# Phase 01: Data Infrastructure Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** Establish reproducible data foundation and gene ID mapping utilities
**Verified:** 2026-02-11T08:47:54Z
**Status:** passed
**Re-verification:** No - initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|---|-------|--------|----------|
| 1 | Pipeline uses Ensembl gene IDs as primary keys throughout with validated mapping to HGNC symbols and UniProt accessions | ✓ VERIFIED | GeneMapper.map_ensembl_ids() returns MappingResult with ensembl_id, hgnc_symbol, uniprot_accession. CLI setup command saves gene_universe table with all three columns. |
| 2 | Configuration system loads YAML parameters with Pydantic validation and rejects invalid configs | ✓ VERIFIED | load_config() uses Pydantic v2 PipelineConfig with field validators (ensembl_release >= 100). Tests verify ValidationError on invalid input. |
| 3 | API clients retrieve data from external sources with rate limiting, retry logic, and persistent disk caching | ✓ VERIFIED | CachedAPIClient base class uses requests_cache (SQLite backend), tenacity retry (429/5xx), rate limiting (configurable req/sec). Tests verify cache hits and rate limit behavior. |
| 4 | DuckDB database stores intermediate results enabling restart-from-checkpoint without re-downloading | ✓ VERIFIED | PipelineStore.has_checkpoint() detects existing tables. CLI setup command checks checkpoint and skips re-fetch. Integration tests verify checkpoint-restart flow. |
| 5 | Every pipeline output includes provenance metadata: pipeline version, data source versions, timestamps, config hash | ✓ VERIFIED | ProvenanceTracker captures pipeline_version, data_source_versions, config_hash, created_at, and processing_steps. CLI setup command saves provenance sidecar JSON. |

**Score:** 5/5 truths verified

### Human Verification Required

#### 1. Full CLI Execution Test

**Test:** Install package in fresh virtual environment and run full setup flow
```bash
python3 -m venv test_venv
source test_venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
usher-pipeline --help
usher-pipeline info --config config/default.yaml
usher-pipeline setup --config config/default.yaml
```

**Expected:** 
- usher-pipeline command available after install
- info command displays version, config hash, data source versions
- setup command fetches ~20,000 protein-coding genes from mygene
- Mapping success rate >= 90% for HGNC symbols
- gene_universe table created in DuckDB with 3 columns (ensembl_id, hgnc_symbol, uniprot_accession)
- Provenance sidecar created at data/setup.provenance.json
- Second run detects checkpoint and skips re-fetch

**Why human:** Full integration with real external APIs (mygene), network latency, actual API responses may vary from mocks

#### 2. Config Validation Behavior

**Test:** Create invalid config files and verify rejection
```bash
# Test 1: Invalid ensembl release
echo "ensembl_release: 50" > test_bad.yaml
usher-pipeline info --config test_bad.yaml  # Should fail with ValidationError

# Test 2: Missing required field
echo "data_dir: /tmp/data" > test_incomplete.yaml
usher-pipeline info --config test_incomplete.yaml  # Should fail
```

**Expected:** Clear ValidationError messages explaining what's wrong

**Why human:** Error message clarity and user experience assessment

#### 3. Checkpoint-Restart Robustness

**Test:** Interrupt setup mid-execution, verify restart works
```bash
usher-pipeline setup &
PID=$!
sleep 5  # Let it start fetching
kill $PID  # Interrupt
usher-pipeline setup  # Should resume or skip completed steps
```

**Expected:** Graceful handling of interruption, checkpoint detection on restart

**Why human:** Tests real-world failure scenarios and resource cleanup

#### 4. Test Suite Completeness

**Test:** Run full test suite
```bash
pytest tests/ -v --cov=usher_pipeline --cov-report=term-missing
```

**Expected:** 
- 49 tests pass, 1 skipped (pandas)
- Coverage >= 80% for core modules
- No import errors or fixture issues

**Why human:** Verify test environment setup works correctly
