Summary

  • Use a periodic SciPy cKDTree to bound candidate discovery for the default Open Babel path on safe axis-aligned orthorhombic cells with at least 2048 atoms.
  • Preserve Open Babel insertion and cleanup semantics, including skipping zero-valence elements before insertion; use the historical path for equal-z ordering, rounded upper-box coordinates, and unsupported or numerically ambiguous geometry.
  • Declare SciPy directly and add differential, fallback, and dispatch tests.
  • Add a fixed-seed 2048-atom benchmark through _getbondfromcrd, checking eligibility and molecule-record equivalence before timing. The existing three-atom detection benchmarks do not enter the accelerated branch.

Validation

  • Local source-snapshot detection suite: 38 existing tests passed; the new large-frame benchmark test passed separately.
  • Four 2048-atom cases through actual baseline/PR dispatch: matching molecule records for HHAr, equal-z PFFFFFH, rounded upper-boundary coordinates, and seeded mixed elements.
  • Ruff lint, format check, and git diff --check passed for the test-only follow-up.
  • Local diagnostics used Python 3.12.7 and Open Babel 3.1.0 with a shared existing native extension; CI provides the installed-package validation with Open Babel 3.2.1.
  • Latest tox run: 179 passed, 6 xfailed, 4 xpassed, including all 39 detection tests.
  • Latest benchmark run: 10 benchmarks collected, including the new large-frame case. The CodSpeed performance gate passed on 79c4862.

Bounded performance check

For a synthetic 2048-atom H/C/N/O frame in a 40 Å periodic cube (NumPy seed 2026), baseline and PR molecule records matched. Three interleaved measurements per implementation gave median times of 43.7 ms and 11.6 ms (about 3.77x). Individual times ranged from 41.7–62.1 ms and 11.4–21.2 ms. This is a small local smoke test, not a production-performance claim.

The CodSpeed report for 13190d7 flagged HMM/import/CLI regressions with explicit runtime-environment warnings. The preceding 38abeca run, which had identical production code, reported improvements in all nine benchmarks. Installed dependency versions matched, while hosted-runner regions differed. Fixed-input local base/head comparisons did not reproduce those regressions; this supports an environment-related explanation without establishing the exact cloud-side cause. The reported improvement on the existing three-atom test is not evidence for the new acceleration.

The latest test-only follow-up again passed the performance gate without changing the production algorithm. Runtime-environment warnings remain. The new large-frame case measured 18.7 ms in CI and has no historical baseline yet, so its CI result does not establish a speedup ratio.

The three original correctness review threads remain available for maintainer re-review. The latest CodeRabbit status says "Review rate limited" and is not a fresh completed review.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The detector adds a cKDTree-based path for periodic Open Babel bond detection in large orthorhombic systems. It adds Open Babel helpers, candidate-bond cleanup, fallback handling, SciPy as a dependency, and regression tests.

Changes

Periodic bond detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Open Babel molecule and bond helpers
pyproject.toml, reacnetgenerator/_detect.py
SciPy becomes a runtime dependency. Open Babel molecule construction and bond extraction move into private helper methods.
Periodic candidate generation and cleanup
reacnetgenerator/_detect.py
The accelerated path validates orthorhombic cells, finds periodic cKDTree candidates, applies distance and covalent-radius rules, and performs valence and angle cleanup.
Dispatch, fallback, and regression coverage
reacnetgenerator/_detect.py, tests/test_detect.py
Large supported periodic frames use the accelerated path. Unsupported cases and failed acceleration fall back to Open Babel. Tests cover dispatch, boundary handling, valence rules, non-periodic detection, and ASE precedence.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 38abe

Large periodic orthorhombic frames use accelerated bond candidate discovery while ambiguous geometries fall back to Open Babel; the boundary fallback behavior is covered and no current merge-blocking risk remains.

[P2] Skip zero-valence atoms before adding candidate bonds

For large frames containing noble gases, this inserts bonds that ConnectTheDots excludes upfront because GetMaxBonds() is zero. Removing them during cleanup is too late: they can already cause valid bonds to be deleted. With H atoms at z=0 and 0.74 Å and Ar at z=-1.7 Å, padded to 2048 distant atoms, the reference preserves H₂ while the accelerated path separates both hydrogens. Exclude zero-valence elements before inserting candidates, and add this case as a differential regression test.

Suggested change
atom = mol.GetAtom(int(atom_index) + 1)
neighbor = mol.GetAtom(int(neighbor_index) + 1)
atom = mol.GetAtom(int(atom_index) + 1)
neighbor = mol.GetAtom(int(neighbor_index) + 1)
# ConnectTheDots excludes zero-valence elements before cleanup.

openbabel.GetMaxBonds(atom.GetAtomicNum()) == 0
or openbabel.GetMaxBonds(neighbor.GetAtomicNum()) == 0
):

Fixed in 13190d7. Zero-valence atoms are now skipped before adding candidate bonds. The 2048-atom HHAr regression matches Open Babel’s molecule records and confirms that the H–H bond is preserved.

[P2] Preserve reference bond insertion semantics for equal-z atoms

For large frames with equal-z atoms, stable sorting changes actual connectivity because Open Babel's insertion rules depend on bond order of arrival. With Open Babel 3.2.1, flattening the existing PFFFFFH fixture to equal z and padding it to 2048 isolated atoms preserves the P–H bond in the reference path but drops it here. The six-atom equal-z test misses the different large-array ordering of C++ std::sort. A conservative fix is to use the historical fallback whenever z values tie. Update the equal-z test to check fallback and add the 2048-atom case through _getbondfromcrd.

Suggested change
z_order = np.argsort(positions[:, 2], kind="stable")
# Open Babel compares only z and leaves equal-z ordering to the C++
# standard library. Use atom ID as a stable tie-breaker so rounded
# trajectory coordinates behave deterministically across platforms.
z_order = np.argsort(positions[:, 2], kind="stable")
# Open Babel's equal-z ordering can affect bond insertion and cleanup.
# Delegate ties to ConnectTheDots to preserve the backend's result.
sorted_z = positions[z_order, 2]
if np.any(sorted_z[1:] == sorted_z[:-1]):
return None

[P2] Handle coordinates rounded onto the upper box boundary

For a valid large periodic frame containing a tiny negative coordinate, such as x=-1e-16 Å in a 100 Å box, np.mod can round the wrapped coordinate to exactly the box length. cKDTree requires coordinates strictly below that length and raises ValueError, aborting detection instead of reaching the historical fallback. Return None before constructing the tree for these rounded boundary values, and add a regression test through _getbondfromcrd.

Suggested change
wrapped_positions = np.mod(positions, cell_lengths)
wrapped_positions = np.mod(positions, cell_lengths)
# Rounding can put tiny negative coordinates on the excluded upper edge.
if np.any(wrapped_positions >= cell_lengths):
return None

Fixed in 13190d7. Wrapped coordinates at the upper box boundary now trigger fallback before constructing the cKDTree. The regression uses a tiny negative coordinate in a 2048-atom frame, asserts the fallback condition, and checks that _getbondfromcrd matches Open Babel.

Reviewed the complete 3-file change and the existing review threads. The three previously raised correctness issues are addressed in the current head: zero-valence atoms are skipped before candidate insertion, equal-z large frames conservatively fall back to the historical Open Babel path, and modulo results rounded onto the excluded upper box boundary fall back before constructing the periodic cKDTree. I also cross-checked the candidate cutoff, minimum-distance, phosphorus insertion rule, max-valence/angle cleanup, and bond-order handoff against Open Babel's ConnectTheDots behavior; the accelerated path preserves those semantics for its supported domain and falls back for unsupported or numerically ambiguous geometries.

The final commit is test-only and adds a real 2048-atom dispatch benchmark after checking molecule-record equivalence. Exact-head Test and deploy, Benchmark, Type checker, CodeQL, Docker, PyPI build/upload, website, and JS workflows all pass. I did not find another high-confidence functional, scientific, compatibility, packaging, or test-coverage blocker.
