Abstract
We present an offline, self-verifying target-cartography workflow for prioritizing solid-tumor cell-therapy single-antigen leads from compact frozen snapshots of tumor RNA, normal-tissue RNA and protein, and adult healthy single-cell atlases. Canonical v1 ranks safety-filtered single-antigen targets only. Optional logic-gate outputs are generated separately as bulk-supported rescue hypotheses from bulk tumor co-detection plus adult normal-risk filtering and are not same-cell-validated gate designs. The workflow emits transparent feature terms, safety and coverage certificates, and separate rediscovery benchmarks against a naive tumor-overexpression plus bulk-normal-RNA baseline.
Summary
We present an offline, self-verifying target-cartography workflow for prioritizing solid-tumor cell-therapy single-antigen leads from compact frozen snapshots of TCGA-style tumor RNA, Human Protein Atlas-style normal RNA and protein, and adult-only healthy single-cell reference data. Canonical v1 ranks safety-filtered single-antigen targets only. Optional logic-gate outputs are produced separately as bulk-supported rescue hypotheses from tumor bulk co-detection plus adult normal-risk filtering and are not same-cell-validated gate designs.
The frozen canonical ovarian run identifies MSLN as the only qualifying top lead, with both canonical certificates and the verifier passing. In the separate rediscovery benchmark, the full model beats the tumor-overexpression plus bulk-normal-RNA baseline on the pre-registered success rule, improving AUPRC from 0.866667 to 1.0, EF@5% from 10.0 to 15.0, and negative-control suppression from 0.25 to 0.5. In the optional logic-gate casebook, the benchmark recovers 2/2 expected rescue pairs within the top-10 hypothesis list.
This release is intentionally compact. The vendored assets exercise the repository contract and verification discipline rather than reprocessing full public atlas dumps. The main claim is therefore methodological and evidence-level specific: the workflow promotes compact single-antigen leads only after explicit adult normal-risk filtering and tumor coverage checks, while keeping logic-gate suggestions in a lower-evidence exploratory lane until tumor single-cell same-cell support is available.

It does not run the optional rediscovery benchmark, optional logic-gate hypothesis benchmark, paper builders, or release helpers. ## Runtime Expectations - Platform: CPU-only - Python: 3.12.x - Package manager: `uv` - Offline execution: no network access required after clone time - Canonical input: `inputs/canonical_tumor_type.txt` ## Step 1: Confirm Canonical Input ```bash test -f inputs/canonical_tumor_type.txt shasum -a 256 inputs/canonical_tumor_type.txt ``` Expected SHA256: ```text 103d49f5a3df9387156dcdef7bd1e6f2756bafee0303528550c2e093079b5450 ``` ## Step 2: Install the Locked Environment ```bash uv sync --frozen ``` Success condition: - `uv` completes without changing `uv.lock` ## Step 3: Run the Canonical Pipeline ```bash uv run --frozen --no-sync cell-therapy-target-cartographer run --config config/canonical_targeting.yaml --input inputs/canonical_tumor_type.txt --out outputs/canonical ``` Success condition: - `outputs/canonical/manifest.json` exists - all required canonical JSON and CSV artifacts are present ## Step 4: Verify the Run ```bash uv run --frozen --no-sync cell-therapy-target-cartographer verify --run-dir outputs/canonical ``` Success condition: - exit code is `0` - `outputs/canonical/verification.json` exists - verification status is `passed` ## Step 5: Confirm Required Artifacts Required files: - `outputs/canonical/manifest.json` - `outputs/canonical/normalization_audit.json` - `outputs/canonical/single_target_scores.csv` - `outputs/canonical/top_single_targets.csv` - `outputs/canonical/off_tumor_safety_certificate.json` - `outputs/canonical/tumor_coverage_patchiness_certificate.json` - `outputs/canonical/verification.json` ## Step 6: Canonical Success Criteria The canonical path is successful only if: - all vendored scored-path assets match the configured SHA256 hashes - the run command finishes successfully - the verify command exits `0` - all required canonical artifacts are present and nonempty - the top ranked safety-filtered target identities match the frozen expectations - the certificate verdicts match the frozen expectations Optional logic-gate outputs are intentionally outside the scored path in v1. When generated, they are bulk-supported rescue hypotheses only and do not certify same-cell malignant co-expression.
