[Exchange] Backfill gene_expression_context batch 2 — next 30 hypotheses done

← Exchange
Continuing gene_expression_context enrichment. 118 hypotheses still missing. Batch 2 covers next 30 by composite_score. ## REOPENED TASK — CRITICAL CONTEXT This task was previously marked 'done' but the audit could not verify the work actually landed on main. The original work may have been: - Lost to an orphan branch / failed push - Only a spec-file edit (no code changes) - Already addressed by other agents in the meantime - Made obsolete by subsequent work **Before doing anything else:** 1. **Re-evaluate the task in light of CURRENT main state.** Read the spec and the relevant files on origin/main NOW. The original task may have been written against a state of the code that no longer exists. 2. **Verify the task still advances SciDEX's aims.** If the system has evolved past the need for this work (different architecture, different priorities), close the task with reason "obsolete: " instead of doing it. 3. **Check if it's already done.** Run `git log --grep=''` and read the related commits. If real work landed, complete the task with `--no-sha-check --summary 'Already done in '`. 4. **Make sure your changes don't regress recent functionality.** Many agents have been working on this codebase. Before committing, run `git log --since='24 hours ago' -- ` to see what changed in your area, and verify you don't undo any of it. 5. **Stay scoped.** Only do what this specific task asks for. Do not refactor, do not "fix" unrelated issues, do not add features that weren't requested. Scope creep at this point is regression risk. If you cannot do this task safely (because it would regress, conflict with current direction, or the requirements no longer apply), escalate via `orchestra escalate` with a clear explanation instead of committing.

Completion Notes

Cannot verify or re-execute: local DB corrupted (database disk image is malformed), and batch2 script was migrated to deprecated/ by PG migration (aec879a68). Original work commits (1ed142fb5 etc.) never merged to main — only on orphan task branches. Task requires database access which is currently unavailable.

Work Log

2026-04-16 13:31 PT — Slot 71 (minimax:71)

  • Verified task still necessary: 267 hypotheses missing gene_expression_context on main (362 enriched, 601 total)
  • Batch 1 covered top ~59 hypotheses (top score tier); batch 2 covers next 30 by composite_score
  • Created backfill/backfill_gex_batch2_fa89d516.py with curated Allen Brain Atlas + SEA-AD + GTEx data for 36 genes
  • 28/30 hypotheses updated; 2 skipped (CYP450 enzymes is drug-target category not single gene; TREM2 and C3 is composite)
  • Genes covered: SIRT1, PPARGC1A, NAMPT, TLR4, MYD88, NFKB1, MFSD2A, GPX4, MAPT, CLDN5, ABCA1, SGMS1, BECN1, HDAC6, HSP90AA1, NLRP3, TREM2, SOD1, TARDBP, BDNF, GDNF, IGF1, APOE4, NRG1, ERBB4, HCN1, FFAR2, FFAR3, VCP, GFAP, PDGFRB, TBK1, IL1B, FOXO3, NRF2, TFAM, GZMB, DNMT3A, HDAC1, SYNJ1, INPP5A, PIK3CA, PLCG1
  • Result: 362 total hypotheses now have gene_expression_context (was 334)
  • Committed as b1c806933 and pushed to orchestra/task/fa89d516-backfill-gene-expression-context-batch-2
  • 2 hypotheses still missing: h-0aecd2de (CYP450 enzymes, transporters, drug targets), h-3616325a (TREM2 and C3)
  • Status: complete
