May 1, 2025May 2025 summary for PlasmaControl/DESC: Implemented stability-focused enhancements in BoundaryError by introducing finite_pressure, refactoring pressure term inclusion, and adding unit tests for kinetic profiles; delivered robust geometry improvements for Fourier planar curves, including a safe arccosine utility, edge-case fixes, and bug fixes in anti-parallel coil orientation, plus test improvements and final cleanup (including changelog updates). Updated documentation and data/config assets to reflect master_compute_data changes and fix typos. These changes improve runtime reliability of pressure-driven simulations, strengthen geometric computations under edge conditions, and improve developer velocity through better tests and up-to-date data assets.

Apr 1, 2025Monthly summary for PlasmaControl/DESC - 2025-04. Key features delivered: - BallooningStability: added jac_chunk_size option to control Jacobian chunking, enabling scalable handling of larger models. - Vacuum and NESTOR objectives added to the optimization suite, enabling targeted performance goals. - Linear_constraint_options added to solver/config to support richer constraint modeling. - Expanded test suite: Fourier XY curve tests, coil tests, updated example tests; test tolerance increased to improve reliability. - Documentation and API improvements: update units/docs, clarified mode docstrings, and API naming consistency improvements (nonnegint -> posint; n0 -> no n=0). Major bugs fixed: - Transform indexing fixes for FFT with n0 symmetry; removed offset from transform FFT index to ensure correct results. - Warn when ignoring n=0 mode to prevent silent failures. - Add missing jac_chuck_size to avoid errors in Jacobian chunking. - Fix bugs in planar curves from_values conversion. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Achieved more robust and scalable numerical workflows, broader modeling capabilities, and safer APIs, reducing post-release defects and support overhead. Strengthened test coverage and documentation to accelerate maintenance and onboarding. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Python, numerical optimization, FFT indexing, Jacobian chunking, test automation, documentation and changelog maintenance, and API usability improvements.
