry, so its affinities are not yet trustworthy. Ligand efficiency (affinity / heavy atoms)
+also doesn't fix it — it over-corrects, ranking tiny hydroxyurea (−0.78) "best".
+
+Likely causes (in priority order):
+1. **Low-quality receptor prep** — open-babel `-xr` is not production docking prep. Need
+   AutoDockTools `prepare_receptor` or **Meeko** + `reduce`/pdb2pqr for protonation, charges, and
+   proper AutoDock atom typing.
+2. **Ligand prep** — should use Meeko (correct rotatable bonds / typing), not bare obabel `--gen3d`.
+3. **RMSD metric** — obrms superimposes before RMSD; redocking validation wants symmetry-corrected
+   RMSD **in place** (receptor frame). Worth confirming with an in-place metric.
+
+**Honest takeaway:** consistent with the whole project — the *quick* version of each method runs
+but doesn't survive honest validation. Credible structure-based docking needs production prep
+tooling (Meeko/ADFR), which is the real next investment for this track.
+
+## Step 3 — production prep helps, but classical docking is the wrong tool here (2026-06-24)
+
+`scripts/dock_production.py`: Meeko ligand prep (proper rotatable-bond/AD typing) + in-place
+symmetry-corrected RMSD (spyrmsd, not obrms which superimposes). On the clean HDAC2/vorinostat
+target (Zn kept):
+
+- **7.9 Å → 4.76 Å** with proper ligand prep + correct metric. Prep and metric genuinely mattered.
+- But still FAIL (>2 Å). The residual is the deeper problem: **vorinostat binding is defined by its
+  hydroxamate chelating the catalytic Zn, and Vina has no metal-coordination term** — it cannot
+  score the interaction that determines the pose.
+
+**The real finding: sickle's druggable targets bind via non-classical chemistry that classical
+docking handles poorly** — Hb/voxelotor (covalent), PKR/mitapivat (allosteric + cofactor),
+HDAC/vorinostat (Zn chelation). This is the target landscape, not bad luck. AutoDock Vina is the
+wrong tool for it.
+
+**Redirect:** the modality that DOES handle covalent/metal/induced-fit binding is **data-driven
+AF3-class co-folding** (Boltz-2 / Chai-1 / DiffDock — they learn these modes from the PDB). That is
+the indicated next tool for this disease — and it's gated by the **24 GB local memory ceiling**
+(PLAN §12.6 pitfall 4): needs a cloud GPU or a bigger box. The "GPU breaks all-local" prediction is
+now the binding constraint of the whole track.
+
+## Step 4 — AF3-class co-folding (Boltz-2 on Modal GPU) WORKS on the Zn case (2026-06-24)
+
+Ran Phase 1 on Modal (L4, serverless) — `gpu/modal_app.py`, ~$0.60–0.80. Co-folded each known
+binder + 2 negatives into each target WITH the binding-mode cofactors (HDAC2+Zn, PKR+FBP/Mg,
+Hb+heme). Ranked by Boltz-2 P(binder):
+
+| target | known binder P(binder) | negatives | verdict |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **HDAC2 (+Zn)** | vorinostat **0.9994** | caffeine 0.12, hydroxyurea 0.77 | **PASS — decisive** |
+| hemoglobin (+heme) | voxelotor 0.46 | caffeine 0.34, hydroxyurea 0.07 | PASS (weak) |
+| PKR (+FBP/Mg) | mitapivat 0.32 | hydroxyurea 0.40 (beat it) | FAIL |
+
+**Headline: HDAC2 + zinc — the exact case Vina failed (7.9 Å redock, no metal term) — co-folding
+NAILS** (vorinostat 0.999 vs negatives ~0.1). The data-driven model handles the Zn-chelation
+chemistry classical docking could not. The modality pivot is validated on its decisive test.
+The first clear positive result in the project after a long string of honest negatives.
+
+Notes: (1) affinity sign confirmed — vorinostat has the lowest affinity_pred_value (−1.78,
+strongest) AND highest P(binder); ranking by max(affinity) would be backwards (the P(binder) fix
+was necessary). (2) 2/3: Hb weak (covalent/tetramer, as predicted), PKR miss (allosteric pocket).
+(3) Engineering: had to add cuequivariance kernels to the image; serialize (max_containers=1) so
+the weights download once (parallel containers corrupted the checkpoint).
+
+## Step 5 — pose-RMSD confirmation: co-folding reproduces the geometry (2026-06-24)
+
+`scripts/pose_rmsd.py`: superpose predicted HDAC2 onto crystal 4LXZ (Ca), transform the predicted
+vorinostat + Zn, compare poses (spyrmsd, in-place).
+
+| metric | co-folding | classical Vina |
+|---|---|---|
+| protein fold, Ca RMSD over 366 res | **0.14 A** | — |
+| **vorinostat pose RMSD** | **0.21 A** PASS | 7.9 A FAIL |
+| catalytic Zn placement | 2.73 A (minor) | no metal term |
+
+Co-folding reproduces the fold AND the vorinostat binding pose to **0.21 A (crystal-accurate)** on
+the exact Zn-chelation case Vina was off by 7.9 A. HDAC2 is now validated on BOTH axes: affinity
+(P(binder)=0.999) and geometry (0.21 A). Minor blemish: the Zn ion itself lands ~2.7 A off (ligand
+perfect, metal slightly less). The structure-binding modality is comprehensively validated on its
+decisive metal-coordination case.
+
+## Step 6 — Phase 2 screen pilot (HDAC2): recovers the inhibitor class decisively (2026-06-24)
+
+`modal run gpu/modal_app.py::screen --limit 24` — co-fold 24 drugs vs HDAC2 (+Zn), parallel
+(~10-wide, cached weights), ranked by P(binder). ~$1.3.
+
+**Top 9 = all HDAC inhibitors** (trichostatin-A, vorinostat, panobinostat, belinostat, scriptaid,
+mocetinostat, entinostat, apicidin all P≥0.99; valproic-acid 0.91), then a clean drop to
+hydroxyurea 0.78 and non-HDAC drugs sinking to dexamethasone 0.03. The model captures the
+**structure-activity gradient**: potent Zn-chelating hydroxamates ~0.99 vs weak fatty-acid
+valproate 0.91 vs DNMT inhibitors / IMiDs / steroid near 0. The screen recovers the right
+pharmacological class at scale.
+
+**Honest false negative:** romidepsin (potent HDAC inhibitor) ranked low (0.43) — it is a cyclic
+depsipeptide PRODRUG (must be reduced to expose its Zn-binding thiol), which co-folding doesn't
+model. The screen mishandles non-standard chemotypes (prodrugs, macrocycles).
+
+The screening pipeline is validated. Next: run the full set (incl. the 240 random + negatives) to
+hunt for NON-obvious HDAC2 binders (the actual discovery run), ~$15-20.
+
+## Next steps
+- [ ] Full screen (300 drugs) vs HDAC2 — discovery run for non-obvious binders.
+- [ ] Investigate PKR: allosteric site may need the full assembly / better pocket definition.
+- [ ] Phase 2 screen: rank the ~300-drug set against HDAC2 (the validated target) by P(binder);
+  positive-control recovery test at screen scale.
+- [ ] Add a one-time weight-warmup function so post-cache runs go back to fast parallel safely.
+- [ ] (optional) Salvage one classical Vina case: PKR with FBP/Mg cofactors RETAINED, to confirm
+  the harness can validate on a non-metal sickle target.
+- [ ] Production receptor prep (Meeko mk_prepare_receptor + protonation) if staying with Vina.
+- [ ] §12.9 generative beacon — only after a validated scoring function exists.
+

+> which caps local AF3-class model inference. Classical docking (above) is unaffected.
