[Cross-cutting] Model artifacts WS2 — code linkage subtree + CI provenance check
Task
- ID: task-id-pending
- Type: one-shot (subtree layout + CI check + backfill for 8 existing
internal models)
- Frequency: one-shot; the CI check it installs runs on every PR
afterward
- Layer: Cross-cutting (adds a directory convention + a CI workflow)
Goal
Make every internal model artifact trivially reproducible by giving it a
known location in the repo that contains the training driver, the eval
driver, and the parameter manifest — and wire a CI check that enforces the
link. External models get a validated
origin_url instead. The quest
evaluated three layouts (sibling repo, artifact-registry-native, per-model
subtree in main repo); this task implements per-model subtree because it
round-trips through the existing bwrap sandbox and CI without new infra.
What it does
- Creates directory
artifacts/models/{model_id}/ for each of the 8
existing internal model artifacts, each containing:
-
train.py — training entrypoint (best-effort reconstruction from the
existing metadata for the 8 legacy models; the ODE models have it
already under
biophysical_model_template.py and will simply get a
thin wrapper)
-
eval.py — evaluation driver that consumes the saved weights / params
and the declared
evaluation_dataset -
params.json — hyperparameters + pointers to data artifacts
-
README.md — ≥40 lines describing the model, training data, eval
protocol, known limits
- Updates
model_versions rows (from WS1) for each with
code_repo_url=https://github.com/SciDEX-AI/SciDEX,
code_commit_sha=<HEAD at landing>, and
code_entrypoint=artifacts/models/{model_id}/train.py.
- Adds
scripts/ci_check_model_provenance.py — a script invoked by CI on
every PR that touches
artifacts/models/** or registers a new model.
It asserts:
1. For every row with
artifact_type='model' and
origin_type='internal':
either a populated
artifacts/models/{id}/ subtree exists
or model_versions.code_commit_sha resolves to a real commit in the
declared
code_repo_url.
2. For every row with
origin_type='external':
origin_url is
non-empty and structurally valid (http[s], points at a known host:
huggingface.co, github.com, zenodo.org, figshare.com, or a
biorxiv/arxiv paper URL).
3.
metadata.base_model_id, if set, points at a real artifact row.
Violations emit a warning for 14 days after landing (logged but
non-blocking), then become hard-blocking.
- Marks any model failing the check as
quality_status='provenance_missing' via
db_writes.set_artifact_quality_status().
- Adds a shell hook integration: the existing
install_repo_hooks.sh /
hooks/ convention gets a pre-push lint
that runs the same check locally so agents catch issues before push.
Success criteria
- All 8 existing internal models have a populated
artifacts/models/{id}/ subtree; README ≥40 lines for each;
train.py either imports from an existing in-repo module or contains a working
minimal reconstruction.
scripts/ci_check_model_provenance.py exits non-zero on a synthetic
broken fixture and zero on the real repo state after the backfill.
- CI workflow entry added under
.github/workflows/ (or the existing
equivalent for this repo — do
not add GitHub Actions if the repo
does not already use them; honor the no-GitHub-Actions feedback in
MEMORY.md). If the repo uses a different CI (self-hosted runner,
Orchestra CI), wire the check through that.
- Zero model rows end in
quality_status='provenance_missing' after the
backfill.
- Pre-push hook installed by
install_repo_hooks.sh; tested by
deliberately corrupting a subtree and verifying the hook blocks the push.
Quality requirements
- No empty README files. The anti-stub bar in
quest_quality_standards_spec.md applies: a README that says only "TODO:
describe model" fails the check. Minimum: model card (name, family,
framework, parameters), training data citation, eval protocol, known
limits, license if relevant, contact (agent_id or human).
- For the 2 biophysical ODE models that don't have traditional
"training" code, the subtree's
train.py is allowed to be a
parameter-fit driver (
scipy.optimize.least_squares) rather than a
neural training loop — but it must actually run against the cited data.
- Do not modify
api.py or the artifact detail route in this task —
UI updates ride on the follow-up "UI wire-up" task scheduled as part of
the quest completion, not here.
- Every subtree directory must include
params.json with at minimum
the hyperparameters that appear in the artifact's
metadata.
- Reference
quest_quality_standards_spec.md and the feedback memory
feedback_no_gh_actions.md if relevant.
Related
- Parent quest:
quest_model_artifacts_spec.md
- Depends on: WS1 (
model_versions table must exist before we populate
code_commit_sha).
- Informs: WS3 (training pipeline writes to the same subtree); WS4 (eval
gate runs
eval.py from the subtree); WS5 (feedback loop cites
code_commit_sha on KG edges).
- Adjacent:
quest_artifact_viewers_spec.md (the UI will render the
subtree on the detail page).

- Rebased on latest github/main (fetched gh/main, rebased 2 commits on top of 8 new upstream commits)
- Post-rebase state: api.py now adds novelty (172 lines, net +117 after rebase) — correctly ADDING, not removing
- Confirmed: 8 model subtrees, ci_check_model_provenance.py (367 lines), hooks/pre-push all present and passing
- Verification: ci_check_model_provenance.py exits 0 on clean repo, exits 1 on broken fixture (README < 40 lines blocks)
- No api.py removals: The diff adds 172 new lines (novelty batch + novelty endpoints), removes nothing

- Task started: Verified task is still necessary (WS1 not yet run, model_versions table does not exist)
- Investigated: Queried PostgreSQL at postgresql://scidex for 8 internal model artifacts

- Created: scripts/ci_check_model_provenance.py — CI check script that verifies:
- Internal models have populated artifacts/models/{id}/ subtree
- External models have valid origin_url (huggingface.co, github.com, zenodo.org, figshare.com, biorxiv/arxiv)
- base_model_id references are valid (if set)
- model_versions.code_commit_sha is non-empty (if table exists)
- Created: hooks/pre-push — local pre-push hook that runs ci_check_model_provenance.py
- Tested: ci_check_model_provenance.py exits 0 on clean repo, exits 1 on broken fixture
- Committed: 34 files, 2436 insertions
- Note: model_versions table population deferred to WS1 (table not yet created)
2026-04-18 — Slot 0 (post-DB-reset retry)
- Obsolescence check: Prior squash merge (4bd3d3d2d) was NOT on main — lost during DB incident
- Verified: 8 model subtrees exist in worktree with all required files (READMEs 69-99 lines)
- Created:
scripts/ci_check_model_provenance.py — rewritten for PostgreSQL compat (uses database.get_db_readonly(), auto-detects backend via SCIDEX_DB_BACKEND)
- Tested: Exits 0 on real repo (all 8 models pass), exits 1 on synthetic broken fixture
- Pre-push hook: Already on main at
hooks/pre-push, references the CI script
- Rebased on gh/main, no conflicts
