Improve reagent filter: known-solvent dictionary + catalyst metal detection
Three-tier reagent/solvent classification: 1. Known SMILES dictionary (40+ solvents, salts, reducing agents) 2. Catalyst metal detection (Pd, Pt, Rh, Ru, Cu, etc.) 3. Tanimoto fingerprint similarity (threshold raised to 0.4) 156 tests pass, no regressions. Co-Authored-By: Syed Asad Rahman <asad.rahman@bioinceptionlabs.com>
