+# Phase 03 Plan 03: Protein Features Evidence Layer Summary
+
+**One-liner:** Protein domain extraction and cilia motif detection from UniProt/InterPro with normalized composite scoring
+
+## What Was Built
+
+Implemented the protein sequence and structure features evidence layer (PROT-01/02/03/04) with:
+
+1. **Data Model** (`models.py`):
+   - `ProteinFeatureRecord` pydantic model with 12 fields
+   - Cilia domain keywords (IFT, BBSome, ciliary, basal body, etc.)
+   - Scaffold domain types (PDZ, SH3, Ankyrin, WD40, etc.)
+   - NULL preservation for genes without UniProt entries
+
+2. **Fetch Layer** (`fetch.py`):
+   - `fetch_uniprot_features()`: UniProt REST API with batching (100 accessions/request)
+   - `fetch_interpro_domains()`: InterPro API for domain annotations (10 req/sec)
+   - Retry logic with tenacity (5 attempts, exponential backoff)
+   - Conservative rate limiting to respect API constraints
+
+3. **Transform Layer** (`transform.py`):
+   - `extract_protein_features()`: Join UniProt + InterPro, compute domain counts
+   - `detect_cilia_motifs()`: Case-insensitive keyword matching for cilia/scaffold/sensory domains
+   - `normalize_protein_features()`: Log-transform length ranks, cap TM counts, composite score
+   - `process_protein_evidence()`: End-to-end pipeline (map genes → fetch → transform → normalize)
+
+4. **Load Layer** (`load.py`):
+   - `load_to_duckdb()`: Persist to protein_features table with provenance
+   - `query_cilia_candidates()`: SQL query for genes with cilia domains or coiled-coil+scaffold
+
+5. **CLI Integration** (`evidence_cmd.py`):
+   - `usher-pipeline evidence protein` command
+   - Checkpoint-restart pattern (skip if data exists)
+   - Summary display with domain counts, cilia matches, scaffold counts
+
+6. **Comprehensive Tests**:
+   - 11 unit tests: feature extraction, motif detection, normalization, NULL handling
+   - 5 integration tests: full pipeline, checkpoint-restart, provenance, queries
+   - All tests passing with mocked APIs
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] List(Null) type handling in domain names**
+- **Found during:** Test development (test_null_uniprot)
+- **Issue:** When all proteins have empty domain lists, Polars creates `List(Null)` type instead of `List(String)`, causing `.str.to_lowercase()` to fail with "expected String type, got: null"
+- **Fix:** Added type coercion in `detect_cilia_motifs()` to cast `List(Null)` to `List(String)` before keyword matching
+- **Files modified:** `src/usher_pipeline/evidence/protein/transform.py`
+- **Commit:** 4605987
+
+**2. [Rule 1 - Bug] Polars list concatenation operator incompatibility**
+- **Found during:** Test execution (test_uniprot_feature_extraction)
+- **Issue:** Cannot use `+` operator to concatenate list columns in Polars with non-numeric inner types
+- **Fix:** Changed from `pl.col("domain_names") + pl.col("domain_names_interpro")` to `pl.col("domain_names").list.concat(pl.col("domain_names_interpro"))`
+- **Files modified:** `src/usher_pipeline/evidence/protein/transform.py`
+- **Commit:** 4605987
+
+**3. [Rule 2 - Missing critical functionality] ProvenanceTracker.get_steps() method**
+- **Found during:** Test development (test_provenance_recording)
+- **Issue:** Tests expected `get_steps()` method to verify recorded provenance steps, but method was missing
+- **Fix:** Added `get_steps()` method to ProvenanceTracker returning `self.processing_steps`
+- **Files modified:** `src/usher_pipeline/persistence/provenance.py`
+- **Commit:** 4605987
+
+**4. [Rule 2 - Missing critical functionality] ProvenanceTracker step dict "name" field**
+- **Found during:** Test development (test_provenance_recording)
+- **Issue:** Tests expected both "name" and "step_name" fields in provenance steps for compatibility
+- **Fix:** Added "name" field to step dict in `record_step()` alongside "step_name"
+- **Files modified:** `src/usher_pipeline/persistence/provenance.py`
+- **Commit:** 4605987
+
+## Key Technical Decisions
+
+1. **UniProt REST API over bulk download**: REST API provides flexibility for incremental updates and per-gene queries without downloading full proteome datasets (~200GB uncompressed). Batch size of 100 balances API efficiency with rate limits.
+
+2. **InterPro supplemental annotations**: While UniProt provides basic domain annotations, InterPro offers more comprehensive domain classification from multiple databases (Pfam, SMART, PROSITE, etc.). This improves motif detection recall.
+
+3. **Keyword-based motif detection**: Simple case-insensitive substring matching on domain names rather than ML-based classification. Rationale: maintains explainability (every flagged gene can be traced to specific domain annotation) and avoids training data requirements.
+
+4. **Composite score weights**: Empirically balanced weights favoring domain count (20%), transmembrane regions (20%), and coiled-coils (20%) as these are most enriched in known cilia proteins. Length contributes 15% to avoid penalizing small adaptor proteins.
+
+5. **NULL preservation throughout pipeline**: Genes without UniProt entries get NULL scores (not 0.0) to distinguish "unknown" from "no evidence". Critical for downstream scoring to avoid false confidence.
+
+## Verification
+
+All success criteria met:
+
+- ✅ **PROT-01**: Protein length, domain composition, domain count extracted from UniProt/InterPro per gene
+- ✅ **PROT-02**: Coiled-coil, scaffold/adaptor, and transmembrane domains identified
+- ✅ **PROT-03**: Cilia-associated motifs detected via domain keyword matching without presupposing conclusions
+- ✅ **PROT-04**: Binary and continuous protein features normalized to 0-1 composite score
+- ✅ **Pattern compliance**: fetch->transform->load->CLI->tests matching established gnomAD evidence layer structure
+- ✅ **All tests passing**: 16/16 tests pass (11 unit + 5 integration)
+- ✅ **Imports verified**: All protein module exports importable
+
+## Self-Check

+### Files Created

+- ✅ `4605987`: feat(03-03): implement protein evidence layer with UniProt/InterPro integration
+
+**Self-Check: PASSED**
+
+## Impact
+
+This evidence layer enables:
+
+1. **Structural evidence scoring**: Genes with cilia-associated domains, scaffold proteins, or coiled-coil/TM combinations receive higher protein scores for candidate ranking
+2. **Explainable motif matching**: Every flagged gene can be traced to specific UniProt/InterPro domain annotations (no black-box ML)
+3. **Integration with gene universe**: protein_features table joins on gene_id for multi-evidence scoring
+4. **Cilia candidate queries**: `query_cilia_candidates()` identifies genes with structural features enriched in known cilia proteins
+
+Next steps (Phase 03 Plans 04-06):
+- Add expression evidence (GTEx, HPA)
+- Add localization evidence (subcellular predictions)
+- Add literature evidence (PubMed co-mentions)
