Fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) and Doppler ultrasound provide complementary views of fetal cardiovascular function: fECG captures electrical activity while Doppler reflects mechanical hemodynamics shaped by factors such as placental resistance and vascular compliance. Understanding the recoverable and unrecoverable Doppler components through reconstruction from fECG offers insight into the relative contributions of electrical versus mechanical factors in fetal circulation, thereby informing clinical decisions. In addition, clinical evidence of maternal-fetal cardiac coupling suggests that maternal cardiovascular dynamics may also inform fetal hemodynamics. To computationally model these relationships, we propose a cross-modal generative framework combining dilated convolutions with cross-modal attention to selectively incorporate maternal ECG and self-attention to capture long-range temporal dependencies. Trained on 885 synchronized fetal/maternal ECG and Doppler envelope segments from 39 pregnancies, our model synthesizes Doppler envelopes with power spectral density mean squared error (PSD MSE) of 49.9 +/- 15.8 dB^2 (51% lower than two-channel baseline) and heart-rate error of 4.71 +/- 0.77 bpm (1.5% better than baseline; negligible relative to the 110-160 bpm physiological range). Cross-modal attention yields a 39% PSD MSE reduction over naive dual-channel concatenation, quantifying the contribution of maternal-fetal coupling. Our proposed framework advances computational modeling of the maternal-fetal cardiovascular system by enabling the synthesis of Doppler envelopes from dual-lead ECG. By analysis of both recoverable and residual Doppler components, this approach enables quantification of the purely mechanical contributions to Doppler waveforms -- those not recoverable from electrical recordings -- ultimately facilitating a more comprehensive fetal assessment.

Repository-level coding agents must first localize the files and symbols relevant to a task; failures at this stage can cascade across downstream objectives ranging from patch generation to test writing and codebase question answering. Existing agents navigate repositories primarily through lexical search, often missing structural relations such as imports, call chains, type hierarchies, and code-test links. Graph-based retrieval can recover such dependencies, but existing approaches often require separate graph tools or traversal stages that fragment the agent's interaction loop. We formalize repository context localization as Lexically Anchored Structural Localization, where success depends on turning lexical matches into high-precision structural entry points and exposing the most useful confidence-filtered local neighborhoods within the agent's existing search loop. We introduce LARGER (Lexically Anchored Repository Graph Exploration and Retrieval), a lexically anchored active-set retrieval framework that starts from lexical matches, aligns them to graph anchors, and performs confidence-filtered local expansion within the agent's existing search loop. LARGER integrates directly into existing CLI coding agents without requiring external graph databases or specialized graph interfaces. Across four benchmarks spanning localization, test generation, and codebase understanding, LARGER improves file-level Acc@5 on LocBench by +13.9 points with tuned hyperparameters and still gains +11.8 points with fixed hyperparameters over the strongest baseline, while delivering consistent gains on MuLocBench, SWE-Atlas Test Writing, and SWE-Atlas Codebase QA.
