From ae6b1aa1b8f18d71a43dc1b3a14fdc1ce4f06f12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Louis Moresi Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 09:27:16 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 01/22] =?UTF-8?q?docs:=20the=20timestepping=20pattern=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20keep=20the=20clock=20on=20model.tracker?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Every time-dependent script needs a clock, and there is no documented pattern for where to keep it. Scripts keep it in a local variable, which is silently wrong the moment anyone snapshots. model.tracker is captured by save_state and reverted by load_state; a loose Python variable is not. So a script that backsteps gets its fields restored and its time left in the future, with nothing raised. Measured on a five-step run: after restoring a snapshot taken at t = 1140, a loose t still read 2280 while the fields were correctly back at 1140. Adds a "The Timestepping Pattern" section to the script guide: the loop shape, the backstepping recipe, why the snapshot goes BEFORE the operator (a DDt shifts its history post-solve), and the note that restoring is bit-exact where re-running is not. Also records a live gap. mesh.t is a separate symbolic atom bound to PETSc's petsc_t, which the high-level solve() wrappers never set, so an expression containing it evaluates to ZERO inside a solve and solve(time=...) is accepted and ignored. A boundary condition written as sin(omega * mesh.t) — the usage mesh.t's own docstring advertises — is identically zero and nothing warns. Added as an xfail alongside the tracker tests, with a constant-source control so the assertion cannot pass for the wrong reason; it starts passing the day mesh.t resolves to the model clock, per the #410 ruling.

Declaring the model on the first line puts the units decision at the only point where it can still be made, and estimate_dt() then returns a dimensional quantity so the clock carries units with no extra work. Neither the model nor the units are enforced today; both arrived after much of the surrounding code. The pattern is written as though they were, since that is where this has to end up. Records the gap that stands in the way. An in-memory snapshot round-trips a units-carrying tracker entry correctly, but the on-disk snapshot does not: a pint Quantity falls through disk_snapshot's "unserialisable type" branch, is recorded as __skipped, and is simply ABSENT after load_state, so reading it afterwards raises. Nothing warns at save time; plain floats, ints and numpy arrays are unaffected. So the very entry the pattern asks for is the one a restart loses. Added as an xfail with a plain-float control, so it cannot pass for the wrong reason and cannot be mistaken for a broken tracker or a broken file. A Quantity is (magnitude, units) and is trivially serialisable.

Nothing warned at save time. This bit the timestepping pattern directly. With reference quantities set, estimate_dt() returns a dimensional quantity, so the natural clock on model.tracker is dimensional — and that was exactly the entry a restart lost, while plain floats beside it survived. A quantity is a magnitude and a unit, so it stores as `__magnitude` + `__units`. The magnitude goes back through the ordinary dispatch, so a scalar lands in an attribute and an array in a dataset and both round-trip. Detection is duck-typed on magnitude/units because uw.quantity returns a UWQuantity, which is NOT a pint.Quantity subclass, so an isinstance test against either would miss the other. _group_to_dict re-pairs the two halves in a post-pass, since the tracker's managed entries arrive as a dict subgroup and the halves come from different loops. The DDt state is unaffected: it stores dt and dt_history non-dimensionally as plain floats, so the list-of-quantities case does not arise there. Tests: the xfail is now a passing test, plus an array-magnitude case. 140 passed in the test_00[0-4]* batch.

An expression containing it evaluated to ZERO inside every solve, silently, and solve(time=...) was accepted and ignored — so a time-dependent boundary condition, the usage mesh.t's own docstring advertises, was identically zero and nothing warned. Implements the #410 ruling rather than repairing the PETSc plumbing, which that ruling records as tried and failed. mesh.t is now a live-rampable constants[] atom carrying the clock owned by the orchestration model, and Mesh._sync_time_from_model repacks it from model.tracker.time. The hook is the solver's _update_constants, which is the single choke point already called before every solve, so no kernel is recompiled per timestep and no solver needed its own hook. A dimensional clock is non-dimensionalised on the way in. The prerequisite the ruling names — constants baked as C literals, #302 — was measured and is satisfied: an atom now ramps in every position a clock occupies, bare, linear, inside a transcendental, and in exponent position. The planning file's separate "exponent position does not ramp" report does not reproduce; the likely explanation is that building the expression with the atom at zero lets sympy fold the power away, so the atom is compiled out and can never ramp afterwards. That is a property of the starting value, not of exponent position. Also fixes a defect this exposed. The source setter's .value/.units duck-test for a dimensional quantity matches a UWexpression too, which is a symbolic atom rather than a plain quantity, so `poisson.f = ` baked a rampable constant to a literal at assignment. UWQuantity and pint Quantity are not sympy objects and UWexpression is, which separates them. Tests: the two xfails are now passing tests, covering a time-dependent source and a time-dependent boundary condition (assembled through a different residual path), each asserting the solution TRACKS the clock rather than merely being non-zero; plus the bare-atom regression. 145 passed in test_00[0-4]*/test_0103*, 211 in test_01*/test_02*.

It is also the ordered half of an adjoint tape, which snapshots already supply the state half of. Solvers report through _update_constants, the one place every solver passes before solving, so one hook records them all in order. Recording is a no-op outside a step block, so nothing is required of a script that does not use one, and steps do not nest.

If a nested atom is later ramped so that it depends on position again, the compiled kernel still reads a scalar there — and _pack_constants silently packed 0.0 into it. That is the failure behind the "rampable constant in exponent position does not ramp" report, and the mechanism is not what the report assumed. The atom is NOT compiled out. `(1 + T**2)**(-m) + 1` is the NUMBER 2 while m is zero, so the whole diffusivity banks as ONE constant and the collector stops there without recursing to m. Ramp m and the expression depends on T again; the slot can no longer be reduced, and the solve receives a zero diffusivity. Measured: packed 2.0 at m=0, then 0.0 at m=0.5 and m=1.0, with a DIVERGED_LINEAR_SOLVE and a zero answer, and nothing said why. Now it raises, naming the slot, showing its current content, and giving the two lines that force a rebuild. Verified that the prescribed recovery works and that the atom then ramps. Note for anyone reading the collector: a zero-valued constant is NOT the problem, and constants are not folded away. `_reveal_constants`, which the cache key uses, keeps `3*c` and `x**(-c)` symbolic at c = 0.0, and a constant compiled while holding zero ramps correctly through the source-term path in every position tried. The hazard is the ENCLOSING expression collapsing to a number, not the atom vanishing. Distinct from #708, which shares the trigger but not the mechanism: there the victim is a raw zero history matrix, so no slot exists to lose and the term is arithmetically absent. Populating before compiling is the right fix there. 326 passed in test_00[0-4]*/test_01*.

Verified that replaying a rewound step from its own snapshot reproduces it BIT-FOR-BIT, where re-running the script does not — warm starts and preconditioner reuse are solver history outside model state, so two independent runs diverge at 1e-13 from the first step. That asymmetry is the whole argument for playback over re-running: a step that misbehaved can actually be looked at twice. The clock comes back with the fields because it lives on the tracker and the tracker is captured with everything else. That was the point of putting it there. Retention is a policy: tape_every chooses how often, tape_limit how many to keep. Old steps lose their snapshot and KEEP their journal record, so the account of what happened outlives the state it happened to. Snapshots run about 13 bytes per primary dof per step, so on a large mesh the memory, not the time, is the constraint — taping costs 0.5 ms against a multi-second step. On a mesh that deforms or adapts the snapshot cannot be taken at all yet, so the run warns once, keeps journalling, and says rewind will not reach those steps. That is the mesh-rebuild-on-restore gap, not this change's to fix. Also documents the .sym pitfall the session turned up: to change a value set .sym, never rebind the name. .value and .data are derived read-only views, and rebinding leaves every expression still pointing at the old atom with its old value, silently. 154 passed in test_00[0-4]*.

A history manager must advance exactly once per model step. Call a solver twice inside one step — a corrector, a Picard iteration on a coupled system, a retry — and its history shifts twice, so the physical step is taken twice. Measured earlier: the field advanced a further 3.6e-2 while n_solves_completed (capped at order) and dt_history looked identical to a single step. Nothing in the library could see it. Each flavour now notes its shift where the shift actually happens, on the line that writes dt into the history, so the record says which history moved rather than only that a solver ran: history_shift:EulerianSUPG(T) -> solve:SNES_Stokes(V)> The history is named for the field it TRACKS, not for its psi_star slot, whose generated name tells a reader nothing. Six flavours, six one-line calls, at an anchor that IS the shift. A no-op outside a model.step block, so nothing is required of a script that does not open one, and the ordinary one-solve-per-step loop is silent — asserted, so the guard cannot start crying wolf unnoticed. 372 passed across test_00[0-4]*, test_01*, test_02*.

Change the free solve afterwards and they keep the old values, with no warning. Measured: viscosity 1000 on the free solve against 1 on both derived ones, body force -5 against -1, tolerance 1e-11 against 1e-6. That is a wrong answer rather than a crash. `h_inf` — the equilibrium the surface relaxes toward — is recovered from the HELD solve's constraint reaction, so the surface would relax toward an equilibrium computed with stale rheology and stale buoyancy while the free solve you are watching uses the new ones. `solve()` now checks first and refuses, naming what drifted and saying that the Stokes solver must be configured before the manager is built. The comparison is against what copying the parameter TODAY would produce, applying the same velocity rebinding `_copy_constitutive_model` applies. A nonlinear rheology is deliberately rebound onto each derived solver's own unknowns, so those expressions are MEANT to differ textually — the first version of this guard failed the existing nonlinear-viscosity test for exactly that reason, which is what the test is for. `held_bg` is exempt: it exists to carry a different body force, and its rheology is covered through `held`. So is `held`'s body force when a driving_buoyancy was supplied, since that is deliberately not the free solve's. Two negative controls in the tests: an untouched manager solves, and a parameter whose value is an expression over mesh variables still tracks when the FIELD changes — symbolic sharing is correct, only re-assignment drifts. test_1074 added to scripts/test.sh beside test_1072; the test_107* group is not otherwise batched and would never have run.

A snapshot round trip multiplied the mesh coordinates by the length scale. `mesh.X.coords` is the unit-aware view and returns metres once a model declares a length scale; the DM coordinate vector `_deform_mesh` writes back into holds model units. Capture took the first and restore wrote the second, so a 500 km box came back 250,000,000 km across. Nothing raised: shapes matched and every field was restored correctly, so only the geometry was wrong. The visible symptom is that `uw.function.evaluate` starts returning the value at one corner for every sample point, because every sample point is now outside the domain — and it compounds on each restore. `model.rewind()` goes straight through that path, which is how it surfaced. The swarm path is unaffected: it captures and restores the raw `DMSwarmPIC_coor` field, not the unit-aware view. `model.clear_journal()` is new. A driver that runs the same model many times — an inversion, a parameter sweep, a restart — needs each run to have its own account. Without it the journal is the concatenation of every run the process has done, and `rewind()` walks back into the previous one. tests/test_0012_snapshot_units_coords.py covers the coordinate round trip, the compounding, the evaluate symptom, and the rewind path.

The buoyancy is written as a force in the units it has, so the Rayleigh number falls out of the nondimensionalisation instead of being typed in. After the loop it demonstrates, in order, the four things the record buys: the journal, a rejected step that leaves the clock where it was, a bit-exact replay, and the invariant catching a step that was taken twice. Writing it found two ways the record did not match what happened. The journal counted one operator as two. The hook lives in _update_constants, which every solver passes on its way to a solve — except that the rotated free-slip loop pushes constants a second time for its own assembly, after the public solve() has already announced the solver. So a Stokes solve on a curved boundary recorded twice, in a journal whose whole value is that it says what ran. _update_constants now takes record=False for a setup push. estimate_dt() lost its units under the pattern's own idiom. `dt = fraction * solver.estimate_dt()` came back as a bare float whenever the estimate was a Python float rather than a numpy scalar: np.squeeze promoted it to a 0-d array, and a dimensionalised array is a UnitAwareArray, which drops units under arithmetic. The guard for exactly this already existed in _dimensionalise_dt but sat on the no-units branch. AdvDiffusion's accuracy estimate hit it; Stokes's did not, so the two disagreed. tests/test_0013_step_record_fidelity.py covers both, plus the case the de-duplication must not hide: a solver genuinely called twice in one step is still recorded twice.

A true log records the backtracks, so rewind() and a bare load_state() each write their own line — a log that shows step 3, then step 3 again with nothing in between, is not a log of what happened. rewind writes the more specific note and suppresses the generic one. Four other things reach the file that the in-memory journal does not keep: an abandoned step, a step aged out by journal_limit, an invariant complaint (now also an event on the step, so it survives the terminal the run happened to have), and everything up to a kill. ModelStep gains `wall`, the seconds the block took. Not physics, but the number you want when watching: a step that suddenly takes ten times as long is the first sign of a solver in trouble. A `.jsonl` / `.ndjson` / `.json` suffix, or `model.journal_format = "jsonl"`, writes the same record as one JSON object per line for parsing, read back with `uw.read_journal`. JSON lines rather than YAML because one self-contained record per line is the point: a killed run leaves a truncated final line that FAILS to parse, so the reader drops it and keeps everything before, where a half-written YAML mapping frequently still parses as a real record with its last key missing. YAML stays the right format for a document written once and edited by hand, which is what Model.to_yaml uses it for. The two formats differ deliberately. Text is a report: one time column in one unit, named in the header. JSON is a record: every value keeps the units the run actually held it in. Also: an abandoned step no longer retains the snapshot it captured. Nothing can reach it — the record never joins the journal — so it was field-sized memory pinned until the traceback was collected. tests/test_0014_journal_file.py, 17 tests. Suite: 1810 passed.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A green-on-black terminal is not where a run belongs in a paper. `uw.journal_diagram` writes the record as a standalone SVG and `uw.journal_flowchart` renders one step's operator flow as Mermaid. Both take a live model, a .jsonl log, or the list read_journal returns. The SVG is written directly: no plotting library, no rasterisation, nothing fetched at render time, and a print-safe palette that separates in greyscale. It shows dt per step in the order things happened, backtracks as arcs over the bars, a wall-clock strip, and abandoned steps hatched. The dt axis switches to log when the range exceeds 20x and says so — a rejected step is often tens of times the accepted ones, which IS why it was rejected, and on a linear axis it flattens everything else to nothing. The layout decision worth stating: the operator sequence is drawn ONCE when every step shares it, and only the steps that differ are called out. A hundred identical rows tell you nothing; a hundred identical rows and one that differs tell you everything, but only if the identical ones are not in the way. The Mermaid renderer does the same thing with subgraphs. read_journal now also collects the non-step records — the backtracks — and notes where in the sequence each happened, since a rewind means nothing without the step it interrupted and the step it went back to. A text log handed to read_journal is refused with the one line that fixes it: the text format converts the time column to one unit and drops each event's detail, so it is a report and cannot be read back. Also: an invariant flag no longer appears in the text log's operator column. It is a flag on the step, not an operator the step applied, so it belongs beside the outcome. tests/test_0015_journal_report.py, 15 tests, including that nothing is drawn outside the canvas and that a long sequence wraps rather than running off the page. Suite: 1825 passed.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit SVG is awkward to open on a Mac outside a browser, and the landscape figure was too wide for a document column. Both fixed by turning the layout ninety degrees: time now runs DOWN the page, one row per step, A4 portrait, paginated. `journal_diagram` writes a PDF by default — directly, no plotting library, no rasterisation, nothing installed. Base-14 fonts, Flate-compressed content streams, a real cross-reference table, and pagination that repeats the column captions. `.svg` still works; it is one continuous page instead. Each row is the step index, the clock, dt as a number and as a bar, a wall-clock tick, and ONE LETTER. The letters are the layout: each distinct operator sequence gets one, defined once at the foot of the figure. A column of A with a single B in it says at a glance that one step did something different, where a hundred spelled-out sequences say nothing and hide the one that matters. Backtracks are drawn in the left gutter as an arrow from the step that ended back up to the step it returned to. One layout now feeds two writers through a small op list, so the SVG and the PDF are the same figure rather than two drawings that drift apart. Fixed while turning it: a backtrack was drawn onto whichever page the cursor had reached rather than the page its rows are on, so on a paginated run every arrow landed on the last page. One that reaches back past a page break now says so where it happened instead of drawing a line to a row that is not there. An abandoned bar is also capped short of the wall column, since it is usually the longest on the page — that being why it was abandoned — and has to leave room for the word that says so. tests/test_0015_journal_report.py now 21 tests, including that the PDF's xref offsets actually point at their objects (a table that lies makes an unopenable file), that a long run paginates, and that no plotting library is imported to draw. Suite: 1831 passed.

They are now the path itself: a dashed arrow UP from the step the run bailed out of to the step whose state it returned to, then a solid arrow DOWN from there to the row that takes that step again, labelled "again". The pair is what makes a repeated step index read as a repeat rather than a typo. Three things had to be fixed for that to be drawable. read_journal resolved a backtrack's target by the FIRST row with the matching step index. After a rewind an index appears more than once, so it must search backwards from where the note fired. A bare load_state names no step at all — it is now located by the clock value the note recorded, and left unresolved (with the arrow saying only where it happened) when no recorded step ended there. Two calls that make the same jump — a load_state and then a rewind to the same place — are one backtrack in the run's story. They are grouped into one arrow, labelled by the last call, since that is the one that set where the run ended up; their two labels were otherwise printing on top of each other. The gutter was too narrow for its own labels, so a label ran off the left edge. Widened, and the PDF writer maps the ellipsis and arrows rather than turning them into '?'. Separately: the invariant's advice was wrong. It said "only the last call should carry the timestep", which does not help — a history advances on every solve, and omitting the timestep reuses the last value rather than skipping the shift. There is no "solve without advancing" switch, so a corrector or a Picard iteration has to save and restore the DDt state between passes. The warning and the guide now say that, with the three lines that do it. The guide also now states what the figure's two columns mean, because the letter column was misread: `seq` is what the step RAN, `ok`/`abandoned` is whether it was KEPT. They are independent — the abandoned step here ran the ordinary sequence and was rejected by a check in the script. tests/test_0014 +3, tests/test_0015 +5, including that a repeated step index resolves to the most recent, that a restore is placed by its clock, and that the PDF contains no replacement characters.

The relation is a value stored by one action in one cycle and picked up by a read in the next — which is where every silent defect found while building this machinery lived, #423 included. Names the two documents a run has: the SCORE, what it is supposed to do, and the TRANSCRIPT, what it actually did including the abandoned bars and the re-takes. Both already exist unnamed — the figure's operator-sequence legend is an inferred score and the rows are the transcript — which makes the motivating question mechanical: 'is the model doing the scientific task you say it is' becomes a diff of one against the other. Borrows the vocabulary that goes with them (bar, beat, part, note, rest, tuplet, tie, tempo) because each term carries a convention worth keeping: rests are compulsory, so silence is distinguishable from not-being-watched; a tuplet is bracketed with its ratio, so sub-cycling is notated as ordinary rather than flagged; a tie is drawn across the barline, which is the cross-cycle relation as notation rather than as two marks to associate. Records what that makes checkable, that reads are derivable symbolically while writes come from hooks already in place, and the three things missing: barriers are not events, rests are not recorded, and a bar is not necessarily an interval although model.step(dt) insists that it is.

Two kinds: *actors* (solvers, swarm pushes, mesh movers) and *state-holders* (DDt histories, fields, particle coordinates). | +| **note** | what a part did in a bar, carrying its own duration — its `dt`, which need not be the bar's. | +| **rest** | notated absence. Distinguishes *did nothing this bar* from *was not being watched*. | +| **tuplet** | n notes in the space of the bar, bracketed with the ratio.

A + part that does nothing is written as a rest, never left blank. + +## Why two dimensions + +Different parts advance on different `dt`. A swarm may sub-cycle twice for one +Stokes solve; two histories on the same field may be at different orders. Those +cannot be laid on one axis without pretending they share a clock — which is the +failure being looked for. + +So: **parts across the page, bars down the page.** Vertical is ordinal, not +time. A part whose accumulated time drifts away from its neighbours' is then a +visible misalignment rather than something you would have to instrument for. + +## What the notation makes checkable + +Each check is a reading of the notation rather than a separate assertion: + +| reading | defect | +|---|---| +| a tie with no note at its head | a read of uninitialised history | +| two notes tied into one read | the physical step taken twice | +| a tuplet whose ratio does not fill its bar | sub-cycling that fails to tile the interval | +| a tie crossing a beat that carries a barrier, with nothing re-expressing it | the `old_frame_traceback` class (#423) | +| transcript ≠ score | the model is not doing what the script says | + +The second of those matters for how the current implementation should evolve. +`ModelStep._check_invariants` asserts "a history must advance exactly once per +bar", which is a crude proxy: it would fire on legitimate sub-cycling. Derived +from the notation, the rule is the honest one — **the notes in a bar tile its +interval exactly once** — and sub-cycling satisfies it. + +## Where reads and writes come from + +Feasibility, because this is the part that decides whether the model is +buildable: + +- **Writes** come from the runtime hooks already in place: the unknown after a + solve, `psi_star[i]` in `update_post_solve`, particle coordinates after an + advection. +- **Reads** are derivable *symbolically*. A solve's residual is a SymPy form, + so the variables it depends on are in `F0` / `F1`'s atoms. This is how the + discrete adjoint obtained `∂F/∂ψ*` at all. No kernel instrumentation. + +Within one solve, reads and writes are not ordered — the kernel reads +`psi_star` throughout the Newton iteration — so the edge is *write → solve*, +not write → instant. The cell is atomic; the meaning is in the edges between +cells. That is exactly where the cross-cycle relation lives, so the limitation +does not bite. + +## What is missing today + +Everything above except two items is a renaming of something already captured, +which is a reasonable sign the vocabulary fits rather than being imposed. + +1. **Barriers are not events.** `_deform_mesh` does not declare itself, so + there is no beat to draw the rule at — and the check that most wants the + barrier (#423) has no anchor without it. +2. **Rests are not recorded.** A part that does nothing in a bar simply does + not appear, so silence and absence are indistinguishable. + +A third, smaller: **a bar is not necessarily an interval, and `model.step(dt)` +insists that it is.** The signature requires a `dt`, so there is no container +for "the next task". If the event clock is the general thing, the timestep is +the common case rather than the definition. + +## Inferred score, then declared score + +The score is **inferred** today — the figure takes the most common bar as the +norm.

So `record_every`, `record_limit` and `_record_step_event` are unchanged, and prose says "recorded" where it is the action and "transcript" where it is the object. The one place the two were confused — a warning that said a run "keeps journalling" — now says "keeps recording". The text log's header reads "# underworld3 run transcript" rather than "# underworld3 step log".

Four things were wrong with it. It claimed more authority than it had. A class invariant must hold; this was a heuristic about usage, and one already known to be wrong — a swarm that sub-cycles advances its history legitimately more than once. It was at the wrong layer. What knows a step was taken twice is the dataflow — two writes, one read — not the container the step happens to provide. It could only see one bar, and the check that matters most cannot be seen from one. The free-surface instability in #423 is a history recorded in the old frame and read after the mesh moved, growing ~10% per cycle: its signature IS the growth rate, so no per-step rule could ever catch it. A warning is a poor channel. It fires in the hot loop at the moment the user may be doing something deliberate, and the remedy it offered was wrong the first time it was written. So the line now falls between STRUCTURAL checks — is the transcript well-formed? a step cannot nest; a rewind cannot reach a bar that kept no snapshot — which stay in the loop and raise, and FINDINGS — does what was recorded look wrong? — which belong to a pass over a finished transcript. That pass can look across bars, can be re-run on an old transcript when a new pathology is learned, and never has to decide mid-run whether something was deliberate. The recording is unchanged: a history shift is still an event, both shifts of a doubled step are still in the transcript, in order. What goes is the judgement. The `invariant` event kind, the warning, and the figure's `!` marker and "Invariant" section go with it; the renderers ignore any such event an older transcript may carry. The annulus example's fourth demonstration becomes "a step taken twice" and reports the two shifts without claiming they are wrong. The guide's "What the transcript checks" becomes "Recording, not judging", and keeps the one piece of practical advice that is still true: a history advances on every solve whether or not the call passed a timestep, so a corrector has to save and restore the DDt state — which is a gap in the library, not a rule the user broke. The design note records the ruling and the reasoning. Suite: 1839 passed.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The account is only worth having on the run you did not prepare for. Requiring `transcript_file` to be set defeated the case it exists for: you turn it on after the run that went strange, by which point the thing you wanted is gone. A run that takes a step now lands in transcripts/2026-09-11T14-32-05-my_model/ my_model.py the script that launched it, verbatim launch.json argv, interpreter, cwd, version, commit transcript.log one aligned line per step, flushed The stamp is the point: the run you want is the one from this morning, and a fixed filename would have overwritten it. A directory rather than loose files because a working directory full of logs and script copies invites mass deletion, which loses the one you needed. `launch.json` is the honest answer to reproducibility. A programmatic launcher cannot be made reproducible by fiat, but what was ACTUALLY RUN can be written down: the command line, the interpreter, the working directory, the package version, and the commit id with a dirty flag when cwd is under version control. Only the entry script is copied — anything it imports is not — and the file says so rather than leaving the reader to discover it. Three things make the default tolerable, each covered by a test: - NOTHING IS CREATED UNTIL THE FIRST STEP OPENS. An import, or a script that only builds a mesh, leaves no trace. A transcript is about a run, and a run is a sequence of steps. - OFF UNDER PYTEST. 1800 tests should not each leave a directory. - SWITCHABLE. `transcript_file = None` turns it off; an explicit path bypasses the stamped directory entirely and gets no launch record, because a path the user named is a file they asked for, not a place to put things; `UW_TRANSCRIPT=off` or `UW_TRANSCRIPT=/scratch/runs` covers a session. Found while building it, and silent: `PrivateAttr` DEEP-COPIES its default, so a bare `object()` sentinel for "the user has not said where this goes" came back as a DIFFERENT object per model and every identity check against it failed. It is now a copy-stable sentinel class. Nine tests in test_0014: the stamped directory, the no-step case, two runs not overwriting each other, the copied script and its manifest, the interactive case, the explicit path, both off switches, and the pytest suppression. Suite: 1848 passed.
