Extends inference-time latent optimization (IT-opt, #313) beyond Protenix to the remaining
supported models.

Where each model stands

Protenix is the reference implementation and works today.

Boltz2 — was blocked, now fixed. Its step() never read cond.z. At featurize time the wrapper
collapsed s and z into six cached tensors (q, c, to_keys, atom_enc_bias, atom_dec_bias,
token_trans_bias) via self.model.diffusion_conditioning(...), and step() passed that frozen
bundle, so an optimized z had no effect and s acted only through its direct argument. The first
attempt gated the rebuild on torch.is_grad_enabled(), which still left the final frozen-latent
sampling pass on the stale bundle. The fix in place rebuilds the bundle whenever the s/z tensors
handed to step() are not the ones the cached bundle was built from (an identity check, not a grad
gate), so optimized latents reach every pass, including the final one.

RF3 — no conditioning problem, but the latents were bfloat16. The trunk runs under bfloat16
autocast and _pairformer_pass returned S_inputs_I, S_I, Z_II as-is, so LatentOptimization
cloned bfloat16 leaves. At |z| ~ 40 the bfloat16 spacing is 0.25 and at |s| ~ 800 it is 4, so most
Adam updates of ~0.05 were rounded away and the optimization stalled on most elements. The wrapper now
hands the three tensors out in float32; the diffusion module already casts its inputs to float on
entry, so inference is unchanged.

Boltz1 — expected to work, still unverified. It passes s and z straight into the diffusion
module on every step, so the gradient path exists; the Level-0 check and an end-to-end run have not
been done.

Answers to the open questions

• Is self.model.diffusion_conditioning differentiable end to end? Yes. With the rebuild in
  place a leaf injected as z receives a non-zero gradient, swapping the optimized z back for the
  trunk z changes the final structure (before the fix the two were identical to 0.000 Å), and the
  benchmark moves accordingly (table below).
• What is to_keys? A closure (the atom-attention windowing function), not a tensor. The bundle is
  therefore typed dict[str, Any] and rebuilt as a whole; the closure is recreated with it, so there
  is nothing to sequence.
• Per-step cost. None measurable. The identity gate rebuilds the bundle once per optimization
  round, when the latent tensors change, not once per diffusion step. K=20 on the 40 targets took
  14.52 job-hours with the fix against 14.54 before it.

Results

40 targets, 791 scored selections, paper-era scorer; share of selections at RSCC ≥ 0.8 / ≥ 0.9.

Protenix (reference)	–	96.8 / 80.2	88.6 / 53.1	93.9 / 64.6	96.3 / 80.2	–

Boltz2 K=20 and RF3 K=20 are now level with their coordinate-guidance arms; Boltz2 K=30 adds
nothing over K=20.

📝 Walkthrough

Boltz2 tracks the source tensors for diffusion conditioning and rebuilds the bundle when their identities change. RF3 returns selected trunk representations as float32. The changes add tests for RF3 latent mappings and latent gradients, update model readiness documentation, and pin Boltz CUDA cuequivariance packages.

Changes: Latent optimization model support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build and refresh Boltz2 diffusion conditioning pyproject.toml, src/sampleworks/models/boltz/wrapper.py, docs/IT_OPT_DESIGN.md	Boltz pins three Linux CUDA cuequivariance packages to 0.9.0. Boltz2 records the source latents used to build diffusion conditioning. In step(), it rebuilds the bundle when either latent tensor differs by identity, then passes the selected bundle to the structure module. The readiness table describes Boltz2 as working and adds it to the CLI model list.
Return and verify RF3 trunk latents src/sampleworks/models/rf3/wrapper.py, tests/models/rf3/test_rf3_latent_adapter.py, docs/IT_OPT_DESIGN.md	RF3 returns S_inputs_I, S_I, and Z_II as float32. A guarded integration test checks that the registered attribute mappings resolve to the corresponding trunk latents. The readiness table documents the float32 outputs.
Check latent gradients and denoiser output tests/models/test_latent_gradient.py	A GPU/slow test checks that single and pair latent leaves receive finite, nonzero gradients through a denoiser step. It also checks that perturbing the pair latent changes the denoiser output.

The Boltz2 and RF3 latent-optimization changes look sound. The Boltz1 readiness row in the design doc still claims that no Level-0 check exists, which is inaccurate and worth a quick fix. This is documentation only and does not block the merge.

Check the single latent in the frozen forward pass.

Boltz2 builds its cached diffusion conditioning from both s and z. This forward check changes only z. If the no-grad path reuses stale s-derived conditioning, the backward check can still pass and this comparison will not detect the error. Add a separate comparison that changes only s.

Update the Boltz1 readiness row.

tests/models/test_latent_gradient.py includes Boltz1 in its parametrized Level-0 gradient check. The row must not state that no Level-0 check exists. Keep the end-to-end status unverified unless the reported run is confirmed.

 | **Protenix** | Works, with two conditions | (a) `step()` keeps an injected leaf attached automatically via the `detach_unless_leaf` helper — a cached latent detaches under grad (avoids double-backward), but a leaf with `requires_grad=True` is kept attached. No manual edit needed. (b) For `z`, the diffusion shared-vars cache must be **off** (`pair_z`/`p_lm`/`c_l` are z-derived; a stale cache silently zeroes / corrupts the `z` gradient). `_run_guidance` disables it for `LATENT_OPT`. |
 | **Boltz2** | Works | `z` (and part of `s`) enter the diffusion module only through the cached `diffusion_conditioning` bundle built at featurize time. `step()` rebuilds the bundle whenever the `s`/`z` tensors it receives are not the ones the cached bundle was built from (an identity check, not a grad gate), so optimized latents reach every pass including the final frozen-latent one. Rebuilt once per round; no measurable cost. |
