⚠️ HISTORICAL DOCUMENT - November 2025 Cleanup

This document describes the Phase 1 verification from 2025-10-31 and Phase 2 blocker discovery.

For current pipeline documentation, see: data/test/shehata/README.md

Both Phase 1 and Phase 2 are now complete. The P0 blocker mentioned below has been resolved.

Shehata Dataset Conversion - Verification Report (HISTORICAL)¶

Date: 2025-10-31 (Phase 1) | 2025-11-02 (Phase 2 issue discovered) Issue: #3 - Shehata dataset preprocessing Phase 1 Status: ✅ COMPLETE AND VERIFIED (Excel → CSV) Phase 2 Status: ✅ COMPLETE (P0 BLOCKER RESOLVED) (CSV → Fragments)

⚠️ HISTORICAL NOTE (2025-11-02): Phase 2 Issue (NOW RESOLVED)¶

This report covers Phase 1 (Excel → CSV) verification.

Phase 2 had a P0 blocker that has since been resolved: - Gap characters were re-introduced in VH/VL/Full fragment files - 13 VH, 4 VL, 17 Full sequences were affected - See docs/datasets/shehata/archive/shehata_blocker_analysis.md for historical details - Resolution: All fragments are now gap-free (validated 2025-11-06)

Both phases are now complete - base shehata.csv and all fragments are gap-free.

Executive Summary (Phase 1 ONLY)¶

✅ All Phase 1 bugs fixed and verified ✅ Base CSV conversion completed successfully ✅ Output format compatible with existing pipeline ✅ Paper specifications matched (7/398 non-specific antibodies)

Bugs Fixed (Rob C. Martin Clean Code Principles)¶

1. ✅ CRITICAL: Gap Character Sanitization¶

Problem: - 13 VH + 11 VL sequences contained gap characters (-) from IMGT numbering - Original code validated but never sanitized sequences - Gaps passed through to CSV → model replaced entire sequences with "M" → junk embeddings

Fix:

def sanitize_sequence(seq: str) -> str:
    """Remove IMGT gap artifacts before embedding."""
    if pd.isna(seq):
        return seq
    seq = str(seq).replace('-', '')  # Remove gaps
    seq = seq.strip().upper()        # Normalize
    return seq

Verification: - ✅ Removed exactly 23 VH + 14 VL gap characters (37 total) - ✅ 0 invalid sequences after sanitization - ✅ Validation shows expected "mismatches" (raw Excel with gaps vs sanitized CSV)

2. ✅ HIGH: NaN Comparison Bug in Validation¶

Problem: - NaN != NaN evaluates to True in Python - 2 sequences with missing data reported as false positive mismatches

Fix:

# Proper NaN comparison
both_nan = pd.isna(seq1) and pd.isna(seq2)
both_equal = seq1 == seq2 if not (pd.isna(seq1) or pd.isna(seq2)) else False
if not (both_nan or both_equal):
    mismatches += 1

Verification: - ✅ No false positive NaN mismatches in validation output - ✅ 2 missing sequences handled correctly

3. ✅ MEDIUM: Missing Non-Interactive Mode¶

Problem: - Script required user input, couldn't run in CI/CD

Fix:

def convert_excel_to_csv(..., interactive: bool = True):
    if interactive:
        response = input(...)  # Prompt user
    else:
        psr_threshold = suggested_threshold  # Auto-select

Verification: - ✅ Successfully ran in non-interactive mode - ✅ Auto-selected 98.24^th percentile threshold (0.31)

4. ✅ LOW: Removed Unused Import¶

Fix: Removed import numpy as np (never used)

5. ✅ LOW: Fixed Docstring Accuracy¶

Fix: Removed false claim about xlrd engine (not actually used)
