Nesting (scripts/nest_systems.py)
The tree was 27 systems and ~1,050 conditions, one level deep — a flat
alphabetical wall in the Systems picker. It is now System → Subsystem →
Condition: 69 subsystems, 305 conditions nested, 564 left directly under their
system because forcing an approximate bucket is worse than leaving them.
Subsystem names are standard textbook divisions, each matched by an explicit
pattern so a dry run shows exactly what moves. Three false positives the dry run
caught were fixed before writing: "erythema" was pulling Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus into dermatology, and a bare "meconium"/"aspiration" was filing
Meconium Ileus as respiratory and Meconium Aspiration as foreign-body.
One home per condition (scripts/merge_duplicate_conditions.py)
The tag→category conversion made each question's subject tag a parent, so a
question tagged Pulmonology and Emergency Medicine produced an "Asthma" row under
each. 330 of 618 condition names lived in several systems — Sepsis in seven,
Failure To Thrive in eight — so no filter ever added them up.
216 names are now folded into the row holding the most questions, and the other
systems survive as `question_category_links` on each moved question: a link is
how "this matters to nephrology *and* emergency medicine" is meant to be said,
duplicate rows are not. 347 rows removed, 1075 → 786, all 2,948 questions intact.
114 names are an even split across systems. Those are reported, not merged —
picking a home for Pneumonia between Pulmonology and Infectious Disease is a
medical call, and an arbitrary tie-break would bury it.
Both scripts are idempotent and were applied after table backups.
Tests: 123 backend green.
