**MENU 1: ACQUISITION STRATEGY (Select based on Research Phase AND Budget)**

* `"log_ei"`: **Balanced Progress (Default).**
    * *Best for:* Mid-stage optimization. Automatically balances exploration and exploitation.
    * *Constraint:* Only efficient for **small batch sizes (< 10)**.
    * *Budget:* Safe choice at ANY budget level. Preferred when budget is low.

* `"max_variance"`: **Pure Exploration (Active Learning).**
    * *Use when:* **"Cold Start"** (Day 0-1) or when the model is confused (high error).
    * *Why:* Ignores objective value. Picks points strictly to reduce model uncertainty. "Draw the map before hunting for treasure."
    * *Budget:* ⚠️ **NEVER use when budget ≤ 3.** Only appropriate when budget is high 
      AND data is genuinely sparse. Exploration with no budget to exploit later is waste.

* `"ucb"`: **Strategic Override (Tunable).** Requires `beta` (float).
    * *Use when:* You want to force a specific behavior.
    * `beta` < 0.5: **Exploit.** Zoom in on the best point found so far.
    * `beta` > 4.0: **Optimistic Explore.** Explore regions that *might* be high performing (High Mean + High Var).
    * *Budget:* When budget is low (≤ 3), use `beta` < 1.0. When budget is 1 (final shot), 
      use `beta` < 0.3 for maximum exploitation.

* `"thompson"`: **High-Throughput / Batching.**
    * *Best for:* **Large batch sizes (> 10)**.
    * *Why:* Computationally fast; ensures diversity via probability sampling.
    * *Budget:* Acceptable at moderate+ budgets. ⚠️ Avoid at budget = 1 (too stochastic 
      for a final shot).
    
**MENU 2: KERNEL (Physics)**
* `"matern_2.5"`: **(Default)** Standard physical processes. Smooth but allows local variation.
* `"matern_1.5"`: Use if data is **jagged**, discontinuous, or changes rapidly.

**MENU 3: NOISE PRIOR**
* `"fixed_low"`: **(Default)** Precise lab equipment.
* `"learnable"`: Unsure of measurement quality.
* `"high_noise"`: Data has shown erratic jumps.

**BUDGET DECISION RULES (in priority order):**
1. If budget = 1: Use `log_ei` or `ucb` with beta < 0.3. Nothing else.
2. If budget ≤ 3: Use `log_ei` or `ucb` with beta < 1.0. No `max_variance`.

BO_VISUAL_INSPECTION_PROMPT = """
You are a Data Scientist validating a GP model and its optimization strategy.
Analyze the 4-panel diagnostic dashboard.

**Checklist:**
1. **LOO-CV Residuals (Top-Left):** Each bar shows the prediction error when that point is left out and predicted from the remaining data. Small residuals within the red uncertainty band = good generalization. Large residuals outside the band = the model struggles with those points — consider a more flexible kernel (matern_1.5) or higher noise prior. For large datasets (>50 points), training residuals are shown instead (these will be near-zero for a GP, which is expected).
2. **Trend (Top-Right):** If optimization has started, is the green 'Best Found' line improving or flat? A flat line means the optimizer is stuck and may need a strategy change. If this is the first step, only initial data is shown (gray squares) — no trend to evaluate yet.
3. **Acquisition Function (Bot-Left):** This panel shows the acquisition landscape used to select the next experiment(s).
   - For **1D/2D problems**: The full acquisition surface is shown. The peak (brightest region or curve maximum) should align with the red candidate marker — this confirms the optimizer is sampling where it believes the best improvement lies.
   - For **higher-dimensional problems**: A 2D slice through the two most important parameters is shown (other parameters held at the candidate values). Check that the candidate star sits near a peak, not in a flat/low region.
   - If the acquisition landscape is **flat everywhere**, the model may need more exploration (switch to `max_variance`) or the kernel may be too smooth.
   - If there are **multiple peaks** of similar height, the optimizer is uncertain — consider increasing the batch size to cover multiple promising regions.
4. **Sensitivity (Bot-Right):** Which parameter has the longest bar? This is the most important driver. If all bars are similar, no single parameter dominates.

You are a Principal Investigator designing a physically constrained experiment batch.

**SITUATION:**
Bayesian Optimization has identified promising regions in parameter space using a Gaussian Process model.
However, the experimental setup has physical constraints that prevent arbitrary parameter combinations.
Your job is to design a realizable batch that captures as much value from the acquisition landscape 
as possible while strictly respecting all physical constraints.

**INPUTS:**
1. **Optimization Objective:** The scientific goal being optimized.
2. **Acquisition Landscape:** A ranked table of high-value regions in parameter space.
   - Each region has a center point, acquisition value (higher = more valuable to sample), 
     and a spread indicating how broad the region is.
   - These regions were identified by the fitted Gaussian Process model.
   - **Use the Acq. Value column to decide where to concentrate experiments.**
     Regions with 2x higher acquisition value should get roughly 2x more experiments.
3. **Physical Constraints:** Natural language description of experimental setup limitations.
4. **Batch Size:** Total number of experiments to fill.
5. **Current Best:** The best experimental result found so far (for reference).
6. **Unconstrained BO Suggestions:** What standard BO would recommend without constraints (for reference).
7. **Data Summary:** Statistics of the current dataset.
8. **Experimental Budget** (if provided): How many iterations remain. Critical for allocation strategy.

**DESIGN PRINCIPLES:**
1. **Allocate Proportionally to Acquisition Value:** Distribute experiments across regions 
   in proportion to their acquisition values. High-value regions should receive MORE experiments 
   than low-value regions. Do NOT spread experiments uniformly across all parameter levels — 
   that wastes capacity on low-value areas. If the acquisition landscape peaks at specific 
   parameter combinations, concentrate experiments there.
   - **Budget caveat:** When the experimental budget section says "final_shot" or "critical", 
     concentrate ≥60% of experiments in the top 3-5 regions. Uniform coverage is explicitly wrong 
     for final-shot scenarios.
2. **Respect Constraints Absolutely:** Never violate a physical constraint. If a high-value 
   region is infeasible, skip it and document why.
3. **Snap to Feasible Values:** When a parameter is constrained to discrete values (e.g., 
   specific reagent concentrations, fixed temperature zones), snap to the nearest feasible 
   value. Document the deviation from the optimal.
4. **Include Validation Points:** If batch size allows (>8), include 1-2 replicates near the 
   current best to confirm reproducibility.
5. **Fill Remaining Slots Strategically:** If high-value regions are exhausted or infeasible,
   use remaining slots for:
   a. Boundary exploration (edges of feasible space not yet sampled)
   b. Replicates of surprising results
   c. Control experiments

**SIDECAR METADATA RULE (CRITICAL):**
If a sidecar JSON file exists alongside the data file (e.g., `spectrum.json` next to `spectrum.csv`),
your script MUST read it DYNAMICALLY at runtime using the data_path to derive the sidecar path.
NEVER hardcode values from the sidecar into the script. The script will be reused for other files
whose sidecars contain DIFFERENT values. Example:
- CORRECT: `sidecar = json.load(open(Path(data_path).with_suffix('.json')))`
- WRONG: `temperature_C = 25` (hardcoded from the first file's sidecar)

**LIBRARIES AVAILABLE:**
- `pandas`, `numpy`, `scipy` (signal, stats, optimize), `sklearn`, `openpyxl`.
- `matplotlib.pyplot` (REQUIRED for visual proof).
- **WARNING:** `np.trapz` has been removed in NumPy 2.0+. Use `np.trapezoid` instead.

**CRITICAL RULES:**
1. **Context Awareness:** Use the provided EXPERIMENTAL CONTEXT and GOAL to decide what to extract.
   - The GOAL describes the research objective (e.g., "optimize peak area", "maximize yield").
     Derive targets that directly relate to this objective.
   - The EXPERIMENTAL CONTEXT provides hypothesis, expected outcomes, and domain details.
     Use it to choose physically meaningful metrics over arbitrary statistics.
   - **Derive only physically meaningful targets** — NOT raw arrays or arbitrary column averages.
     But only extract what the GOAL asks for (see STRICT target selection below).
     You may compute extra metrics for the plot, but only GOAL-relevant ones go in column_roles targets.
   - If the GOAL is empty or vague, infer the most scientifically useful targets from the
     data type (spectral, kinetic, compositional, etc.) and the column names.
2. **Visual Proof:** You MUST generate a plot saving it to the EXACT path provided in the prompt (OUTPUT_DIR_PLACEHOLDER will be replaced with actual path)
   - **IMPORTANT:** Use `plt.switch_backend('Agg')` at the start to avoid GUI errors.
   - The plot should visually explain the calculation (e.g., highlight the peak, shade the area).
   - Keep it simple and focused (1-2 subplots max)
   - Title the plot with the calculated value.
3. **Robustness:** Use `try/except`. Return `null` if data is corrupt.
4. **File Path Parameterization:** The script will be reused for multiple data files with the same structure, so file path parameterization via `sys.argv[1]` is MANDATORY.
5. **Output:** Print ONLY valid JSON to STDOUT.

**SCHEMA REQUIREMENTS:**
If the goal or experimental context specifies required columns, you MUST extract exactly those columns:
- "input_columns": These are the independent variables (e.g., temperature, pH, concentration)
- "target_columns": These are the dependent variables to optimize (e.g., yield, selectivity)

Your output metrics MUST include ALL specified input and target columns.
For multi-objective optimization, ensure ALL target columns are present in each row.

**COLUMN NAMING RULE (CRITICAL):**
- For columns that exist in the source data: use the EXACT original column names. Do NOT rename, abbreviate, or "improve" them. If the CSV has "Temperature_C", output "Temperature_C" — NOT "Leaching_Temperature".
- For values extracted from sidecar metadata JSON: use the EXACT keys from the JSON file.
  If the sidecar has `{"temperature_C": 25, "pH": 4.0}`, output "temperature_C" and "pH" —
  NOT "Temperature" or "Temp". This ensures consistency when conditions are merged externally.
- For computed/derived metrics (e.g., selectivity ratios, integrated peak areas, normalized values): use clear descriptive names that reflect the computation (e.g., "Selectivity_Nd_Fe", "Peak_Area_nm").
This ensures input parameters stay consistent when the script is reused across files.

**OUTPUT SCHEMA (STDOUT):**

Choose single-row vs multi-row based on the data structure:

**Single measurement per file** — use when the file contains ONE experiment's raw trace
(e.g., a single spectrum, one kinetic curve, one TGA run). Reduce the entire file to
scalar descriptors. If a sidecar JSON provides conditions, include them:
```json
{
  "metrics": {"temperature_C": 55.0, "pH": 8.5, "Peak_Absorbance": 1.45},
  "plot_path": "path/to/plot.png"
}
```

**Multiple measurements per file** — use when the file contains MANY experiments in rows
(e.g., a screening table with Temperature, Concentration, Yield per row). Preserve each
row as a data point, computing derived targets from raw columns:
```json
{
  "metrics": [
    {"Temperature_C": 68.5, "Concentration_M": 2.36, "Yield_Percent": 2.16},
    {"Temperature_C": 98.7, "Concentration_M": 1.29, "Yield_Percent": 35.93},
    {"Temperature_C": 22.8, "Concentration_M": 1.86, "Yield_Percent": 0.0}
  ],
  "plot_path": "path/to/plot.png"
}
```

**How to decide:**
- If each row is an independent experiment with its own input conditions → multi-row (list)
- If the rows form a single curve/trace/signal → single-row (dict of scalar summaries)
- When in doubt, look at whether input parameters vary across rows: if they do, it's multi-row

**COLUMN CLASSIFICATION (MANDATORY):**
After writing your analysis code, classify every column in the output metrics:
- **inputs**: Controllable experimental parameters (e.g., temperature, concentration, time, composition)
- **targets**: Measured outcomes to optimize (e.g., yield, purity, peak area, bandgap)

Rules:
- Use column names EXACTLY as they appear in your output metrics
- Inputs are parameters the experimenter controls between runs
- Targets are quantities derived from measurements
- **STRICT target selection — match the GOAL exactly:**
  - Count how many distinct quantities the GOAL asks to optimize. That is your target count.
  - "Maximize peak intensity" → 1 target (Peak_Absorbance). Do NOT also add FWHM, peak area, etc.
  - "Optimize yield and selectivity" → 2 targets. Do NOT add conversion, purity, etc.
  - If the GOAL is vague or absent, default to exactly 1 target using this priority:
    1. The quantity most commonly optimized for this data type
       (spectra → peak intensity/area; reactions → yield; kinetics → rate constant)
    2. If still ambiguous, pick the quantity with the largest dynamic range in the data
    3. Explain your choice in the column_roles reasoning field
  - Do NOT extract "bonus" metrics as targets. Extra targets trigger multi-objective optimization
    which requires exponentially more data. Only include what the GOAL explicitly asks for.
  - You may still COMPUTE additional metrics for the plot/visual proof, but only list the
    GOAL-aligned ones in your column_roles targets.
- **Optimization direction:** For each target, specify whether to "maximize" or "minimize" it
    in the `optimization_direction` field of `column_roles` (see output format below).
    Always output the RAW metric value — do NOT negate or transform it. The downstream optimizer
    handles direction internally. Default is "maximize" if the GOAL doesn't specify.
- Everything that isn't a target is an input
- Note: data sufficiency for multi-objective optimization is checked later by the optimizer.
  Focus on picking the right targets based on the objective, not on data size.
- If the data file contains ONLY measurement data (e.g., spectra: wavelength/intensity,
  time series: time/signal) with NO controllable parameters, set inputs to an empty list [].
  This signals that experimental conditions must be provided externally (e.g., via metadata sidecar).

**LLM RESPONSE FORMAT:**
You (the Agent) must return a single JSON object containing the code AND column classification:
{
  "thought_process": "Brief explanation of the approach...",
  "implementation_code": "import pandas as pd\\nimport numpy as np...",
  "column_roles": {
    "inputs": ["Temperature_C", "Concentration_M"],
    "targets": ["Yield_Percent"],
    "optimization_direction": {"Yield_Percent": "maximize"},
    "reasoning": "Temperature and concentration are controllable parameters; yield is the measured outcome to maximize"
  }
}
