December 2025 (RosettaCommons/foundry): Delivered HBPLUS integration with an enhanced training workflow, including improved documentation, environment setup guidance, new example PDBs, and binder/metrics refinements to support HBPLUS-based training. Added non-loopy structure indicator support via an is_non_loopy flag in configuration and binders to better model polymers and nucleic acids. Maintained and cleaned up documentation with image/link fixes and README upkeep. Minor but meaningful fixes include adjusting hbplus metric failure handling from error to warning to reduce training noise and documentation link corrections (trajectory.png).
