Subject: [PATCH 001/104] Add reaction progression and detector stubs

Introduces scaffold code for upcoming reaction workflow features: a new `ReactionProgression` processor module with a configurable `MAX_LOOP` constant and placeholder `reaction_progression` method, plus an `index_based_functional_groups_detector` placeholder in `FunctionalGroupsDetector`. These changes establish integration points without altering current behavior yet.

Subject: [PATCH 002/104] Add PoolSpecies model and mol population helper

Introduce a new `species_pool.py` module with a `PoolSpecies` dataclass to represent reaction pool entries, including monomer flags, SMILES, RDKit molecule objects, and template atom indices. Add `_populate_mols(pool)` to build RDKit molecules from monomer SMILES and initialize `template_idxes` from atom indices, centralizing species preparation logic for downstream reaction processing.

Subject: [PATCH 016/104] Refactor prepare_reactions.py code style

Clean up whitespace, trailing spaces, and newlines throughout the file. Reorganize section comments for better clarity (e.g., rename '--- PUBLIC ---' and '--- PIPELINE STEPS (PRIVATE) ---' to more descriptive headers). Reorder `_detect_duplicates` and `_flatten_fg_indexes` methods. Add missing newline at end of file.

Subject: [PATCH 017/104] Fix product idx remapping for multi-fragment products

Refactors _get_product_index into _get_product_idxs, which now also returns the (possibly trimmed) product molecule. When a reaction produces multiple disconnected fragments, only the largest heavy-atom fragment is kept and product atom indices are remapped accordingly. Also fixes _clean_product to operate on a copy so the original molecule is not mutated, and updates _get_product_smiles to use the cleaned copy. Adds a glycine test example JSON.

Subject: [PATCH 020/104] Add RDKit reaction dedup across progression

Reworks deduplication to compare coupled pre/post graphs using normalized atom/bond labels, adds separate LAMMPS and RDKit comparison caches, and introduces RDKit molecule graph conversion for in-memory reaction metadata. Reaction progression now accumulates reactions across iterations, disables duplicates via dedup checks, skips inactive reactions downstream, and uses a session-level monotonic reaction ID counter so generated reaction CSV IDs remain globally unique across loop passes. Also updates LUNAR config to a concrete local root path and refreshes notebook debug output.

Subject: [PATCH 022/104] Refactor reaction_progression for clarity

Clean up imports, variable names, docstrings, and formatting throughout reaction_progression.py. Replace debug prints with informative log messages, improve inline comments, and apply consistent style (trailing newline, line-length wrapping).

Subject: [PATCH 023/104] Refactor reaction progression logic

- Move MAX_LOOP constant below imports for clarity
- Add MolSanitizeException import and improve sanitization error logging
- Instantiate DeduplicationDetector once in __init__ instead of per-loop
- Initialize all_prepared_reactions from session state to support resumption
- Rename _set_is_monomer_flag to _set_is_looped_flag with proper scoping
- Rename _length_of_active_reactions to _count_active_reactions with explicit parameter
- Add _store_reactions helper to reduce duplication
- Sync session.monomer_roles and session.reaction_metadata incrementally
- Fix loop break condition to use pre-iteration pool size
- Condense docstrings throughout

Subject: [PATCH 024/104] Refine reaction progression loop state handling

Updates the progression loop to track reactions through a single `all_prepared_reactions` list, keep `session.reaction_metadata` synchronized before and after deduplication, and base loop-break checks on the updated pool. It also simplifies list initialization typing, rewrites the method docstring for clarity, adds per-iteration reaction count logging, and replaces early return with a clean loop break followed by a single final return.

Subject: [PATCH 025/104] Add uncoupled pair-based duplicate detection

Introduces is_duplicate_pair() for topology-only comparison of (reactant, product) graph pairs without coupling them into a single graph or requiring cross-phase atom mapping. Updates compare_graphs_mol() to use this simpler approach and adds index_source parameter supporting 'template' or 'first_shell' atom-index selection. Also clears the new seen_reaction_pairs cache in reset_seen_reactions().

+        # NEW METHOD
+        Simple, uncoupled duplicate check for a (reactant graph, product graph)
+        pair.
+
+        Unlike is_duplicate, this does NOT combine the two graphs into one
+        coupled graph and does NOT require a single consistent atom mapping
+        across both phases. It only checks graph topology and atom/bond
+        labels — no coordinates, no atom IDs, no bond IDs, no cross-phase
+        atom correspondence.
+
+        A pair is a duplicate only if BOTH:
+            - pre_graph is isomorphic to some cached pre_graph, AND
+            - post_graph is isomorphic to that SAME cached entry's post_graph.

Improve `DeduplicationDetector` clarity and consistency by tightening docstrings, reorganizing helper sections, and cleaning formatting. Functional updates include initializing pair caches for both comparison groups, clearing the RDKit pair cache at the start of each `compare_graphs_mol` pass, and extracting index-source mapping logic into a dedicated helper for clearer validation and error messages.

Subject: [PATCH 031/104] Raise error when no reactions are active

Add a dedicated `ZeroActiveReactionsError` in reaction preparation and fail after building reaction metadata when none of the reactions include activity stats. This makes empty or invalid datasets surface as an explicit AutoREACTER error instead of continuing silently.

Subject: [PATCH 032/104] Refine reaction progression loop

Clarify `ReactionProgression.progress_reaction_process` with a more focused docstring and explicit typing for the working reaction lists. The loop now counts active reactions from the current session state, deduplicates in-place without extra logging, and returns through `_store_reactions(...)` as soon as the break condition is met so the final reaction set is persisted consistently.

Subject: [PATCH 033/104] Fix progression deduplication handling
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Update reaction progression to keep the session’s final deduplicated reaction list instead of extending it with newly generated reactions. Deduplication now clears the full comparison cache per pass, drops repeated references to the same ReactionMetadata object without disabling it, and compares relabeled product graphs in reactant index space. The change also refreshes inline documentation around progression flow and product handling.

Reaction progression now sanitizes product molecules before reuse, skips failed sanitizations with a clear message, and uses the sanitized molecule for both SMILES extraction and downstream functional-group detection. Also fixes a missing docstring delimiter in `functional_groups_detector.py`.

Subject: [PATCH 046/104] Fix vinyl polymerization SMARTS and radical handling
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Overhaul vinyl addition polymerization detection and reaction logic:

- Rename `vinyl_chain_radical_monomer` → `vinyl_chain_end_radical` with a corrected SMARTS that matches secondary carbon radicals without false-positives on unreacted monomers
- Fix initiation and propagation reaction SMARTS/atom maps to correctly track radical chain ends
- Add reverse-order retry when RDKit RunReactants fails
- Rewrite `_sanitize_molecule` to patch radical electrons on newly formed chain ends and strip them from saturated carbons post-reaction
- Add `_fix_radical_and_sanitize` helper for under-valent radical carbon recovery
- Clear RDKit ghost atom properties (`old_mapno`, `react_atom_idx`) in `_clean_product` to prevent stale atom tracking
- Add debug print statements for molecule inspection and substructure matching

Subject: [PATCH 050/104] Make RDKit deduplication radical-aware

Update reaction graph comparison to include radical state in RDKit atom labels and attach a full-molecule radical signature to coupled graphs before isomorphism checks. This prevents false duplicate matches when restricted templates miss radical centers, and adds robust radical detection/counting logic for unsanitized RunReactants products.

Subject: [PATCH 051/104] Track radical atoms before reaction dedup

Adds radical metadata to `ReactionMetadata` (`is_radical` and `radical_atom_idxs`) and populates it by sanitizing product molecules before NetworkX deduplication. Radical atom indices are mapped from product space into reactant-index space so identity survives relabeling/comparison. The in-loop debug print block was replaced with structured metadata assignment and explicit non-radical defaults when sanitization or product data is unavailable.

Subject: [PATCH 052/104] Add loop controls for reaction progression

This change introduces input-level loop configuration so users can disable progression entirely or provide a positive integer to cap loop iterations. The parser now validates `loop` and stores `loop`/`max_loop_count` in `SimulationSetup`, and reaction preparation conditionally runs progression based on that flag while still enforcing zero-active-reaction checks. The styrene example was also updated (name and monomer count) to reflect current test usage.

Subject: [PATCH 053/104] Refine loop parsing and trim debug output

Updated input loop validation to explicitly handle booleans, positive integers, and supported loop keywords with clearer error messaging. Integer loop values now announce the max iteration setting before execution. Reaction progression now shows the warning ASCII banner at initialization, and several ad-hoc debug prints were removed from functional group and reaction progression paths to reduce noisy console output. The ethene example input was also refreshed to use the new simulation name and a fixed loop count.

Subject: [PATCH 054/104] Fix vinyl radical type and expand parser tests

Updates `vinyl_chain_end_radical` in the functional group library to use `functionality_type: "vinyl"` instead of `"mono"`, aligning classification with its intended chemistry and downstream handling. Also replaces `tests/test_input_parser.py` with a comprehensive test suite covering format/schema checks, counts vs ratio mode detection, numeric and force-field validation, SMILES canonicalization and duplicate handling, monomer/simulation normalization, loop settings, end-to-end `validate_inputs` behavior, and molecule representation integration points.

Subject: [PATCH 060/104] Add registries for groups and reactions

Introduces new registry modules for functional groups and reaction libraries that aggregate all submodules into single dictionaries, validate duplicates, and keep backward-compatible wrapper classes (`FunctionalGroupsLibrary` and `ReactionLibrary`). Also cleans up `epoxy_polymers.py` structure/formatting so the REACTIONS mapping is consistently closed.

Subject: [PATCH 063/104] Add mixed AB groups and polymer reaction libraries

Introduces a new `mixed_ab_groups` functional-group library with hydroxy/carboxylic, hydroxy/acid-halide, amino-acid, acid/acid-halide, and hydroxy/thiol monomer patterns. Adds new polymer reaction library modules for cycloaddition, metathesis, phenolic resins, and polyanhydrides; the polyanhydride pathways are defined as active reactions, while the others are scaffolded as commented UNTESTED templates for future implementation.

Subject: [PATCH 067/104] Fix phosgene SMARTS to prevent partial matches

Changed phosgene_monomer from di_identical to mono functionality type and updated the SMARTS pattern to strictly require both chlorines on the carbonyl carbon, preventing false matches with standard acid chlorides.

Subject: [PATCH 070/104] Disable untested halide and polysulfide entries

Comments out halide functional-group registration and polysulfide reaction registration so untested chemistry is not loaded by default. Adds a new `polysulfides.py` scaffold with the planned reaction definition kept fully commented for future activation once validated.

 ## Supported Reactions
 
-AutoREACTER is currently in **v0.2.2-beta**. At this stage of development, the reaction library is limited to selected step-growth polymerization reactions, including **polycondensation**, **transesterification**, and **polyaddition** reactions.
+AutoREACTER is currently in **v{{ autoreacter_version }}**. At this stage of development, the reaction library supports a broad range of step-growth and chain-growth polymerization reactions, including **polycondensation**, **transesterification**, **polyaddition**, **hydrolysis initiation**, and **addition polymerization**.
 
 The core `Detector` module automatically identifies the following functional groups and maps them to their respective reaction pathways.
 
 **Important:** If your `input.json` contains monomers with functional groups outside of this list, AutoREACTER will classify them as *non-reactive molecules* (which you can choose to retain as solvents/additives or discard).
 
-**NOTE:** Certain force fields do not support all atom types; for example, iodine ``(I)`` is sometimes unsupported.

+## [0.3] - [2026-08-xx]
+### Added
+
+* **Reaction Progression:** Multi-stage reaction template generation to handle multi stage reaction progressions, copolymerizations and small molecules which needs few templates for the polymerization reactions.
+* **Looping Control:** A new loop control parameter in the input file to prevent the explosion of unnecessary reactions. Defaults to `5` loops, but can be optimized by setting `loop: <int>` or disabled entirely with `loop: False`.
+* **Advanced Detection:** Index-based functional group detection and index-based reaction detection to accurately identify reacting atoms post-first reaction.
+* **Pathway Deduplication:** NetworkX-based deduplication detection to actively filter redundant reaction pathways.
+* **Reaction Libraries:** Robust library modules for various polymer chemistries, including Epoxies, Polyamides, Polyesters, Polycarbonates, Polysiloxanes, Polyureas, Polyurethanes, and Vinyl polymers.
+* **Force Field Parameters:** PCFF force field additions, specifically including new `s_m` sulfone parameters.
+
+### Changed
+
+* **Library Organization:** Centralized the reaction libraries into dedicated modules to improve maintainability and expandability.
+* **Structure Generation:** Improved 3D molecule embedding to better handle highly congested polymer structures.
+
+### Removed
+
+* **Legacy Code:** Removed legacy compatibility shims (`_compat.py`).
+
+### Fixed
+
+* Addressed various stability and progression issues tracked in recent bug reports.
+* Improved Error handling when no reaction instances are found for the specified monomer combinations.
+
 ## [0.2.3] - [2026-06-24]

Add registry-level validation for reaction SMARTS to ensure the reserved AutoREACTER initiator atom maps are present and bonded in products. Update polyanhydride and polysiloxane templates to use the reserved maps consistently and replace legacy comments with notes.
