SCPN Fusion Core v3.9.2 — QLKNN Surrogate + Benchmark Pipeline

[3.9.2] — 2026-02-27

Added — QLKNN-10D Transport Surrogate

• QLKNN-10D training pipeline: hybrid-log loss, physics-informed delta learning, chi_gb² sample weighting, Ti/Te and Nustar features
• B8 model promoted: test_rel_l2 = 0.0943 (1024×512×256 MLP), passes 0.10 verification gate
• 14-lane benchmark collector (validation/collect_results.py): equilibrium, transport, disruption, FNO, SNN latency, SCPN end-to-end, multi-ion conservation, EPED domain, uncertainty envelope, disruption replay, HIL stress, pretrained surrogates, heating-neutronics, controller campaign

Fixed

• Vacuum test: _seed_plasma early return + solve_equilibrium short-circuit for zero plasma current
• CI stress test: install pytest-timeout, handle exit code 5 (no tests collected)
• Claims manifest: removed 3 orphaned README claims, fixed FNO evidence path to fno_jax_training.py
• Claims evidence map test updated for current manifest

Changed

• RESULTS.md regenerated with fresh benchmark numbers from all 14 lanes
• Version refs synced across competitive_analysis.md, STREAMLIT_DEMO_PLAYBOOK.md
• Benchmark reports refreshed (EPED, multi-ion, latency)

CI

• 15/15 green (5 Rust + 4 Python + 6 validation/smoke gates)
• Release preflight: 16/16 gates pass locally
• Release acceptance checklist: 8/8 ready

SCPN Fusion Core v3.9.1 — Rust 0.52μs + QLKNN-10D Real-Data Benchmarks

Highlights

• Rust-PID controller at 0.52 μs P50 — 6,600x faster than Python PID (3,431 μs), validated on 1,000-shot stress-test ensemble
• 5-controller benchmark campaign: PID, H-infinity, NMPC-JAX, Nengo-SNN, Rust-PID — all with latency/disruption/reward metrics
• Rust transport delegation: Chang-Hinton chi → 4.7x speedup, Sauter bootstrap current → 13.1x speedup with transparent Python fallback
• NumPy vectorized transport kernels: _gyro_bohm_chi, _explicit_diffusion_rhs, _build_cn_tridiag — all Python for-loops replaced with array ops
• Caching quick wins: gyro-Bohm coefficient singleton, volume element cache, EpedPedestalModel reuse
• 11/11 physics benchmarks pass with reproducible results

SCPN Fusion Core v3.9.0 — QLKNN-10D Real-Data Training Pipeline

Highlights

This release introduces the complete pipeline for retraining all ML surrogates on real gyrokinetic data (QLKNN-10D, 300M QuaLiKiz flux calculations), replacing the synthetic training data that produced misleading metrics.

Added — QLKNN-10D Real-Data Training Pipeline

• Data Acquisition (tools/download_qlknn10d.py): Downloads QLKNN-10D from Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3497066) with SHA256 verification and resume support
• Data Pipeline (tools/qlknn10d_to_npz.py): HDF5 → training .npz with column mapping, gyro-Bohm → physical conversion, regime classification (ITG/TEM/stable), stratified 90/5/5 splits
• MLP Training (tools/train_neural_transport_qlknn.py): JAX trainer with verification gates — refuses to save weights if test_relative_l2 >= 0.05
• FNO Spatial Data (tools/generate_fno_qlknn_spatial.py): Trained MLP as oracle for (equilibrium, transport_field) pairs
• FNO Training (tools/train_fno_qlknn_spatial.py): JAX FNO targeting relative L2 < 0.10 (was 0.79 on synthetic data)
• GPU Diagnostic (tools/check_gpu.py): JAX GPU, PyTorch CUDA, and Rust wgpu availability
• Validation Suite (validation/validate_transport_qlknn.py): Per-output and per-regime metrics vs published benchmarks

Added — Architecture Improvements

• Variable-Depth MLP Loader: neural_transport.py auto-detects depth from .npz keys, backward compatible
• GELU Activation: Hidden layers use GELU (matching JAX/PyTorch training convention)
• GPU Optional Dependency: pip install scpn-fusion[gpu] installs jax[cuda12]

Fixed

• Removed inflated FNO claims ("0.9997 TGLF correlation", "98% suppression efficiency") from all documentation
• Fixed corrupted UTF-16 entries in .gitignore
• validation/collect_results.py reads actual metrics instead of hardcoding values
• Hardened sync_metadata.py to catch all version reference files

SCPN Fusion Core v3.3.0 — Multi-Ion Transport, Coil Optimization, Physics Invariants

v3.3.0 — Phase 1+2+3: Multi-Ion Transport, Coil Optimization, Physics Invariants, Publication Wave

Highlights

• Multi-ion transport (P1.1): D/T/He-ash/impurity species arrays with independent Te evolution. Coronal equilibrium radiation (Pütterich 2010 tungsten fit), Bremsstrahlung per cell, He-ash pumping with configurable tau_He. Backward-compatible via multi_ion=False default.

SCPN Fusion Core v3.1.0 — Phase 0 Physics Hardening

Summary

Phase 0 of the v3.1.0 roadmap: kill remaining physics blockers identified in team review.

P0.1 — TBR Realism

• Port-coverage factor (0.80), streaming factor (0.85), blanket-fill factor applied to volumetric and 3-group blanket TBR
• Corrected TBR now in Fischer/DEMO range [1.0, 1.4] (was ideal 1.67)
• tbr_ideal field preserved for reference

P0.2 — Q-Scan Greenwald & Temperature Limits

• Greenwald density limit: n_GW = I_p / (pi * a^2) — points above 1.2x n_GW skipped
• Temperature hard cap at 25 keV with warning emission
• Q ceiling at 15 (was unbounded, producing Q=98 artifacts)

P0.6 — Energy Conservation Enforcement

• Per-timestep conservation diagnostic after Crank-Nicolson solve
• _last_conservation_error attribute for inspection
• Optional enforce_conservation=True raises PhysicsError if error > 1%

P0.3 — Dashboard Auto-Flagging + Plots

• THRESHOLDS dict in rmse_dashboard.py with PASS/WARN/FAIL auto-flags
• Summary table at top of rendered markdown
• Matplotlib scatter plots (tau_E, beta_N) and bar charts (axis error)

P0.4 — CI Gate Hardening

• Disruption FPR promoted from soft warn to hard fail (threshold 0.15)
• TBR gate: fail if outside [1.0, 1.4]
• Q gate: fail if Q_peak > 15

P0.5 — Issue Templates

• feature_request.md and bug_report.md converted to YAML form format
• Mandatory "Physics Reference" field (required: true) with DOI/arXiv + equation number

Test Results

• 24 new tests across 3 test classes (TBR correction, Q-scan limits, energy conservation)
• 1141 total tests passing (57 skipped, 1 pre-existing stochastic failure unrelated)

Files Changed

• src/scpn_fusion/nuclear/blanket_neutronics.py — correction factors
• src/scpn_fusion/core/fusion_ignition_sim.py — Greenwald, T cap, Q ceiling
• src/scpn_fusion/core/integrated_transport_solver.py — conservation checks
• validation/rmse_dashboard.py — auto-flagging + plots

SCPN Fusion Core v3.0.0 — Rust SNN, Full-Chain UQ, Shot Replay

v3.0.0 — Rust SNN PyO3, Full-Chain UQ, Shot Replay

Highlights

• Rust SNN via PyO3: PySnnPool and PySnnController expose the Rust LIF spiking neuron controller to Python. Python-side wrappers (RustSnnPool, RustSnnController) with graceful fallback when Rust extension is not compiled.
• Monte Carlo UQ through full solver chain: quantify_full_chain() propagates uncertainty through equilibrium boundary → transport coefficients → fusion power, returning [p5, p50, p95] bands for psi NRMSE, tau_E, P_fusion, Q, and beta_N.
• FNO turbulence surrogate deprecated: Runtime FutureWarning on initialization. Relative L2 = 0.79 on 60 synthetic samples — will be retired in v4.0 unless real gyrokinetic training data becomes available.
• Shot Replay Streamlit tab: 5th tab loads DIII-D disruption NPZ files with time-series diagnostics (Ip, ne, Te, dB/dt, toroidal modes) and disruption predictor risk overlay.
• Paper manuscripts updated: Both Paper A (equilibrium solver) and Paper B (SNN controller) updated with v2.1.0 improvements and metrics.

Test Suite

• 1225 tests passed, 57 skipped, 0 failures
• 19 new SNN PyO3 tests (skip when Rust not compiled)
• 12 new full-chain UQ tests

New Files

• scpn-fusion-rs/crates/fusion-python/src/lib.rs — PyO3 SNN bindings (+87 lines)
• src/scpn_fusion/core/_rust_compat.py — Python SNN wrappers (+70 lines)
