Month: 2025-08 — MITIM-fusion: Focused on automation reliability and configuration robustness. Implemented a non-interactive handling policy for the query_yes_no prompt to prevent hangs in automated workflows, with auto-respond in non-interactive environments and explicit error signaling for non-interactive runs (notably under SLURM). Hardened MAESTRO namelist parsing to ensure eped_initializer uses the eped_beat namelist when available, corrected control-flow handling for different beat types, and ensured changes are properly saved. These improvements reduce manual intervention, improve reproducibility of simulations, and strengthen batch/CI execution.
