+## Current Limitations
+
+⚠️ Benchmark numbers are under active re-measurement after a validator-accuracy
+fix — historical 78.0%/95.9%/81.8%(ChEMBL) figures elsewhere in this repo predate
+that fix and are invalidated. RENKIN does not predict yields, calibrated
+experimental success probabilities, or side reactions, and does not search
+the literature automatically (`success_probability` is a template-frequency
+search-ranking score, not a calibrated prediction — see
+[Benchmark](https://kent-tokyo.github.io/renkin/benchmark/) for the current
+corrected numbers, full methodology, and known limitations).
+
+---
+
+## Why RENKIN?
+
+RENKIN is designed as a Rust-native synthesis planning stack:
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| **Fast** | A\* / AND-OR tree search with beam search and template frequency weighting |
+| **Portable** | Native CLI · Python wheels · npm/WASM · browser playground — one codebase |
+| **Explainable** | Per-step `confidence`, `atom_economy`, `route_cost`, and `procedure_hint` |
+| **Verifiable** | `renkin-forward` validates each retrosynthetic step by forward-applying templates |
+| **Benchmarkable** | USPTO-50k, PaRoutes-style evaluation, route diversity, and atom balance checks |
+| **Agent-ready** | MCP server exposes routes and validation to Claude Desktop and AI agents |
+
+---
+
+## Constraint-based Search
+
+Restrict routes by the element composition of their building blocks.
+
+**Default search** — all 5 routes for biphenyl:
+
+```bash
+renkin --target "c1ccc(-c2ccccc2)cc1" --templates data/templates_extracted_5000.smi --format tree
+```
+
+```text
+Routes found: 5
+Route 1  [score=1.00, depth=1]  c1ccccc1Br + c1c(B(O)O)cccc1
+Route 2  [score=1.03, depth=1]  c1ccccc1Br + c1c(B(O)O)cccc1
+Route 3  [score=1.06, depth=1]  c1cc(Cl)ccc1 + c1c(B(O)O)cccc1
+Route 4  [score=1.08, depth=1]  c1(I)ccccc1  + c1c(B(O)O)cccc1
+Route 5  [score=1.08, depth=1]  c1ccccc1Br  + c1(B2OC(C(C)(C)O2)(C)C)ccccc1
+```
+
+**Constrained search** — boronic-acid coupling, no Br or I starting materials:
+
+```bash
+renkin --target "c1ccc(-c2ccccc2)cc1" --templates data/templates_extracted_5000.smi \
+    --require-elements "B" --avoid-elements "Br,I" --format tree
 ```
 
+```text
+Routes found: 1
+
+Route 1  [score=1.06, depth=1]
+c1ccccc1-c2ccccc2
+└── [extracted_398]
+    ├── c1cc(Cl)ccc1  ✓ BB
+    └── c1c(B(O)O)cccc1  ✓ BB
+```
+
+Constraints compose freely and are enforced in two layers:
+- `--avoid-elements` **prunes expansions during search** when a BB precursor contains a forbidden element (no dead-end nodes added to the heap).
+- A final route-level post-filter is still applied for correctness.
+- `--require-elements` is a route-level post-filter only.
+
+Add `--verbose` to print search statistics (nodes expanded, elapsed time) to stderr. Performance counters are available in native builds only; disabled in WASM.
+
+---
+
+## Template Evidence Metadata
+
+Extracted templates only have a positional display name (`extracted_{i}`) that
+changes whenever the source `.smi` file is reordered or re-extracted, so
+external knowledge (a DOI, a reported yield, a known side reaction) can't be
+durably attached to one. Every template — hand-crafted and extracted — now
+has a stable `template_id` instead:
+
+- Hand-crafted rules: `rule:<rule_name>` (e.g. `rule:suzuki_retro`).
+- Extracted templates: `smirks-sha256:<hex>` — the SHA-256 hex digest of the
+  *trimmed* SMIRKS string. Independent of file position, load order, and
+  count; purely syntactic (no SMIRKS canonicalization — a semantically
+  equivalent SMIRKS written differently gets a different ID).
+
+Run `renkin template ids <file.smi>` to list every template's `template_id`,
+display name, SMIRKS, and weight (TSV by default, `--format json` for JSON) —
+use this to look up the IDs you need when authoring a sidecar file.
+
+Attach curated evidence with `--template-metadata sidecar.json` (also
+available in Python as `find_routes(..., template_metadata_path=...)`),
+keyed by `template_id`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": 1,
+  "templates": {
+    "smirks-sha256:ef8778a2888469d619c52cce7e74f6848e101049050dd1b765b78f32e3c94498": {
+      "references": [
+        { "id": "ref-1", "kind": "doi", "identifier": "10.xxxx/example" }
+      ],
+      "condition_candidates": [
+        {
+          "catalysts": ["Pd(PPh3)4"],
+          "bases": ["K2CO3"],
+          "solvents": ["EtOH", "water"],
+          "temperature_c": { "min": 75.0, "max": 85.0 },
+          "source": "literature",
+          "scope": "template",
+          "reference_ids": ["ref-1"]
+        }
+      ],
+      "reported_yields": [
+        {
+          "percentage": { "min": 72.0, "max": 81.0 },
+          "basis": "isolated",
+          "source": "literature",
+          "scope": "template",
+          "reference_ids": ["ref-1"]
+        }
+      ],
+      "warnings": [
+        {
+          "code": "possible_protodeboronation",
+          "severity": "medium",
+          "message": "Protodeboronation has been reported under prolonged aqueous heating.",
+          "source": "literature",
+          "scope": "template",
+          "reference_ids": ["ref-1"]
+        }
+      ]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+A matching step gets an `evidence` field with `condition_candidates`,
+`reported_yields`, `references`, and `warnings`; steps whose template has no
+sidecar entry get no `evidence` key at all. The sidecar is loaded and
+validated (schema version, duplicate/dangling reference IDs, yield range,
+range `min <= max`, non-empty DOI/patent identifiers) **before search
+starts** — malformed metadata is a hard error, and a `template_id` in the
+sidecar that matches no loaded rule prints a warning rather than failing
+silently.
+
+**What this is not:**
+- `reported_yields` is a curated record of what was reported externally —
+  **not a RENKIN prediction**. `step_confidence`/`success_probability` are
+  unaffected and keep meaning template-frequency-derived search-ranking
+  scores, not experimental success rates.
+- `warnings` reflects only what's explicitly present in the sidecar you
+  supply — **not** automatic side-reaction detection.
+- Templates without a matching sidecar entry get no fabricated evidence.
+  Nothing is invented for missing data.
+
+Yield/success prediction and automatic literature search are explicitly out
+of scope for this phase — tracked as future work in
+[#41](https://github.com/kent-tokyo/renkin/issues/41).

 ## Key Features
 
 | Feature | Detail |
 |---|---|
-| **Pure Rust** | Zero C/C++ dependencies — cross-platform with `cargo build` alone |
-| **A\* / AND-OR Tree Search** | Retro\*-equivalent algorithm, proven more efficient than MCTS |
-| **SA Score heuristic** | Admissible h = Σ(1 + 0.5·(sa−1)/9) guides toward accessible precursors |
-| **Beam search** | `--beam-width N` for memory-bounded exploration |
-| **314 reaction rules** | 31 hand-crafted + 283 auto-extracted from USPTO-50k via rdchiral |
-| **Auto template extraction** | `scripts/extract_templates.py` — rdchiral + chematic-compatible simplification |
-| **Graph-based biaryl cleavage** | Bridge-bond DFS for correct Suzuki disconnection |
+| **Pure Safe Rust** | `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` on all crates — compiler-enforced, zero C/C++ dependencies |
+| **A\* / AND-OR Tree Search** | Retro\*-equivalent algorithm with pluggable heuristics (`MoleculeValueEstimator`, `ReactionPrior`) |
+| **Up to 50k reaction templates** | Auto-extracted from USPTO-50k/MIT via rdchiral; frequency-weighted priority; `--templates` for custom sets |
+| **Route scoring** | `confidence`, `step_confidence`, `success_probability` (Retro-prob style), `convergency`, `atom_economy` per step — see caveat below the table |
+| **Step metadata provenance** | Each step reports `metadata_source`/`metadata_scope` (e.g. `handcrafted_default`/`reaction_family`) so it's machine-readable whether `conditions`/`reaction_family` came from a rule-author default vs. something more grounded; absent for extracted templates, since nothing is fabricated for them. |
+| **Stable template IDs + evidence sidecar** | Every template gets a stable `template_id` — `rule:<name>` for hand-crafted rules, `smirks-sha256:<hex>` for extracted templates (independent of file order/position/count). Attach curated DOIs/patents, reported conditions, reported yields, and known side-reaction warnings via a `--template-metadata sidecar.json` file keyed by `template_id`; matching steps get an `evidence` field, everything else stays untouched — see [Template evidence metadata](#template-evidence-metadata) below. Run `renkin template ids <file.smi>` to list stable IDs for authoring a sidecar. Automatic yield/success prediction and literature search remain out of scope ([#41](https://github.com/kent-tokyo/renkin/issues/41)). |
+| **Route cost scoring** | `route_cost = Σ(BB cost) + steps×0.5`; actual prices via `--bb-prices CSV` or `--stock stock.csv` |
+| **Pareto multi-objective search** | `--format pareto` returns a Pareto front across `route_cost`, `success_probability`, `steps`, etc.; objectives configurable via `--objectives cost:min,success_probability:max,steps:min` |
+| **Constraint DSL** | `--constraints constraints.json` — JSON-driven synthesis planning: element filters, step limits, confidence thresholds, preferred reaction families; enables LLM → RENKIN pipeline |
+| **Output formats** | `--format json` · `tree` · `mermaid` · `explain` (human-readable per-route analysis) · `compare` (side-by-side table) · `compare-json` · `pareto` |
+| **Failure diagnostics** | Zero-route JSON output includes `diagnostics` block with `likely_causes` and `suggestions` |
+| **Forward validation** | `renkin-forward validate` verifies each step by applying templates forward; accepts `--route-json` or stdin |
+| **Plausibility report** | `renkin-bench --plausibility` — forward-validates best routes and reports composite plausibility score |
+| **PaRoutes benchmark** | `renkin-bench --input-format paroutes` for multi-step ground-truth evaluation with `depth_delta` and `route_diversity` |
+| **Atom balance check** | `renkin-bench` flags steps where `target_MW > Σ precursor_MW` (CompleteRXN reference) |
+| **Stock CSV management** | `renkin stock stats\|validate\|coverage` — inspect and validate stock CSV files with SMILES, name, vendor, price, hazard fields |
+| **Template quality tools** | `renkin template stats\|validate\|dedup\|explain\|coverage\|ids` — inspect SMIRKS template sets: frequency distribution, validity, duplicates, per-template lookup, coverage rate, stable template IDs |
+| **MCP server** | `renkin-mcp` exposes 6 tools: `find_routes`, `validate_route`, `explain_route`, `find_pareto_routes`, `plan_with_constraints`, `estimate_diversity` |
+| **`renkin-doctor`** | Environment diagnostic binary — checks templates, building blocks, Python import, tool versions, and data integrity |
+| **`renkin-kg`** | Reaction knowledge graph builder — constructs bipartite mol↔reaction graphs from routes; exports to GraphML or Cypher |
+| **Beam search** | `--beam-width N` for memory-bounded exploration; `SmallVec<[FEntry; 6]>` stack-allocated frontier |
 | **Parallel rule application** | `rayon` on non-WASM; sequential fallback on wasm32 |
+| **tract-onnx NN scorer** | Pure Rust ONNX inference (no C++ dep) — optional `--scorer` flag for Phase B template relevance scoring |
+| **`building_blocks` in JSON** | Each route includes the leaf starting-material SMILES — no manual step parsing needed |
+| **Tetrahedral stereo @/@@** | Full stereochemistry support via chematic 0.4.16 |
 | **Python** | `pip install renkin` — pre-built wheels for Linux/macOS/Windows |
 | **WASM** | ~500 KB bundle — runs in the browser at near-native speed |
-| **463 building blocks** | Aryl halides, boronic acids, heterocycles, amines, acids, amino acids |
+| **402 building blocks** | Aryl halides, boronic acids, heterocycles, amines, acids, amino acids (`data/building_blocks.smi`, unique compounds actually loaded — see Benchmark section) |
+
+> **`step_confidence`/`success_probability` are not yields or measured success rates.**
+> They're template-frequency-derived search-ranking scores (`rule_weight / max_rule_weight`,
+> multiplied across a route's steps) used to order candidate disconnections during search —
+> not a calibrated probability of experimental success, and not an expected isolated yield.
+> Route-level experimental yield/success-rate reporting is not implemented.

+*Note: LocalRetro (53.4%) and GLG (58.0%) report single-step top-1 prediction accuracy — a different metric, not directly comparable.*
+
+> **Benchmark scope note**: USPTO-50k is used here as a *standardized sanity benchmark*, not as proof of broad real-world synthesis performance. The corpus covers a narrow slice of reaction space (primarily C–C and C–N bond formations common in pharmaceutical synthesis), and reaction types with sparse USPTO representation are systematically underserved. Out-of-distribution performance on ChEMBL approved drugs (**81.8%**, 409/500, pre-fix, not re-measured) suggested the rule set generalizes beyond the test corpus, but neither historical number should be interpreted as a guarantee of route quality on arbitrary targets.
+
+### PaRoutes compatibility
+
+RENKIN is compatible with the [PaRoutes](https://github.com/AstraZeneca/PaRoutes) multi-step benchmark. Download their stock compounds and target molecules, then pass them directly:
+
+```bash
+renkin-bench \
+  --input paroutes_n1_targets.smi \
+  --building-blocks paroutes_stock.smi \
+  --templates data/templates_extracted_5000.smi \
+  --depth 5 --beam-width 100
+```
+
+The JSON output includes `avg_nodes_expanded`, `avg_confidence`, `avg_convergency`, and `avg_success_prob` (Retro-prob style) alongside the standard solved/success_rate metrics.

 ## Competitive Landscape
 
+⚠️ RENKIN's row below uses the corrected `raw_solved_rate` (20.09%, see notice near the top of this README) — the 95.9% cascade figure some earlier versions of this table cited is invalidated and not re-measured; it is not included here.

+`raw_solved_rate` is the closest available RENKIN metric to the published route-finding success rates of the other planners above, but the figures are not directly comparable — stock size, template library, target set, search budget, and route-quality checks all differ across systems, and this table does not establish RENKIN as better or worse than the alternatives.
+
+**RENKIN's goal**: match state-of-the-art accuracy using only curated rules and auto-extracted SMIRKS templates — no GPU, no training data, no black boxes. Under RENKIN's benchmark setting (corrected baseline, commit `e20dc8c`, 2026-07-22), it reaches **20.09%** `raw_solved_rate` (986/4,907) single-pass — see the Benchmark section above for the full nested-metric series and why the stricter `provenance_validated_solved_rate` (0.88%) is not RENKIN's measured or bounded correctness rate. RENKIN runs anywhere: browser, CLI, Python — single `cargo build`.
 
-**RENKIN's goal**: match or exceed neural-network-based tools using only curated rules and auto-extracted SMIRKS templates — no GPU, no training data, no black boxes. At 47.2% USPTO-50k (surpassing ASKCOS and reaching AiZynthFinder's lower bound), RENKIN demonstrates that a transparent, rule-based engine in pure Rust can compete with deep-learning approaches. And it runs anywhere: browser, CLI, Python — single `cargo build`.

+
+## MCP Server
+
+`renkin-mcp` exposes retrosynthesis as an MCP tool so AI agents (Claude, etc.) can call it directly.
+
+**Setup** — add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "renkin": { "command": "/path/to/renkin-mcp" }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Tools** (6):
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `find_routes` | Retrosynthesis: SMILES → routes with scoring |
+| `validate_route` | Forward-validate a retrosynthetic route |
+| `explain_route` | Human-readable strengths/weaknesses per route |
+| `find_pareto_routes` | Pareto-front multi-objective route search |
+| `plan_with_constraints` | Constraint-DSL planning (element filters, step limits, confidence thresholds) |
+| `estimate_diversity` | Route diversity and coverage metrics |
+
+The server auto-detects `data/building_blocks.smi` and `data/templates_extracted_5000.smi` in the working directory. Falls back to the embedded `DEFAULT_BUILDING_BLOCKS` / `default_rules()` defaults if not found (152 unique building blocks per `ChemEnv::bb_count()`, 28 handcrafted rules — verified 2026-07-22; a "509-BB / 20-rule" figure was previously documented here without verification).
+
+```bash
+cargo build --release
+# binary: target/release/renkin-mcp
