February 2025 monthly summary for entity-toolkit/entity focusing on boundary physics and particle injection within the SR-PIC engine. Delivered groundwork and full implementation for perfect conductor boundary conditions, including type aliases, enum extensions, boundary kernels for E/B fields in 1D/2D/3D, and progressive refactoring toward templated, portable code with partial parallelization. Introduced initial single-particle injection support, updating particle initialization and boundary handling to accommodate injection of electrons/positrons. Stabilized and iterated on boundary code, addressing early broken attempts and moving toward a working ConductorBoundaries_kernel with improved correctness and incremental parallelization. Emphasized refactoring for maintainability and performance readiness; laid a solid foundation for higher-fidelity simulations and scalable runs.
