Enforce full attempt logging and latest-eval checkpoint flow.

Require attempt-log updates on train.py commits, save per-run checkpoint as latest_eval_best_model, and let pre-commit promote improved runs to best_model while refreshing best trajectories. Also improved mean_rmsd_100 to 2.461592.

 - 2026-04-16: Enforced random-time flow-matching rule (no fixed training time), saved best checkpoint to git-tracked artifact path, and improved metric to `mean_rmsd_100=2.519821` with `gcn hidden=512 layers=8 batch=96`.
 - 2026-04-16: Added a general multi-layer diagnosis principle to `GUIDELINES.md` so experiments are judged with quantitative + qualitative + structural evidence, not metric-only optimization.
 - 2026-04-16: Tried weighted objective to counter weak rotation/torsion motion (`w_center=0.8, w_omega=2.0, w_torsion=3.0, grad_clip=0.8`) and improved to `mean_rmsd_100=2.505556`.
+- 2026-04-16: Failed attempt B (longer, lower-lr weighted run) reached `mean_rmsd_100=2.531661`; reverted artifacts to current best.
+- 2026-04-16: Failed attempt C (torsion-heavy weights, `time_power=1.2`) reached `mean_rmsd_100=2.564594`; no commit.

+- 2026-04-16: Failed attempt G (`accum=3` for stability) reached `mean_rmsd_100=2.561071`; no commit.
+- 2026-04-16: Policy update: every attempt (success/failure) must be logged; checkpoint flow changed to `artifacts/latest_eval_best_model.pt` per run, while pre-commit promotes improved runs to `artifacts/best_model.pt`.
