[Atlas] Add pathway diagrams to 20 hypotheses missing mechanism maps done analysis:6 reasoning:6

← Open Questions as Ranked Artifacts
170 active hypotheses lack substantive pathway_diagram values. Mechanism maps make hypotheses inspectable and connect Agora claims to Atlas pathways. ## Acceptance criteria (recommended — see 'Broader latitude' below) - 20 active hypotheses gain pathway_diagram content grounded in KG edges or cited mechanisms - Diagrams render as Mermaid or the existing pathway format without syntax errors - Remaining active hypotheses missing pathway diagrams is <= 150 ## Before starting 1. Read this task's spec file and check for duplicate recent work. 2. Evaluate whether the gap and acceptance criteria target the right problem. If you see a better framing, document it before executing. 3. Check adjacent SciDEX layers for cross-links or structural follow-up opportunities. ## Broader latitude You are invited to question the framing, propose structural or algorithmic improvements, and strengthen artifacts beyond the minimum where the evidence supports it. Document any such contribution in the work log and commit messages. ## Suggested approach 1. Select hypotheses with target_gene, target_pathway, or evidence-rich descriptions and empty pathway_diagram. 2. Build compact mechanism diagrams from existing KG edges, citations, and hypothesis text. 3. Validate diagram syntax and verify hypothesis detail pages still render.

[Verify] Pathway diagram coverage complete — 25/25 active hypotheses have diagrams [task:1516eda4-d0d5-477a-aeaf-fedfab773695] (#907)2026-04-27
Spec File

Goal

Backfill pathway_diagram values for active hypotheses that lack them. Mechanism maps make
hypotheses inspectable and connect Agora claims to Atlas pathways. 177 active hypotheses
lacked substantive pathway_diagram values at start of quest.

Acceptance Criteria

☑ 20 active hypotheses gain pathway_diagram content grounded in KG edges or cited mechanisms
☑ Diagrams render as Mermaid or the existing pathway format without syntax errors
☑ Remaining active hypotheses missing pathway diagrams is <= 157

Approach

  • Select hypotheses with target gene, target pathway, or evidence-rich descriptions and empty pathway diagrams.
  • Build compact mechanism diagrams from existing KG edges, citations, and hypothesis text.
  • Validate diagram syntax and update the hypothesis rows.
  • Verify hypothesis detail pages still render.
  • Dependencies

    • 58230ac8-c32 - Atlas quest

    Dependents

    • Hypothesis inspection, Atlas entity context, and pathway-aware debates

    Work Log

    Iteration 10 - 2026-04-28 - Task 3175e86c backfill: 21 hypotheses, missing 143->122

    • Staleness check: Current DB has 143 proposed/open/active hypotheses with missing or short pathway_diagram values (103 active, 14 open, 26 proposed). Earlier work log entries reported zero real missing rows, but the current runtime DB still contains real open/active rows without diagrams, so this task remains live.
    • Scope for this iteration: Backfilled the top 21 non-test missing rows by composite_score, avoiding test% placeholders and rows with empty hypothesis content.
    • Work performed: Created backfill/backfill_pathway_diagrams_3175e86c_iter1.py with explicit Mermaid diagrams keyed by hypothesis id. Diagrams encode the named target genes/pathways from each hypothesis title/description/evidence, then update hypotheses.pathway_diagram plus last_mutated_at.
    • Hypotheses updated: h-alsmnd-870c6115d68c (EIF2S1/eIF2alpha ISR), h-alsmnd-9d62ae58bdc1 (RBM45 LLPS), h-alsmnd-c5d2e9c2edeb (SFPQ/paralog APA), h-alsmnd-9d07702213f0 (ATM/CHEK2/TP53 DDR), h-alsmnd-006d646506ab (HNRNPA2B1/STAU2 axonal RNA transport), h-alsmnd-e448328ae294 (GLE1 mRNA export), h-alsmnd-01446b71d93f (MATR3 nuclear bodies), h-alsmnd-54f981ca6a25 (TIA1 stress granules), hyp-lyso-snca-1d58cf205e1f (LAMP2A CMA LLPS), h-9923279def (PINK1/PRKN/TREM2 mitophagy), hyp-lyso-snca-3429d8065d63 (SNCA exosomal lysosomal proteome), h-3f9740bfa5 (SNCA/MAPT synaptic vesicle propagation), hyp-lyso-snca-3a610efd001e (TFEB/TFE3 lysosomal stress response), hyp-lyso-snca-c9e088045c26 (GBA1/Miro1 mitophagy blockade), hyp-lyso-snca-3f4d11c5e9e4 (GBA1/cathepsin modifier interaction), hyp-lyso-snca-548064db6357 (SNCA/LAMP2A/TorsinA CMA blockade), ec8b839c-6440-45dc-aff6-5edea1fd2d6d (TDP43/STMN2 cryptic exon), h-2fe683915d (GBA1/LAMP2A lysosomal acidification), h-92cfd75109 (NRF2 proteostatic convergence), hyp-lyso-snca-3577291fea07 (GBA1/SNX5 retromer feedback), hyp-lyso-snca-cf55ff77a38a (VPS35/GCase trafficking).
    • Validation: Script pre-validated 21 diagrams and post-validated 21 stored DB diagrams with validate_mermaid(); separate DB verification found post_validate_failures [].
    • Result: Missing pathway_diagram count for status IN ('proposed','open','active') moved 143 -> 122, meeting the <=123 target for this task slice.
    • Cross-layer note: The batch mostly covers ALS RNA/proteostasis mechanisms and lysosomal SNCA/GBA1 axes, strengthening Atlas mechanism inspectability for Agora/Exchange hypotheses without touching critical runtime files.

    Iteration 2 - 2026-04-27 - Task c15f66ad backfill: 25 hypotheses, missing 112→87

    • Staleness check: 112 hypotheses in status IN ('proposed','open','active') missing pathway_diagram (threshold < 20 chars). Confirmed task still live.

    Iteration 4 - 2026-04-27 - Slot minimax:76 - Task 9fc63687 backfill: 1 hypothesis, active 1→0

    • Staleness check: Verified task still live. Active hypotheses missing pathway_diagram: 1 (h-aging-h7-prs-aging-convergence). The test-pitch-1a6a8ca6 row has NULL id field (corrupt/malformed) and cannot be updated — it is not a real hypothesis.
    • Work performed: Inspected h-aging-h7-prs-aging-convergence — title "AD Polygenic Risk Score predicts transcriptomic aging acceleration in a dose-dependent manner". No KG edges found directly. Built mechanism diagram from evidence_for array: AD PRS → GWAS hit enrichment (OR=6.5) → 8 concordant AD aging genes (TREM2, TYROBP, APOE, CLU, C4B, PICALM, BIN1) → microglial/immune upregulation → CARS transcriptomic aging acceleration → earlier AD onset. Used same flowchart TD format as sibling hypotheses.
