+  flux-distribution plots. *The main open item.*
+- [ ] **Metabolomics-based scoring in tINIT / ftINIT** — passing a non-empty `metabolomics`
+  argument currently raises `NotImplementedError`.
+- [ ] **Published binary release ZIPs** (BLAST / DIAMOND / HMMER) — the resolver in
+  `binaries.py` is ready; the registry is empty until the ZIPs are published as release assets.
+- [ ] **Published KEGG data-artefact releases** — the build pipeline exists; the artefact
+  bundle is not published yet.

+The two principled omissions above (MetaCyc reconstruction, dynamic FBA) are **not** on this
+list — they are deliberately out of scope, not pending work.
