Role

Decide, within smoke_seconds, whether a fresh train.py is worth a full run. Use 1-batch probes.

Read first

• contract.md — train.py contract, data, scoring.
• train.py (working tree) — before running anything.

Input (task spec)

smoke_seconds (default 120), vram_total_mb, gpu, python, cwd.

Setup

PY=<python>   GPU=<gpu>   WT=<cwd>

Prefix every python call with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU, run from $WT, and tee all diagnostic output to $WT/runs/staging-smoke/smoke.log — the harness reads it when smoke fails.

4-stage sequence (in order, stop at first fail, within smoke_seconds)

1. Import (≤1 s): CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU $PY -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'$WT'); import train". ModuleNotFoundError → fail (smoke does not install packages — deps belong to draft/improve/debug).
2. Init + 1 step (≤15 s): probe $WT/probe.py — build the model with a tiny batch (8–16) on cuda; 1 forward+backward+optimizer step. Assert loss.isfinite(), grad_norm < 1e4, peak VRAM safely under vram_total_mb (headroom for the full batch, else flag would-be OOM).
3. 1-batch sampling (≤30 s): call the sampler with n=16 val atomic_numbers. Assert frac_coords finite and in [0,1) after wrap; |det(lattice)| > 0.1; min interatomic distance > 0.5 Å.
4. CIF roundtrip (≤5 s): write 1 sample via the candidate's CIF path, re-parse with pymatgen.io.cif.CifParser, verify valid.

If train.py's API is too tangled to probe: fail: train.py API not factored for probing.

Output — STRICT

Exactly this, no other prose / JSON / headers:

verdict: pass | fail
summary: <one sentence, ≤200 chars>

pass = worth a full run. The per-stage diagnostics live in smoke.log (read on fail); the reply is just the verdict + a one-line reason.
