+# 62 — Per-element attribute gaps
+
+## Why
+
+XSD vs Ruby Base comparison reveals 53 (schema3) / 58 (schema24)
+attribute declarations that are not yet modelled. They cluster across
+20 elements. Most are 1-3 missing attributes; the parallel-array
+attributes for atomArray/bondArray are split out into TODO 61.
+
+## Gaps (after TODO 61 closes)
+
+| Element | Missing |
+|---|---|
+| alternative | type |
+| band | kpoint (schema24 only) |
+| bond | atomRefs (singular, not atomRefs2) |
+| cellParameter | error, type |
+| cml (module) | fileId, version |
+| eigen | orientation |
+| entry | convention, title, columns, rows, length, minLength, maxLength, pattern, minExclusive, minInclusive, maxExclusive, maxInclusive, fractionDigits, totalDigits, whiteSpace (XSD facets) |
+| isotope | spin |
+| module | role, serial |
+| molecule | formula |
+| peakStructure | type |
+| potential | form |
+| reaction | format, role |
+| reactionScheme | format, role, type |
+| reactionStepList | format |
+| relatedEntry | type (schema24 only) |
+| spectrum | type |
+| substance | id |
+| substanceList | type |
+| unitList | type |
+
+## Work
+
+For each row above, add `attribute :foo, :string` + `map_attribute "foo", to: :foo`
+to the relevant `lib/chemicalml/cml/base/*.rb` module.
+
+The 15 XSD facets on `entry` (columns, fractionDigits, etc.) are
+genuine CML — they describe the data type the entry represents, and
+are emitted by the upstream dictionary files. They are not internal
+XSD noise.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- XSD vs Ruby comparison reports 0 attribute gaps.
+- Round-trip of an example with `entry/@pattern` etc. is preserved.
+- Spec coverage for at least one new attribute on each touched element.

+# 63 — Universal children mixin
+
+## Why
+
+The CML Schema 2.4 XSD declares `metadataList`, `label`, `name`, and
+`description` as children of nearly every element. Adding these four
+declarations to every `Base::*` module individually is a DRY
+violation: the same 16 lines of `attribute` + `map_element` would
+appear in ~50 files.
+
+## Solution
+
+Introduce a shared mixin `Chemicalml::Cml::Base::CommonChildren`
+that declares:
+
+```ruby
+attribute :metadata_lists, :metadataList, collection: true
+attribute :labels, :label, collection: true
+attribute :names, :name, collection: true
+attribute :descriptions, :description, collection: true
+```
+
+with matching `map_element` declarations. The mixin is included by
+the `Base::*` modules whose XSD declares these children.
+
+The mixin is **opt-in** — elements that the XSD does not grant these
+children to (e.g. `<atom>`, `<bond>` in schema24) do not include it.
+This keeps MECE discipline: one place owns the universal child set.
+
+## Work
+
+1. Create `lib/chemicalml/cml/base/common_children.rb`.
+2. For each Base module where the XSD declares metadataList/label/name/description as a child, add `include CommonChildren` and remove the now-redundant individual declarations.
+3. Add a spec `spec/chemicalml/cml/common_children_spec.rb` asserting
+   the children appear after `include CommonChildren` and round-trip
+   through XML.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- `CommonChildren` exists and is included by at least 10 Base modules.
+- No Base module re-declares `metadata_lists` / `labels` / `names` / `descriptions` individually.
+- Specs green.

+# 64 — Per-element child element gaps (Schema 2.4)
+
+## Why
+
+XSD vs Ruby Base comparison reveals 235 missing child declarations
+across ~60 Schema 2.4 elements. These are real CML elements that
+real CML documents contain but our Ruby model drops silently.
+
+The Schema 3 XSD declares `<anyCml>` (a wildcard) as a child of every
+element — that is intentionally NOT modelled as a concrete child,
+because doing so would defeat the type system. The Schema 2.4 gaps
+below are *specific* named children, not wildcards.
+

+3. Add at least one spec per touched element covering a round-trip

+# 73 — Document Schema24 nested-parse limitation
+
+## Why
+
+`Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::Document.from_xml` fails on any document
+with non-trivial nested content:
+
+```ruby
+Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::Document.from_xml(
+  %(<cml xmlns="http://www.xml-cml.org/schema"><molecule id="m1"/></cml>),
+  register: :chemicalml_schema24
+)
+# => Lutaml::Model::InvalidFormatError: Document has no root element.
+```
+
+Empty `<cml/>` parses; any child element triggers the failure.
+
+## Root cause
+
+Tracing the failure, the XML parser is invoked twice for nested
+content. The second call receives the *attribute value* (e.g. `"m1"`)
+instead of an XML fragment — indicating lutaml-model's TypeResolver
+is mis-resolving the child type. The error surfaces as
+`Unknown type 'molecule' in context 'default'`.
+
+Schema3 does not exhibit this. Both Schema3 and Schema24 register
+`:molecule` in their own contexts; the `chemicalml_schema24` context
+resolves `:molecule` to `Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::Molecule`
+correctly when inspected directly. The failure is in the
+*attribute cast* path inside `Lutaml::Model::Attribute#cast`, which
+uses a different lookup mechanism that appears to default to the
+`:default` context.
+
+This looks like a lutaml-model issue with how `Attribute#cast` resolves
+child types when multiple schema-version contexts are registered
+globally. Investigating further requires changes inside lutaml-model.
+
+## Workaround
+
+Schema24 wire classes themselves work correctly when constructed
+directly:
+
+```ruby
+Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::Molecule.new(id: "m1", atom_array: ...) # works
+Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::Molecule#to_xml                          # works
+```
+
+So Schema24 round-trips through *construction → serialize*, just not
+through *parse → re-serialize*. Existing Schema24 specs use direct
+construction; they continue to pass.
+
+## Work
+
+1. Document this limitation in `CLAUDE.md` and in a comment on
+   `Schema24::Configuration`.
+2. Add a `pending: true` spec that asserts the behaviour fails today
+   and will catch the regression automatically when lutaml-model is
+   fixed.
+3. File an issue upstream in `lutaml/lutaml-model`.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- CLAUDE.md notes the limitation.
+- Pending spec exists and is marked `pending`.

+# 75 — key_value mappings for JSON / YAML wire names
+
+## Why
+
+`lutaml-model` supports a `key_value do ... end` block alongside
+`xml do ... end` to declare JSON/YAML wire names. Previously Base
+modules declared only XML mappings, so JSON output used Ruby
+snake_case names (`element_type`, `atom_array`) instead of CML wire
+names (`elementType`, `atomArray`).
+
+## Solution
+
+Each `Base::*` module now has an explicit `key_value do ... end`
+block written by hand, mirroring its `xml do ... end` block. The
+two blocks are kept in sync manually — no runtime introspection,
+no DSL, no generation.
+
+This is more verbose than the auto-generation approach
+(`Base::WireMappings.auto_key_value_mapping!`) that was tried and
+reverted. The user explicitly preferred manual blocks for clarity
+and explicitness over DRY.
+
+## Work done
+
+1. Generated initial `key_value do ... end` blocks from each
+   `Schema3::*` and `Schema24::*` wire class's XML mappings via a
+   one-shot script that introspected the loaded classes.
+2. Inserted each block into the corresponding `Base::*` file right

+3. Removed `Base::WireMappings` module and all

+4. Verified JSON output carries CML wire names (`elementType`,

+5. Verified YAML also carries wire names.
+6. All 422 specs pass.

+## Acceptance

+# 76 — Schema24 parse bug: ROOT CAUSE FOUND AND FIXED
+
+## Status: FIXED
+
+## Root cause
+
+The Schema24 nested-XML parse bug had nothing to do with
+lutaml-model internals. The root cause was a **type-name collision**
+in the Schema24 context registry.
+
+Schema 2.4 declares legacy elements `<string>`, `<integer>`,
+`<float>` that share their XML names with lutaml-model primitive
+type names (`:string`, `:integer`, `:float`). The Schema24
+Configuration registered these CML element classes as types in the
+Schema24 context — shadowing the primitives.
+
+Every `attribute :foo, :string` cast in a Schema24 wire class then
+resolved `:string` to `Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::String` (the CML
+element class, a `Lutaml::Model::Serializable`) instead of
+`Lutaml::Model::Type::String` (the primitive, which just casts to
+Ruby String). The Serializable.cast path on a String value tried to
+deserialize it as a CML `<string>` element, which failed.
+
+Schema3 was unaffected because Schema 3's XSD doesn't declare
+`<string>`, `<integer>`, `<float>` elements.
+
+## Fix
+
+`lib/chemicalml/cml/elements.rb` adds a new constant:
+
+```ruby
+SCHEMA24_TYPE_COLLISIONS = %i[Float Integer String].freeze
+```
+
+`lib/chemicalml/cml/schema24/configuration.rb#register_models!` now
+passes this list as `except:` when registering SCHEMA24_ONLY:
+
+```ruby
+register_elements!(
+  only: true,
+  except: Chemicalml::Cml::Elements::SCHEMA24_TYPE_COLLISIONS
+)
+```
+
+The CML `<string>`, `<integer>`, `<float>` wire classes remain
+defined and parseable as document roots (via VersionedParser), but
+they are no longer registered as types — so `:string` attribute
+casts resolve correctly to the primitive.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `Chemicalml::Cml::Schema24::Document.from_xml` now parses nested
+  content correctly.
+- `spec/chemicalml/cml/schema24_nested_parse_spec.rb` has 3 passing
+  tests including one with parallel-array atomArray.
+- Full suite: 422 examples, 0 failures (previously 2 pending — both
+  now pass).
