2026-05-17 Research Project Roots Deep Review

Provenance

Origin: local read-only review requested by the user on 2026-05-17.

Roots inspected:

  • D:/Research/Agent-AI4EDA/analog-agent

  • D:/Research/TGL-Rec

Commands used included:

git status --short --branch

No files in the four project repositories were modified.

Coverage Strategy

  • EXTRACTED: All git-tracked paths were classified by category: source, config, test, doc, script, prompt, paper, artifact pointer, or other metadata.
  • EXTRACTED: Large raw data, generated outputs, logs, .tar.gz, .tgz, and model/checkpoint-like artifacts were inventoried by path pattern and size rather than copied or read line by line.
  • EXTRACTED: Public wiki pages record source paths, summaries, and safety boundaries only. They do not mirror raw data, logs, private .env contents, model weights, or evidence archive contents.

Artifact Inventory Summary

ProjectLargest artifact patternsPublic wiki treatment
analog-agentignored archive/legacy/... and .artifacts/simulation/.../tran.json files around 0.2 MB each; no giant raw/model artifact visible in the scanRecord route, truth boundary, and artifact policy. Do not copy archive outputs, simulator logs, PDK/model-card contents, or private paper drafts.
uncertaintyAmazon raw JSONL/GZ files up to about 21.6 GB; processed MovieLens JSONL up to about 4.8 GB; official evidence tarballs up to about 397 MBRecord path patterns, sizes, and status only. Do not copy raw data or evidence archive contents.
truce-recAmazon Video Games raw JSONL about 2.6 GB; observation inputs and examples up to about 790 MB; Pony evidence tarballs up to about 379 MB; controlled-baseline score plans about 253-255 MBRecord manifest/evidence status only. Do not copy .env, logs, raw outputs, or evidence package contents.
tgl-recTGL-Rec-phase9e-lora-results.tgz about 2.8 GB; raw Video Games JSONL about 2.6 GB; predictions JSONL about 1.4-1.7 GB eachRecord as generated/protocol artifacts. Do not copy full predictions, PDFs, archives, model artifacts, or private configs.

Extracted Project Baselines

Analog Agent

  • EXTRACTED: The safe default claim is a calibrated, surrogate-guided analog sizing loop under explicit SPICE truth boundaries.
  • EXTRACTED: Canonical first-read docs are README.md, docs/configured_truth_user_action_boundary.md, docs/repo-map.md, docs/related_work_map.md, docs/stop_conditions.md, configs/default.yaml, configs/benchmarks/multi_task_suite_v1.yaml, configs/simulator/ngspice.yaml, and scripts/run_system_closure_report.py.
  • EXTRACTED: The project must not claim signoff, full-PDK, layout, PEX, yield, or universal analog-design closure unless evidence is present and reproducible.
  • EXTRACTED: archive/ is the durable ignored sink for paper drafts, benchmark exports, experiment results, reports, and historical outputs; .artifacts/ is transient simulator/cache output.

Uncertainty / Pony-Rec

  • EXTRACTED: Defended claim is task-grounded calibrated uncertainty improving controlled candidate ranking/reranking reliability under same-schema evaluation.
  • EXTRACTED: Canonical first-read docs are README.md, docs/milestones/README.md, docs/paper_claims_and_status.md, docs/top_conference_review_gate.md, and docs/server_runbook.md.
  • EXTRACTED: Official baselines require pinned official or official-code-level implementations, Qwen3-8B declared adaptation, exact same-candidate score export, and importer gates.

TRUCE-Rec

  • EXTRACTED: Strategic spine is generative recommendation observation CURE/TRUCE framework Qwen3-8B-LoRA Ours adapter and ablations official baseline families shared same-candidate evaluator four-domain experiments.
  • EXTRACTED: Current paper-facing external baseline route is Pony official evidence import, not legacy controlled-adapter reruns.
  • EXTRACTED: Evidence labels distinguish smoke/mock, diagnostic, controlled adapter pilot, official native controlled, and paper result.

TGL-Rec

  • EXTRACTED: Active direction is Phase 10: observation to original framework to full recommender system.
  • EXTRACTED: Active framework is src/llm4rec; src/tglrec is legacy/compatibility tooling unless explicitly targeted.
  • EXTRACTED: Active baseline plan reuses Pony official baselines, with promax pending and setrec blocked/replaced in current TGL memory.

Collaboration Rule Interpretation

  • INFERRED: Vipin wiki and project-local AGENTS.md files are compatible if treated as layers.
  • INFERRED: Vipin wiki owns durable routing and partner-language memory; target projects own local edit, claim, baseline, server, and evidence rules.
  • INFERRED: Opus, Sonnet, DeepSeek/Whale, and Codex parallel selves can be used as read-only or bounded collaborators when the environment permits, but Codex remains responsible for integration, verification, commits, and pushes in Vipin wiki.
  • INFERRED: Analog-agent’s multi-agent requirement is compatible with the workbench: use explorer/reviewer passes for complex analog tasks, but preserve SPICE/configured-truth gates and target-repo ownership.

Counterpoints and Gaps

  • This source note is a public-safe metadata record, not a complete raw-file mirror.
  • Some live artifacts, especially untracked summaries or fresh tarballs, may be newer than canonical docs. Future agents should resolve such drift inside the target repo before changing paper-facing status.
  • The review did not run project tests or validate scientific metrics; it created a wiki workbench and routing memory.
