Chemical disequilibrium signatures—simultaneous detection of molecules that would not coexist at equilibrium (e.g., CH4 + O2 + CO2 with minimal CO)—require SNR of 10-100x better than current JWST data to confirm biogenic origin

vf_a7b1f88f3cd9c9e4CH4 context detection is one strategy to rule out abiotic O2; detecting CH4 at high SNR constrains photochemical models that would predict O2 abiotic levels
