[Senate] Paper accumulation — Ed Lein (ed-lein) done

Quest: Paper accumulation

> Goal. Keep the SciDEX papers cache populated with the publications relevant to active domains (per quest_landscape_analyses) AND to the named scientists the system is building personas for (per quest_personas). This is a lightweight upstream quest whose output — full text + metadata of papers, plus ORCID-identified author records — is consumed by landscape analyses, persona builders, and invention/experiment debates.
>
> Scoped narrowly on purpose: this quest does NOT analyze, synthesize, or score. It accumulates. Downstream quests consume the cache.

Parent: [scidex_economy_design_spec.md](scidex_economy_design_spec.md).
Consumers: [quest_personas_spec.md](quest_personas_spec.md), [quest_landscape_analyses_spec.md](quest_landscape_analyses_spec.md), [quest_allen_experiments_spec.md](quest_allen_experiments_spec.md).

---

1. Scope

The quest fills three collection targets:

Scientist corpora. For each scientist in the persona set (initial list: Hongkui Zeng, Sue Kaech, Ed Lein, Karel Svoboda, Jay Shendure, Jesse Gray, Rui Costa, Andy Hickl, Ru Gunawardane — see quest_personas_spec.md for disambiguation). Collect every paper where they are an author.

Domain corpora. For each domain that has an active landscape analysis (per quest_landscape_analyses). Pull the N most-cited + N most-recent papers for the domain's cell queries.

Allen Institute dataset papers. Papers that USE Allen Institute datasets (Brain Map, SEA-AD, BICCN, Cell Types DB, OpenScope, etc.). These are the pool from which quest_allen_experiments draws its showcase seeds.

2. Inputs

• ORCID IDs or Google Scholar profile IDs per scientist (resolved from the Allen-institute-sources survey — see research task #79).
• Landscape-analysis cell queries (from the cells' top_papers_by_cell hints).
• An allowlist of Allen-Institute dataset DOIs (seeded; grows over time as papers are tagged).

3. Output

Every collected paper lands in the papers cache as:

papers/<doi-or-hash>/
  paper.json        # metadata (title, authors_with_orcid, abstract, year, venue, doi, citations, pmid)
  paper.md          # structured markdown of the paper (full text if open-access; abstract otherwise)
  figures/          # extracted images where available
  tags.json         # domain tags + dataset tags + scientist-author tags
  provenance.json   # source (pubmed, openalex, semanticscholar, arxiv), fetch date, license

Paper rows get a scientist_author_orcid_ids list so downstream quests query "give me all papers where Ed Lein is an author" in one hop.

4. Sources + ingestion

The quest uses three canonical sources, in priority order:

OpenAlex (openalex.org) — primary. Open index with DOI, authors, citations, references, open-access links. Free tier sufficient.

PubMed — biomedicine primary, filled in via NCBI E-utilities.

arXiv / bioRxiv — preprints; used for supplementary coverage when OpenAlex/PubMed lag.

Semantic Scholar — fallback for citation networks and embeddings.

Full-text access is opportunistic: if OpenAlex has an open-access URL, fetch and store. Otherwise, metadata + abstract only, and we rely on future open-access re-crawl passes.

5. Task shape

task_type = multi_iter is overkill here — most accumulation tasks are one_shot:

• one_shot task per scientist: "accumulate Hongkui Zeng's corpus" — runs an author-resolved search, pulls papers, caches them, emits a count + diff summary. Done.
• one_shot task per active-landscape-cell: "pull top N papers for CRISPR base editing → safety cell".
• recurring task per week: "refresh all cached scientists' corpora" (but paused by default, per the CI-task rule — only unblocked when the user explicitly wants the refresh loop).

Acceptance criteria (one_shot case): ≥90% of the expected paper count landed in the cache, or an explanatory summary explaining why we couldn't reach 90%. No multi-agent debate needed — this is mechanical.

6. Disambiguation

This is where the quest earns its keep. Author disambiguation is the hardest part:

• First choice: ORCID iD. If the persona-builder has an ORCID for the scientist, search by that.
• Second choice: scientist's registered email domain + co-author fingerprint. If hongkui.zeng@alleninstitute.org (or the historic domain) is known, filter author records whose affiliation matches.
• Third choice: a curator's manual pin. Each scientist has an author_manifest.json in personas/<scientist-slug>/ that lists confirmed OpenAlex author IDs; the quest uses those directly.

If none of those are available, the quest emits an "ambiguous — needs curator" sub-task tagged to the quest_personas quest for resolution.

7. Capacity + cost

• Accumulation jobs are I/O-bound, not LLM-bound. They use a lightweight harness (not a full claude agent) — orchestra sandbox run-script equivalent.
• Per-scientist accumulation: ~5-20 API hits + O(MB) storage. Fast.
• Per-landscape-cell: ~50-500 API hits + O(10MB) storage. Medium.
• Refresh cadence (when unblocked): weekly for scientists, domain-dependent for cells (aligned with quest_landscape_analyses refresh cadence).

8. Interactions

• quest_personas — primary consumer. Personas are built by reading the scientist's accumulated corpus.
• quest_landscape_analyses — consumer. Landscape analyses over-query the cache and under-query live APIs to stay fast.
• quest_allen_experiments — consumer. Allen-dataset-tagged papers are the candidate pool for showcase experiment seeds.
• Atlas world model — papers with structured extractable content (methods, results) feed the existing experiment-extraction pipeline in quest_experiment_extraction_spec.md.

9. Dependency declaration

Downstream task rows declare blocked_by = [paper_accumulation_task_id] so they can't start until the relevant paper set lands. The supervisor already respects blocked_by.

2026-04-24 15:05 PT — Slot codex:54 [task:24a1b067-e414-43cf-a64a-593dd2fb8480]

• Re-opened Claire paper-accumulation task after operator retry with Allen affiliation confirmed.
• Verified the blocking assumption was wrong because the scientist is spelled Claire Gustafson on current Allen Institute pages, while the task slug remains claire-gustavson.
• Confirmed live Allen profile at https://alleninstitute.org/person/claire-gustafson/ with role Assistant Investigator in Immunology / Immune Health and Aging and research focus on immune aging across the lifespan.
• Resolved deterministic author identity via OpenAlex: primary author A5031013209, duplicate/overflow author A5133904506, ORCID 0000-0002-1437-6709.
• Planned implementation: add personas/claire-gustavson/author_manifest.json, add a dedicated accumulation script using the resolved OpenAlex IDs + PubMed abstract enrichment, run the ingest, then write the final coverage/result summary back into this spec.

Claire Gustafson corpus accumulation — COMPLETE

• Corrected the scientist identity from Claire Gustavson to Claire E. Gustafson while preserving the task/persona slug claire-gustavson.
• Allen resolution: live profile https://alleninstitute.org/person/claire-gustafson/ shows Assistant Investigator in Immunology / Immune Health and Aging with an immune-aging research focus.
• Deterministic author resolution: OpenAlex primary author A5031013209, duplicate author A5133904506, ORCID 0000-0002-1437-6709.
• Semantic Scholar cross-check: author search returned only ambiguous profiles (40340897, 2261786263) without better institutional disambiguation than OpenAlex, so OpenAlex + ORCID remained authoritative.
• Added personas/claire-gustavson/author_manifest.json and scripts/accumulate_claire_gustafson_papers.py for repeatable ingestion.
• Ingest run: fetched 67 unique OpenAlex works, PubMed-enriched 6 missing abstracts, and stored 41 new + 26 updated = 67/67 papers with 0 errors.
• Database verification after ingest: papers rows tagged with Claire's ORCID = 67; paper_corpus_entries tagged claire-gustavson = 67; ingest run recorded as ingest_cg_9747613502c9.
• Abstract coverage: 55/67 = 82%. Count coverage is the quest target, and 67/67 = 100% exceeds the >=90% requirement. The remaining 12 abstract gaps are OpenAlex/PubMed availability gaps, not author-resolution gaps.
• Acceptance criteria: MET — 100% of expected paper count landed in cache.

10. Open questions

• How do we handle closed-access papers that are central to a scientist's corpus? (Proposed: metadata + abstract only; flag as "full-text-pending"; if the institution ever gets a subscription, backfill.)
• Do we store papers under DOI or under a content-hash? (Proposed: DOI primary, hash for papers without a DOI.)
• License — OpenAlex is CC0, PubMed is public domain for the abstracts we fetch. Full-text PDFs carry their own licenses; store + index but don't redistribute through the UI.
