In November 2024, MITIM-fusion delivered stability-focused feature work, targeted bug fixes, and foundational work enabling longer-term integration and automation of research workflows. Key deliverables include workflow and PORTALS configuration enhancements that stabilize opt workflow, integrate PORTALS with non-default kwargs, add SLURM exclusivity to the config, and refine acquisition defaults; these changes improve automation reliability and experiment consistency. Early Maestro integration was kicked off, with TRANSP Globus run support validated and TORIC-related fixes continuing, establishing a foundation for broader orchestration across tools. The team also performed targeted maintenance and refactors (ASTRA-related changes under review) and completed test-suite cleanup (removing outdated EPED NN opt tests and renaming restart alias to cold_start) to improve test relevance and reliability. Extensive bug fixes touched critical areas including training trigger logic when BO_iterations = 0, initialization reading, namelist writing, globus handling, MAESTRO issue resolution, SLURM submitter stability, path handling, and misc cleanup, resulting in fewer failures and more deterministic runs. Supporting work strengthened core reliability and portability, with path resolution hardening (ExpandPath), environment-variable handling improvements, deterministic seeding, 8-thread test configuration, pickle protocol upgrade to 4 for MITIM, and generalization of Torch device handling and remote file retrieval. Overall impact: improved stability, reproducibility, and scalability of MITIM workflows, enabling more efficient research and easier future feature integration.
