Summary

  • Align molecular p and pi clouds to local bond geometry and improve axial symmetry.
  • Remove biased angular rejection fallback and endpoint clamping artifacts.
  • Improve cloud visibility and default atomic view; correct chromium ground-state configuration.
  • Clarify that molecular rendering is qualitative, not a solved molecular wavefunction.
  • Add rotation-covariance and rejection-sampling regressions to existing CI validation.

Validation

  • yarn validate:interaction
  • yarn validate:molecules (8 complex molecular structures)
  • yarn build
  • git diff --check
  • Browser visual checks of oxygen and sildenafil.

Limitations

Orbital sizes are display-scaled and molecular clouds remain a qualitative model without quantum-chemistry wavefunction/interference calculations.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved molecular visualizations with bond-aligned local orbital shapes and clearer bond-region electron density.
    • Added support for Chromium’s ground-state electron configuration.
  • Documentation

    • Updated molecular-mode captions and guide text to clarify that the visualization is qualitative and does not calculate molecular wavefunctions or interference effects.
  • Tests

    • Expanded validation coverage for molecular orbital alignment and direction sampling behavior.

Walkthrough

The molecular renderer now uses local bond frames for orbital and bond clouds, corrects Chromium’s electron configuration, and enforces accepted orbital samples. New validators check rotated molecular geometry and rejection sampling. Captions and guides describe the display as a non-quantitative model.

Changes

Orbital rendering and validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Orbital sampling and local frames
src/webgpu-cloud.js
Chromium receives its ground-state exception. sampleDirection now exports and continues rejection sampling until acceptance. bondFrame supplies local frames for atomic and bond cloud rendering, including p-like π-orbital nodes.
Particle setup and molecular presentation
src/webgpu-cloud.js
Particle creation precomputes bond frames, assigns atom frames, increases molecule opacity scaling, and applies a new initial rotation.
Validation and model description
scripts/validate-orbitals.mjs, package.json, src/main.js
The validation command runs orbital checks for rotated benzene frames and deterministic rejection sampling. Molecular captions and guide text describe local orbitals and bond-region density without claiming molecular wavefunction calculations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0b9e3

Molecular views retain the previous default orientation instead of the intended new rotation. The rendering improvements remain usable, but this visual behavior should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Apply the new initial rotation to molecular views.

Line 376 selects the old fixed quaternion when molecule is true. It selects axisAngle([0,1,0], Math.PI/4) only for atomic views. Molecular canvases therefore keep the old default orientation.

Proposed fix
-    const initialRotation=molecule?normalize([0.14,-.17,0,.975]):axisAngle([0,1,0],Math.PI/4),initialScale=molecule?Math.min(2.7,Math.max(1.15,6.5/(molecularExtent+1.2))):2.7;
+    const initialRotation=axisAngle([0,1,0],Math.PI/4),initialScale=molecule?Math.min(2.7,Math.max(1.15,6.5/(molecularExtent+1.2))):2.7;
