May 1, 2025May 2025 performance: Focused on developer enablement and documentation quality for core optimization components in hiddenSymmetries/simsopt. Delivered a comprehensive documentation overhaul across ConstrainedProblem, BoozerSurface, MagneticField, MGrid, and to_mgrid, with refined mathematical formulations, improved input/output specifications, and expanded usage guidance. Established foundational developer resources through a Derivative Tutorial and a new Developer Guides section, significantly reducing onboarding time for new contributors and end-users. Updated MGrid and to_mgrid docs with new citations and clarified usage (including removing previous limits on current-group counts), and performed post-review fixes to ensure accuracy. These changes improve usability, reduce user error, and enhance maintainability and adoption of the optimization components.
