Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for google-deepmind/torax: Delivered a set of stability, cleanup, and data-model improvements that enhance reliability, maintainability, and scalability of IMAS integrations, while advancing practical business value through cleaner APIs and consistent data handling. Key features delivered include dependency simplifications and IDs loading improvements; module restructuring to imas_tools; geometry-to-imas improvements with a move to the face grid and proper thermal pressure mapping; API input restructuring for equilibrium_object; consolidating simulation preparation into a single, reusable method; and a version bump for IMAS-Python 2.0.1. In addition, substantial tooling and quality improvements were implemented, including Google-style isort/pyink configurations and CI linting.
