+- ANNOTATIONS must name a slot a Biolink association can actually hold, or a Study metadata
+  property. Study-level metadata rides the edge's inlined supporting Study, never the edge
+  itself: `sample_size` / `supporting_study_size` and other study-size-like headers coerce
+  to `study_size`, and `supporting_study_cohort` / `supporting_study_context` /
+  `supporting_study_date_range` / `supporting_study_method_description` /
+  `supporting_study_method_types` coerce to the matching `study_*` Study properties
+  (biolink-model 4.4.4 replaced the deprecated `supporting_study_*` association slots with
+  Study node properties). Statistical aliases coerce onto real edge slots: `beta` /
+  `odds ratio` / correlation coefficients -> `effect_size` (declare the matching
+  `effect_type`), `q value` / `padj` -> `adjusted_p_value`. Names nothing claims
+  (`fold_change` alone, `z_score`, `lfsr`, `standard_error`, free-form notes) are folded
+  into `supporting_text`. Prefer `p_value`, `adjusted_p_value`, `effect_size`,
+  `effect_type`, `has_evidence`. For FDA application numbers, `approval_ids` is a deliberate
+  translator-ingest pass-through: keep the pipe-joined value as a scalar and do not add
+  `split_by`.
 - MULTIVALUED slots (`has_evidence` and friends) take a real JSON array, never a joined string:
   `split_by` is the ONLY multivalued encoding — there is no literal-list method. INSPECT the
   column's cells first (read_table shows them); the separator they ACTUALLY use — `|`, `,`, or
   `;` — is the one you declare: `{method: column, encoding: <letter>, split_by: "<separator>"}`.
   A SINGLE-value cell gets NO `split_by`: its scalar wraps into a one-element array, the correct
   shape. Cells that DO join multiple values but OMIT `split_by` ship as one unusable joined blob.
-- `effect_size` / `effect_type` are deliberate Tablassert extras pending biolink-model#1774;
-  `approval_ids` is a deliberate translator-ingest pass-through extra. All three are EXEMPT from
-  the validity score: a `biolink_valid_pct` below 1.0 is never caused by these intentional fields.
+- `approval_ids` is a deliberate translator-ingest pass-through extra, EXEMPT from the
+  validity score: a `biolink_valid_pct` below 1.0 is never caused by it. (`effect_size` /
+  `effect_type` were exempt only until biolink-model 4.4.4 shipped them as real Association
+  slots; they now validate like any other slot.)
 - QUALIFIERS: enum-ranged qualifiers take a literal TOKEN, never a CURIE
   (`object_direction_qualifier: increased`, not a UMLS id), and `species_context_qualifier` is
   disabled — never author it as a qualifier or annotation.
 
-## ReAct workflow + planning
-Reason in an explicit ReAct loop (Thought -> Action -> Observation) and re-plan every few steps:
-1. read_table(path) to inspect the data-fenced table (columns, sample values, headers).
-2. derive_config(config_yaml) to author your first candidate table config (template + one section
-   per table/worksheet) from what you saw.
-3. build_and_audit(config_yaml) to validate + build + score it in ONE call (coverage_pct,
+# DERIVATION GUIDANCE (breadth first: map every mappable sheet, capture every evidence slot)
+- HEADERS + row_slice: inspect the first rows BEFORE authoring the source: titles/captions often
+  precede the header (headers usually sit within rows 1-3; data starts the row AFTER the header).
+  Declare `row_slice: [<first data row>, auto]` and the EXACT sheet name read_table reports; omit
+  row_slice only when row 1 already is the header.
+- explode_by: a subject/object cell joining MULTIPLE entities (common separators: `;`, `|`, `,`,
+  `/`) must declare `explode_by: "<separator>"` so EACH entity emits its own edge; without it the
+  joined string maps as ONE unusable blob and the table under-extracts.
+- prioritize: name EVERY plausible biolink Category for the column in priority order, best first
+  (`prioritize: [Gene, ChemicalEntity]`), never a single guess; `avoid` only what you positively
+  know is wrong.
+- STATISTICS: capture p-value columns (`p_value` / `adjusted_p_value`). When every row shares one
+  statistic, emit the PAIR: `{annotation: effect_size, method: column, encoding: <letter>}` +
+  `{annotation: effect_type, method: value, encoding: <statistic>}` — use a valid Biolink
+  effect-type token; invalid values become null. An unpaired half is dropped with a warning while
+  the edge is kept, so always emit both halves together.
+- ONE SECTION PER MAPPABLE SHEET/WORKSHEET: every mappable sheet earns its own section; skipping
+  one silently under-extracts the article's graph.
+
+## Fast ReAct workflow (target: finish in 4 steps or fewer)
+Reason briefly between actions (ReAct), but do NOT re-derive information you already have: the task
+ALREADY CONTAINS the article summary and head previews of EVERY candidate table/worksheet.
+1. derive_config(config_yaml) — author your first candidate table config directly from the task
+   previews (template + one section per mappable table/worksheet).
+2. build_and_audit(config_yaml) to validate + build + score it in ONE call (coverage_pct,
    qc_pass_rate, errors, unresolved terms).
-4. while coverage_pct < target threshold:
+3. Only while coverage_pct < target threshold (at most TWO improve rounds):
      a. propose_config_edit(config_yaml, coverage_report) for a targeted, schema-valid edit;
      b. rebuild with build_and_audit;
      c. ACCEPT the new config IFF it is STRICTLY better (higher coverage, no new errors);
-        otherwise keep the previous best.
-5. final_answer(best_config_yaml) once coverage is maximized and the build is clean.
-Write a short plan at the start and refresh it every ~3 steps or whenever an observation
-surprises you.
