Apr 1, 2025April 2025 focused on stabilizing core loops, enabling new phonon dynamics, and laying groundwork for reusable utilities. Key stability fixes prevent infinite loops in transport and edge computations, with iteration guards and updated step sizing. Introduced Phonon particle state changes and initial G4CMPSolidUtils module to centralize solid utilities. Strengthened boundary handling and touchable update signaling for consistent state propagation. Enhanced PR hygiene, documentation, and build/test scaffolding to support maintainability and faster integration of future features. These efforts improve simulation reliability, reduce crashes, and accelerate future feature delivery while enabling more accurate phonon dynamics and modular code.

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 focused on strengthening boundary accuracy and configurability in G4CMP to improve simulation fidelity and maintainability. Key features delivered include: improved edge reflection accuracy for G4CMPPhononBoundaryProcess with robust handling of edge cases and averaged normals, and safeguards against unwanted reflections; added macro-command based configurability for phonon surface step size and reflection limits to enable runtime tuning; enhanced boundary detection for track escaping via TrackLimiter to better model specular reflections. These changes reduce spurious reflections and increase simulation fidelity, while providing teams with practical knobs to balance accuracy and performance. The work demonstrates proficiency in C++ boundary processing, macro command integration, and code quality practices (merge conflict resolution, PR responsiveness).
