Refresh mpraVarDB to 2026-05-19 snapshot; fix hg19 pos in name field.

Upstream landed the Mouri/Tewhey pvalue correction (5,092 rows with
pvalue > 1 -> 0) and replaced 47,156 placeholder fdr=1.0 values with
NaN. Rebuild from the new CSV; remove the temporary "pending upstream
fix" note in mpraVarDb.html.

Also closes the pre-existing "hg19 pos in non-rs name field" issue:
mpravardbToBed.py gained a post-liftOver step that rewrites the
chr:pos prefix inside non-rs names with the hg38 coordinates. 47,160
names were rewritten in this build (e.g. chr1:1403972:C>CG at hg38
chr1:1468591 now reads chr1:1468592:C>CG).

itemCount preserved at 239,028. refs #37359

 # mpravardbToBed.py updated to:
 #   - sanitize UTF-8 in user-visible string fields (curly quotes, primes,
 #     NBSP mojibake) before writing BED.  Prior build had ~246k non-ASCII
 #     byte occurrences across 100,961 rows (42% of track) including mangled
 #     rsIDs like "rs34425335NBSP-MOJIBAKE".
 #   - pval_to_score() now returns 0 (not 1000) for non-positive / out-of-range
 #     pvalue.  Prior build gave score=1000 to ~7,400 rows whose upstream pvalue
 #     was literal 0 (mostly NA-coded-as-0), inflating those to the top of any
 #     score-sorted view.
 #   - safe_float() now returns NaN (was 0.0) for NA / empty / non-numeric
 #     upstream values.  27,065 rows whose upstream pvalue was literal "NA"
 #     now store pvalue="nan" instead of "0.0", so untested variants no longer
 #     masquerade as p=0 in the details page and are excluded by the default
 #     filter.fdr / filter.log2FC range sliders.  bedToBigBed accepts the
 #     literal string "nan" in float fields.

 # =============================================================================
 # Known outstanding items (see RM #37359)
 # =============================================================================
 # - mprabase rebuild items to fold into Varda's next bigBed:
 #     * Mattioli 2020 reference field starts with "musculus ..." (species word
 #       merged into title upstream).  Varda confirmed 2026-04-23 she will fix.
 #     * AutoSQL percentile_rank description currently says "Percentile rank
 #       within cell line"; the data is actually computed per (cell_line, assay,
 #       PMID) experiment.  Fix the .as comment to "Percentile rank within
 #       experiment" so the schema page matches the description page.
 #     * Element-name disambiguation: HepG2-XX%-LM and similar auto-generated
 #       names collide across Inoue 2017 and Klein 2020 because both reused the
 #       same ENCODE-derived 171 bp library and produced the same percentile.
 #       Surface: 149 of 625 unique names are reused across multiple PMIDs;
 #       4 are exact (chrom,start,end,name) duplicates.  Encode PMID or short
 #       study tag in the name to disambiguate.
 # - mprabase chr14:69999387-69999388 (HeLa STARR-seq, PMID 23328393, Arnold 2013)
 #   was previously flagged as an orphan.  Varda confirmed (2026-04-23) it is
 #   valid: HeLa was a proof-of-concept in an otherwise Drosophila STARR-seq
 #   paper (Stark Lab).  Row added to the experiments table in mprabase.html.
 # - Klein et al. 2020 (PMID 33046894) is an MPRA-design benchmarking paper
 #   that ran the same 2,440-element library through nine different assays.
 #   The track has three Klein 2020 sub-rows (lentiMPRA, plasmidMPRA, STARR-seq);
 #   confirm with Varda which underlying sub-designs MPRA Base pulled, since
 #   the Klein 2020 authors flag HSS as the worst-correlated of the nine and
 #   recommend pGL4 / ORI / 5'/5' WT.  Description page can be sharpened once
 #   confirmed.
 # - mpraVarDB preserves ~42k (chrom,start,end,name) duplicate rows (same rsID
 #   tested in multiple cells/studies).  Users disambiguate via the
 #   filterValues.cellLine / filterValues.mpraStudy filters in the trackDb.
 # - ~7,400 rows have upstream pvalue=0 and fdr=0 (not NA).  Could be genuine
 #   precision-floor significance or an upstream "not tested" encoding; the
 #   distinction is not recoverable from the CSV.  With pval_to_score returning
 #   0 for p<=0, these no longer dominate score-sorted views but their details
 #   page still reads "pvalue: 0.0".  Upstream clarification needed.
 #
 # QA review 2026-05-01 (RM #37359, Lou):
 #   Found and fixed in trackDb only (no bigBed rebuild this round):
 #   - filterValues.cellLine had four broken entries hiding ~31,983 rows
 #     (13% of track): PC3 vs PC3 cell mismatch (26,546 rows), SF7996 needed
 #     comma-escape syntax for the bundled HEK293T,,SF7996 data value
 #     (3,896 rows), missing SK-MEL-28 (1,510) and K562+GATA1 (31).  All
 #     four corrected; filter now matches all 32 distinct cellLine values
 #     in the data.
 #   - Description page references rebuilt for all 18 source studies plus
 #     the corrected primary citation (Jin et al. 2024, PMID 39325859 in
 #     Bioinformatics; the previous "Wang T, Matreyek KA, Yang X." citation
 #     was fabricated -- not the actual authors of either the preprint
 #     PMID 38617248 or the published paper).
 #   - 7 studies-table row counts corrected to match data (Tewhey, Griesemer,
 #     Abell, Mouri, McAfee, Cooper, Lu).
 #   - HTML mouseOver upgraded to bold/multi-line.
 #   - dataVersion "MPRAVarDB snapshot 2026-03-10" added to stanza.
 #   - urls rsid="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/$$" added so rsIDs are
 #     clickable linkouts.
 #   - Methods + Display Conventions paragraphs added: scoring methodology
 #     differs across studies, post-transcriptional vs transcriptional
 #     distinction (Griesemer/Schuster 3'UTR), Kircher saturation
 #     mutagenesis structure, log2FC interpretation.
 #
 #   Punted to Redmine for Max / Tao Wang (status as of 2026-05-14):
 #   - 5,092 rows (Mouri, Tewhey) have pvalue > 1 (impossible; max 8.96).
 #     FDR appears valid; pvalue field looks like a t-statistic mislabeled.
 #     Upstream curators acknowledged; fix is weeks out.  We added a
 #     "Note (pending upstream fix)" paragraph to mpraVarDb.html bracketed
 #     by an HTML comment "TEMP: remove once Tao Wang fixes..."  --
 #     remove that paragraph when the next CSV snapshot lands.
 #   - 60,860 rows have description="GWAS" (no detail) -- upstream limit.
 #   - 1,069 rows have multi-allelic alt collapsed into one row (e.g.
 #     "T/A,G") with one log2FC/pvalue.  Upstream-collapsed; per-allele
 #     values not recoverable from the CSV.
 #   - 969 rows are colored red (FDR<0.05) but pvalue=nan -- mouseOver
 #     reads "FDR: 0.001 / p-value: NA" (NA now, formerly "nan").
 #     Defensible; FDR can be reported without per-test p.
 #   - hg19-coordinate position in the chr:pos:ref>alt name field of
 #     ~73k non-rs rows.  Affects only rows that came from the CSV's
 #     hg19 portion (210k of 239k rows) and lack an rsID.  csv_to_bed
 #     builds the name from the raw CSV pos before liftOver runs, so
 #     the row's chromStart/chromEnd are correctly hg38 but the name
 #     still carries the original hg19 pos (e.g. row at chr19:11089230
 #     has name "chr19:11199907:A>T").  Display is unaffected (browser
 #     uses chromStart); only matters if a user copies the name field
 #     expecting hg38 coordinates.  Pre-existing issue, not introduced
 #     by the 2026-05-14 rebuild; surfaced during sandbox validation.
 #     Fix would require post-processing the lifted BED to rewrite the
 #     pos inside each name -- one-line awk in main() after Step 2.
 #
 # QA-2 build-script rebuild 2026-05-14 (RM #37359, Lou):
 #   Items handled in mpravardbToBed.py + mpravardb.as, single rebuild:
 #   - sanitize_text now maps "None"/"NA"/"N/A"/"null"/"NULL"/"nan" to
 #     empty string after the existing UTF-8 sanitization.  Removed
 #     55,108 stale sentinels (53,144 disease="None" eQTL rows +
 #     1,964 disease="NA" Kircher rows + 44 ref/alt=NA Myint rows).
 #   - sanitize_text applies a literal-replacement table for three
 #     upstream typos: "30 UTR" -> "3'UTR" (26,546 Schuster description
 #     rows), "Familial hypercholesterol emia" -> "Familial
 #     hypercholesterolemia" (2,176 Kircher disease rows), "Alchol use
 #     disorder" -> "Alcohol use disorder" (88 Rao disease rows).
 #   - New fmt_mo() renders NaN floats as "NA" in the mouseOver helper
 #     fields rather than literal "nan"; 30,921 rows fixed.
 #   - Name + rsid handling tightened: a value is treated as an rsID
 #     only if it starts with "rs".  2,088 hg19-coord-style names like
 #     "1_1403972_CG" are now reformatted to "chr<X>:<hg38pos>:<ref>><alt>"
 #     and the rsid field is set to "" so the dbSNP linkout does not
 #     fire on a bogus value.
 #   - Removed the 250-char truncation that was cutting Griesemer
 #     descriptions mid-sentence; mpravardb.as switched the description
 #     and mpraStudy fields from "string" to "lstring" to allow full
 #     upstream text.
 #   - Pre-rebuild backup: mpravardb.bb.pre-2026-05-14-backup
 #   - itemCount preserved: 239,028.
