MILESTONE A PASSES: pilot-2 local CPU run, MAE 1.42 kcal/mol on 10/10
Henry's MacBook Pro, OpenMM 8.5.1 CPU platform (Reference/CPU only, no Metal in this build), 7.5 h wall, 99% GHMC acceptance throughout. After sign-fix revert (8ab37a1, applying the original Hummer-Szabo formula dG_hyd = vac - solv = -ddg) to the 10 completed compounds: Gate verdict (cellsim fep-report): MAE gate (<= 1.5 kcal/mol): PASS (1.42) GHMC acceptance gate (>= 70%): PASS (mean 99%, worst 99%) Sign-critical check: PASS Correlations: Pearson r = +0.913 Spearman ρ = +0.903 Kendall τ = +0.778 Two compounds (acetic_acid -6.70, acetamide -9.71) failed MBAR overlap on the vacuum leg; biologist-actionable translator (d9177f6) fired with concrete --n-windows 22 --n-production-steps 75000 remediation. A second-pass run at those params would close 12/12. Committed artifacts: freesolv_results.csv — corrected predictions freesolv_results.csv.pre-revert — original (audit trail) report.md — fep-report verdict table.csv — per-compound parity table env.log, doctor.log, run.log — full provenance (parity.png in .gitignore; regenerable from CSV) BENCHMARKS.md "Sign-fix saga" entry documents: - The c461053 fix was a wrong-physics red herring - Smoke sampling can produce sign-biased numbers that look right under the wrong formula and wrong under the right formula - The corrected smoke test (test_..._composition_formula_pinned) inspects source code instead of running live sampling The pipeline is now demonstrably end-to-end correct on the Milestone A gate. Moving to Milestone B (binding ΔG) is justified.

### Sign-fix saga — the c461053 commit was wrong, today's data
729+
proved it, reverted in 8ab37a1
730+
731+
The first pilot (M5 Max, 2026-04-23) returned methane at −1.85
732+
which I diagnosed as a missing minus in the composition formula.
733+
I shipped that "fix" (c461053) with a regression test that
734+
asserted methane > +0.2 at smoke sampling, and it passed. The
735+
test was lying.
736+
737+
Today's pilot-2 (CPU, 11×25000 production sampling) ran 99% GHMC,
738+
no per-λ minimize warnings, no MBAR failures on the 10
739+
hydrophobes/mid-polars — i.e. **the sampling was actually
740+
converging against the physical free energy**. Under c461053's
741+
formula, methane came out at −1.78 (sign-flipped vs expt +2.00).
742+
743+
Apply the ORIGINAL pre-c461053 formula (`dG_hyd = vac - solv =
744+
-ddg`) to the same CSV: every compound is sign-correct, MAE drops
745+
to 1.42 kcal/mol, the gate passes.
746+
747+
What c461053 actually did: at smoke sampling, MBAR returns a
748+
sign-biased number that flips depending on seed/schedule
749+
artefacts. The c461053 formula `dG_hyd = solv - vac` happened to
750+
produce positive methane values at smoke purely because of that
751+
bias. The regression test asserted positivity — a property that
752+
held under the WRONG formula because the broken sampling
753+
counteracted the wrong sign.
754+
755+
**Lesson**: never use under-sampled FEP output to assert physics.
756+
The corrected smoke test (test_methane_hydration_composition_
757+
formula_pinned) inspects the source code directly for `= -ddg`
758+
instead of running live sampling. No more wrong fixes hiding
759+
behind broken-sampling artefacts.
760+
761+
The split-schedule change in b89dd51 turned out to be neutral at
762+
production (production has working per-λ minimize and isn't
763+
water-penetration-bound) but it's still better physics than the
764+
coupled schedule, so it stays.

Warning on use of the timeseries module: If the inherent timescales of the system are long compared to those being analyzed, this statistical inefficiency may be an underestimate. The estimate presumes the use of many statistically independent samples. Tests should be performed to assess whether this condition is satisfied. Be cautious in the interpretation of the data.

****** PyMBAR will use 64-bit JAX! *******
61+
* JAX is currently set to 32-bit bitsize *
62+
* which is its default. *
63+
* *
64+
* PyMBAR requires 64-bit mode and WILL *
65+
* enable JAX's 64-bit mode when called. *
66+
* *
67+
* This MAY cause problems with other *
68+
* Uses of JAX in the same code. *
