      in cached production models 662af8fa00002877 and 663d668500001492 and

      Add CFLAR and CASP10 leaves or optional variants at DISC assembly /
      initiator activation, and keep effector CASP3/6/7 execution in the
      separate execution-phase module.
notes: >-
  Curated compact signaling-pathway module generated from verified UniProt exemplar accessions and local
  PAINT IBD rows. PTN anchors are included only when the exemplar accession appears in an IBD seed row
  in interpro/panther; roles without local PAINT seeds remain grounded by verified UniProt exemplar accessions.
  Falcon integration (2026-06-28): Falcon findings are linked as evidence and family-level support. Automatically
  extracted open-question headings were intentionally not retained as knowledge_gap entries because they
  were not manually curated. Machine-generated Falcon citations remain curation support and are not manually
  adjudicated here. Manual APOPTOSIS audit (2026-09-30): the FAS/FADD/CASP8
  seed was checked against completed death-receptor reviews and the production
  FASL-FAS GO-CAM; TRAIL, TNFR1, CFLAR, and CASP10 were left as explicit
  expansion gaps rather than merged into the FAS arm.
  OUT OF SCOPE - caspase-9/APAF-1 and the apoptosome (PMID:42819741): a membership handoff
  routed a structural study of the human caspase-9 CARD to this module. It does not belong here.
  This module is grounded in GO:0008625 extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain
  receptors and models the death-ligand arm only: FASLG -> FAS -> FADD -> CASP8, with TNFRSF1A as
  receptor context. Caspase-9 is the initiator caspase of the *intrinsic* (mitochondrial) pathway
  and is activated by the APAF-1/cytochrome c apoptosome, not at a DISC; neither CASP9
  (UniProtKB:P55211) nor APAF1 (UniProtKB:O14727) is a participant of this module, and the paper
  assays neither FAS, FADD nor CASP8 (CASP8 appears in it only as a filament-forming comparator).
  The correct home for apoptosome-level mechanism is modules/intrinsic_apoptotic_signaling.yaml,
  where CASP9 and APAF1 are already annotons and where this candidate was assessed and recorded as
  not modelled. Note that CASP8 and CASP9 share the PANTHER family this module selects on
  (PTHR10454 CASPASE), so a family-level selector could in principle sweep caspase-9 literature in
  here, and the shared PAINT node PTN000047947 does not separate them either - it is cited for
  CASP8 in this module and for CASP9 in the intrinsic module, carrying the same generic
  C:GO:0005737 / F:GO:0004197 / P:GO:0006915 propagation. What keeps the initiator-caspase role
  extrinsic is only the representative member, UniProtKB:Q14790 (CASP8); treat the family term as
  context, not as the role's identity. Route
  apoptosome, CYCS, APAF1 and CASP9 findings to the intrinsic module, and effector CASP3/6/7
  findings to modules/apoptotic_execution_phase.yaml. Ligands in Signaling
  Pathways upgrade (2026-10-25, Tranche 4A): replaced GENE_PRODUCT selectors on
  FASLG, FAS, and FADD with PANTHER subfamily selectors (PTHR11471:SF33,
  PTHR46874:SF1, PTHR15077:SF10) anchored to local PAINT IBD nodes, added
  GO:0036337 (Fas signaling pathway) alongside GO:0008625, and populated
  function, processes, locations, and evidence on all annotons.

                      Falcon family-level GO review: PTHR46861 is a narrow, functionally homogeneous TNFRSF1A
                      ortholog family whose current no-mapping state is treated as under-annotated. Use
                      the family report as candidate support for TNFR1-specific terms after manual confirmation,
                      while grounding this module role in representative members/PTN anchors.
