singleCellSignalsPeaks: point at the hub build's new home, fix the file-copy script

The hub build now lives in the cellBrowser repo under ucsc/allTracksHub, so the makeDocs
link there instead of a personal work dir. HUB_BUILD in these scripts is the build's
output dir, not its code; comments say so now, paths unchanged.

copySingleCellSignalsPeaksFiles.py was silently copying nothing: it compared a whole line
against "parent <composite>", but stanzas are now indented and read "parent <composite>
off". Now dedents, matches the first token, and refuses to run on zero subtracks. Dry runs
give 925 hg38 / 587 mm10, none missing.

 # mm10 singleCellSignalsPeaks track  -  2026-07-22  Claude (mspeir)  refs #37914
 
 # The native mm10 "singleCellSignalsPeaks" faceted composite is the Genome
 # Browser version of the mm10 signal-&-peaks composite (cellBrowserMm10) of the
-# UCSC Cell Browser all-tracks super hub (built under
-# /hive/users/mspeir/claude/cell-browser/all-tracks-hub-build). It gathers the
-# per-cell-type ATAC-seq signal (bigWig) and peak (bigNarrowPeak) tracks from the
+# UCSC Cell Browser all-tracks super hub, whose build lives in the cellBrowser
+# repo, ucsc/allTracksHub:
+#   https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/cellBrowser/tree/develop/ucsc/allTracksHub
+#
+# It gathers the per-cell-type ATAC-seq signal (bigWig) and peak (bigNarrowPeak) tracks from the
 # single-cell ATAC datasets in the Cell Browser and re-parents them under one
 # faceted composite. It is the mm10 counterpart of the hg38 track of the same
 # name (see doc/hg38/singleCellSignalsPeaks.txt, Redmine #37820). Histone marks,
 # cCREs, RNA/expression, interactions, and the separately-faceted motor-neuron
 # and brain-spatial sets each live in their own hub composites and are NOT part
 # of this track.
 
 ##############################################################################
 # 1. Source data
 ##############################################################################
 # The track mirrors the hub's main mm10 signal-&-peaks faceted composite
 # (cellBrowserMm10): 647 subtracks (641 bigWig, 6 bigNarrowPeak) from 9 datasets
 # - catlas-mouse-aging (234), catlas-mouse-brain (160), allen-basal-ganglia-atac
 # (131), olg-dyn-eae-multiome (28), mouse-lvcp-multiome (23, incl. the 6 peaks),
 # catlas-paired-tag (21), mouse-kidney-atac (19), olg-eae-ms (16) and
 # mouse-epi-juv-brain (15). That composite and its facet metadata are produced by
 # the hub build from the Cell Browser dataset tree:
 #
-#   cd /hive/users/mspeir/claude/cell-browser/all-tracks-hub-build
+#   cd $HOME/cellBrowser/ucsc/allTracksHub
 #   python3 build_manifest.py            # scan datasets -> manifest.tsv
 #   python3 build_stanzas.py             # manifest -> stanzas/mm10.trackDb.txt
 #                                        #            + meta/mm10.metadata.tsv
 #
+# The build writes its output to $CBHUB_OUT, NOT next to the scripts (that dir is
+# git-controlled). Default: /hive/users/mspeir/claude/cell-browser/all-tracks-hub-build
+#
 # The per-track source files (abs_path column of manifest.tsv) are the files the
 # Cell Browser datasets already serve; nothing is regenerated here, only copied.
 
 ##############################################################################
 # 2. Copy the data files into place  (bed dir, served via a /gbdb symlink)
 ##############################################################################
 # copySingleCellSignalsPeaksFiles.py copies every cellBrowserMm10 subtrack file
 # into /hive/data/genomes/mm10/bed/singleCellSignalsPeaks/<served-relpath>,
 # keeping each file's served relative path, and copies the composite's facet
 # metadata to <bed>/singleCellSignalsPeaks_metadata.tsv. The served subpath is
 # preserved on purpose: some coverage/peak basenames (e.g. MOL.bw, OPC.bw) repeat
 # across datasets, so a flat directory would clobber them.  89.6 GB, 647 files.
 #
 #   scriptDir=$HOME/kent/src/hg/makeDb/scripts/singleCellSignalsPeaks

 ##############################################################################
 # 3. Generate the trackDb .ra
 ##############################################################################
 # makeSingleCellSignalsPeaksRa.py reads the hub's mm10 stanzas, keeps the
 # cellBrowserMm10 subtracks, renames the composite to singleCellSignalsPeaks,
 # repoints every bigDataUrl at the local /gbdb copy, and writes the .ra with
 # group=regulation (ATAC signal/peaks sit with the ENCODE regulatory tracks).
 # The generator also: drops any subtrack whose source path is under a deprecated
 # "*.old/" dir, sets every subtrack "off" by default (users pick tracks from the
 # faceted selector), and assigns "priority" by cell class so same-class tracks
 # group together in the display. Labels/colors/facets are already resolved by
 # build_stanzas (see section 4); the generator carries them through unchanged.
 #
 #   python3 $scriptDir/makeSingleCellSignalsPeaksRa.py --assembly mm10

 ##############################################################################
 # 4. Labels, colors, and facets  (build_stanzas.py)
 ##############################################################################
 # build_stanzas.py derives the display metadata rather than copying the source
 # hub's cryptic cluster labels. The same logic runs for hg38 (see
 # doc/hg38/singleCellSignalsPeaks.txt).
 #
 # Cell type: the source cluster label is cleaned and, for datasets with coded
 #   cluster names, mapped to a canonical name via a paper-curated crosswalk
 #   (celltype-crosswalks/<collection>.tsv; codes decoded from Li 2021 PMID 34616068,
 #   Zhang 2022 PMID 36207411, Zhu 2021 PMID 33589836, and the Allen whole-brain
 #   taxonomy). Redundant synonyms are merged, QC clusters (doublet / low-quality /
 #   batch) are dropped, and commas become ';' (the faceted UI tokenizes cell
 #   values on commas). The full cell type is a searchable table column (_Cell_type),
 #   not a facet -- there are too many values.
 #
 # Cell class: each cell type is assigned one of ~22 broad classes
 #   (celltype-crosswalks/celltype-class.tsv, built by build_celltype_crosswalks.py).
 #   The class drives BOTH the track color (one colorblind-conscious palette,
 #   celltype-palette.tsv, shared by hg38 and mm10 so a class is the same color on
 #   both assemblies) and the subtrack priority. Cell class is the primary cell facet.
 #
 # Tissue / Life stage / Condition: filled per collection from hub_config.json
 #   (tissue_from_path, collection_lifestage, collection_condition) plus dataset-
 #   specific parsing in build_stanzas.py. SEA-AD, for example, gets its region
 #   (seaad_MTG/PFC -> middle temporal gyrus / dorsolateral prefrontal cortex),
 #   Aged life stage (donors 65-102), and ADNC neuropathology level (no AD / low /
 #   intermediate / high) from the path + "ADNC<n>" filename prefix; regions and
 #   ADNC categories per Gabitto 2024 (PMID 39402379) and Hawrylycz 2024 (PMID
 #   39402332).
 #
 # longLabel: rebuilt from the harmonized facets as
 #     <cell type>[, <condition if not healthy>][, <tissue if a specific region>]
 #     [, <extra>][, <variant>] (<dataset>)
 #   so the cryptic source short labels decode, e.g. "ADNC0 Astro" ->
 #   "Astrocyte, ADNC 0 (no AD), middle temporal gyrus (SEA-AD Brain ATAC)", and
 #   "LM.Macg.03" -> "Macrophage, muscle, 3 months (CATLAS Mouse Aging Brain)". The
 #   CATLAS aging age-in-months (the ".NN" filename suffix) is the <extra> descriptor
 #   -- kept in the label, not made a facet, so Life stage stays coarse (Adult/Aged)
 #   and consistent across datasets.
 #
 # Variant descriptors (track_variant): the cell-type harmonization above drops
 #   detail on purpose to keep the facets compact -- collapse_celltype strips trailing
 #   cluster numbers, rollup_celltype strips parenthetical qualifiers, and
 #   celltype_strip_suffix_regex strips peak-method suffixes. That detail is real, and
 #   without it hundreds of genuinely different subtracks collapsed onto one label
 #   (before this was added, hg38 had 925 subtracks sharing only 401 distinct
 #   longLabels, mm10 629 sharing 359). The variant descriptors put the meaningful
 #   distinctions back: how the peaks were called, which grouping level the track
 #   belongs to, which cohort, and signal vs peaks. They compose, since a peak file
 #   from one cohort needs both markers.
 #
 # Cluster identity (disambiguate_labels): any label still shared after the variant
 #   descriptors is qualified with its source cluster code, which is unique and is
 #   what the source paper calls the cluster. CATLAS mouse brain alone rolls
 #   MSGA1..MSGA13 into one "Medial septum GABAergic neuron", and ITL4GL1/ITL5GL2 into
 #   one "Cortical IT excitatory neuron" even though those encode different cortical
 #   layers -- right for a facet, wrong for a label. Every longLabel is now unique on
 #   both assemblies.
 #
 # shortLabel: rebuilt too (the source shortLabels were not in fact length-limited --
 #   they ran to 50 chars, carried underscores, ArchR filename tails and R-mangled
 #   names like X1126_HY_PAL_STR_Folh1_1). Built from the harmonized cell type,
 #   abbreviated word-by-word through a curated table (CT_ABBREV) only when it does
 #   not fit, plus the variant token and, where the longLabel distinction would
 #   otherwise be invisible, a compact facet token (SEA-AD region + ADNC level,
 #   CATLAS aging age: "Astrocyte MTG A0", "Basophil 3mo"). Budget is 22 chars: there
 #   is no hard limit in the tree (excluding this track, hg38's trackDb runs a median
 #   of 18 and 54% of tracks exceed the classic 17), but the left label area crowds
 #   past that and 22 leaves room for the distinguishing token.
 #
 # Spelling: known source misspellings are corrected before the plural/case merge so
 #   a typo'd variant lands in the same group as its correctly-spelled twin instead of
 #   becoming a second facet value ("Ventricular cardioyocyte" vs "Ventricular
 #   cardiomyocyte" were two separate Cell_type values). See CELLTYPE_SPELLING.
 #   The plural/case merge picks the singular form first and only then the most
 #   frequent -- frequency alone made the facet inconsistent, choosing the singular
 #   for 15 of 17 merged groups but the plural for Megakaryocytes/Oligodendrocytes.
 #
 #   IMPORTANT, if you add to CELLTYPE_SPELLING: the misspelled strings are load-bearing
 #   *keys* in the curated tables (celltype-class.tsv, and hub_config.json's
 #   celltype_rollup_overrides / celltype_expansions / celltype_expansions_global /
 #   celltype_tissue). Correcting a cell type without correcting those keys makes the
 #   lookup miss silently, and the track loses its rollup, tissue, broad class and color.
 #   That happened: correcting Broncial / Hematopoeitic / Syncitio / Glutaminergic, plus
 #   canonicalizing Megakaryocytes to the singular, quietly cost 16 hg38 tracks their
 #   Cell_class and color. The tables now normalize their keys on load (class_key,
 #   _ct_lower_key, _ct_matchkey) so either spelling matches, and any cell type with no
 #   broad class is reported in unclassified-celltypes.log plus counted in
 #   facet-coverage.md rather than silently becoming "unknown".
 #
 # Cell classes: Nephron progenitor used to come out as class "Neural progenitor". The
 #   decode tables carry a bare broad class of "Progenitor", and build_celltype_crosswalks
 #   mapped that to "Neural progenitor" -- right for the radial glia and neuroblasts that
 #   make up the rest of the class, wrong for kidney. Nephron progenitors are Six2+ cap
 #   mesenchyme, so they are now classed Stromal (NON_NEURAL_PROGENITOR); the HTML legend
 #   no longer lists them under Neural progenitor. Note celltype-class.tsv is hand-curated
 #   (the union of the mm10 crosswalk classes with paper-decodes/hg38_ct_class.tsv), NOT
 #   generated -- build_celltype_crosswalks.py does not write it, so a class change has to
 #   be made there too.
 #
 # One copy of the crosswalks: build_stanzas reads celltype-crosswalks/ out of the kent
 #   tree (XWALK_ROOT, overridable), not the copy in the hub-build dir. There used to be
 #   two independent copies and they drifted -- a stale local copy silently reverted the
 #   cell-class fix above while the kent copy looked correct.
 #
 # The curation of record is archived with the scripts:
 #   scripts/singleCellSignalsPeaks/build_celltype_crosswalks.py
 #   scripts/singleCellSignalsPeaks/celltype-crosswalks/       (per-collection crosswalks,
 #       celltype-palette.tsv, celltype-class.tsv, sea-ad-celltype-crosswalk.tsv)
 #   scripts/singleCellSignalsPeaks/celltype-crosswalks/paper-decodes/  (the paper-curated
 #       decode tables, each row's `note` giving its source justification)
 # build_celltype_crosswalks.py rebuilds the crosswalks + palette from paper-decodes/.
 # The general hub machinery that consumes them (build_manifest.py, build_stanzas.py,
-# hub_config.json) lives in the all-tracks-hub-build dir noted above, not in the kent
-# tree -- it builds the whole super hub, not just this track.
+# build_hub.py, hub_config.json) lives in the cellBrowser repo, not in the kent tree --
+# it builds the whole super hub, not just this track:
+#   https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/cellBrowser/tree/develop/ucsc/allTracksHub
+# build_stanzas finds the crosswalks archived here via XWALK_ROOT, so the hub and these
+# native tracks always color a cell class the same.
