Work Log

2026-04-17 — Reopened task: integration of diversity_score into gap pipeline & UI

Prior work: compute_diversity_score() and update_all_diversity_scores() already exist in gap_pipeline.py (committed under other task IDs). The knowledge_gaps.diversity_score column
is populated and the CLI flag --compute-diversity works.

Changes made (this attempt):

gap_pipeline.py — should_reopen_gap(): Added low-diversity criterion.

Gaps with diversity_score <= 1 that already have analyses are flagged for re-opening
so agents can explore alternative mechanistic angles.

api.py — gap detail page (/gap/{gap_id}): Added "Mechanistic Families" metric

card to the Living Dashboards grid, showing the diversity_score value.

Both changes tested and verified.
