ENCODE application source

The current architecture, model conventions, data layout, and deployment steps are documented once in the repository README.

Layout

• backend/ — FastAPI routes, BGE-FT-VA query encoding, FAISS code search, two-surface phenotype retrieval, mappings, and graph responses.
• frontend/ — static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript served by the backend and reused by the Netlify package.
• requirements.txt — pinned CPU runtime dependencies used by the Docker image.

For a local source-mode server with dependencies already installed:

uvicorn src.backend.app:app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

The required model, indexes, embeddings, and runtime sidecars must exist under outputs/ or be redirected through the ENCODE_* environment variables defined in backend/paths.py.
