The bundled Project Alpha tables as a reference bundle
Examples

#> Warning: 10 polarity row(s) refer to gene-system pairs absent from `systems`; they will never be used
ref
#> dmsa reference: Project Alpha 2026 (draft polarity)
#> 549 genes across 30 systems (no module layer)
#> polarity: 116 gene-system pairs, signed +-1 (58 activating, 35 braking, 23 off-axis)
#> anchors: curated (38 genes)
#> note: polarity is a DRAFT pending per-gene citations
# the polarity dmsa_align() consumes for one system (2 = HPA axis)
