October 2025 performance summary for assume-framework/assume: Focused on reliability, correctness, and scalable model improvements across provisioning, testing, and forecasting. Delivered default database provisioning for new data sources (datasource.yml) to ensure consistent initial provisioning and updated Docker CLI usage guidance to align with newer Docker workflows, reducing setup friction for new sources. Expanded testing coverage for World interactions, unit calculations, and storage/power validation, including the ability to add existing units to the world, which increases confidence in model behavior and regression safety. Strengthened physical modeling and configuration correctness with mandated negative min/max power for demand units and robust unit parameter validations to prevent invalid configurations. Improved data modeling and forecasting workflows with None-based ramp handling for storage (unlimited ramps) and standardization of forecasting time index using FastIndex, enabling safer extensions and clearer performance analytics. Also introduced a strategy compatibility framework (MinMaxStrategy and MinMaxChargeStrategy) to ensure consistent bidding behavior during unit initialization and operation.
