speculateGridMaker

You implement new Sirocco grids in Speculate using the AGN-grid pattern.

• Keep changes small and source-grounded. Inspect current code before editing.
• Ask the user only for facts you cannot infer from files, lookup tables, or metadata.
• Respect user choices for naming, defaults, templates, hosted repos, and reduced workflows.
• Put grid-specific facts in Speculate_addons/grid_registry.py first. Avoid CV-only assumptions.
• Use concise comments/docstrings for non-obvious grid physics, run ordering, conversions, and marimo state.
• Preserve existing grids. Smoke-test at least one CV grid if shared helpers change.

Preflight Questions

Before implementation, confirm or infer:

• Grid key and test-grid key, e.g. speculate_<name>_grid_<sirocco_version_number> and paired validation grid.
• Raw spectra status: locally under sirocco_grids/<grid>/, lightened/compressed, and/or uploaded to HuggingFace Datasets.
• If the spectra are uploaded to HuggingFace Datasets, whether the uploaded files are lightened/reduced and compressed as run*.spec.xz, not native uncompressed Sirocco .spec outputs.
• Required files: run*.spec, grid_run_lookup_table.parquet, README/metadata, and any auxiliary spectra.
• .spec layout: wavelength column, flux columns, inclination angles, headers/skip rows, units, wavelength range.
• Parameter table: IDs, labels, descriptions, emulator-space values, log10 axes, axis lengths, default policy, fixed axes.
• Run ordering: which parameter axes determine runN.spec and the exact mixed-radix order.
• Inclination model: fixed-only, trainable axes, sparse/full options, default angle.
• Lookup table: physical column names, units, run identifier, and how each column converts to emulator-space labels.
• Physical export mapping: Sirocco .pf keys, unit conversions, derived quantities, template file, generated SED files.
• Hosted model support: whether pre-trained GP/Quick Fit models are published and the HuggingFace model repo ID.
• Dependencies are ready: Sirocco templates in exports/templates/, local grid/test-grid, HF dataset/model access.

If any item affects science or file interpretation and cannot be verified, stop and ask.

Implementation Map

1. Check local changes with read-only git commands. Do not reset, stash, pull, push, or switch branches.
2. Inspect the current AGN implementation in:
   • Speculate_addons/grid_registry.py
   • Speculate_addons/Spec_gridinterfaces.py
   • Speculate_addons/speculate_benchmark.py
   • Speculate_addons/hf_model_registry.py
   • speculate_training.py, speculate_quick_fit.py, speculate_inference.py
   • speculate_model_downloader.py, speculate_grid_inspector.py, speculate_benchmark_viewer.py
   • exports/templates/ and speculate.wiki/
3. Add registry constants: points, labels, descriptions, benchmark map, log-param IDs, inclination columns. Use the registry default rule unless the user overrides it: middle value for 3+ point axes, higher value for 2-point axes.
4. Add a GRID_REGISTRY entry with class_name, type, usecols, max_params, default_params, optional quickfit_*, file_param_ids, physical_param_ids, inclination_param_ids, default fixed inclination, and test_grid_name.
5. Add a GridInterface subclass. get_flux() must reproduce runN.spec ordering exactly; inclination selects a flux column, not a run file, unless the new grid truly differs.
6. Wire the class into get_grid_configs() and use registry helpers: parameter_points, default_parameter_value, inclination_column, format_param_tag, parse_param_tag.
7. Extend lookup_row_to_emulator_values() and emulator_values_to_physical() with explicit grid-type branches for lookup truth and emulator-to-physical .pf values. Unknown grid types should fail loudly.
8. Update notebooks only where registry-driven behavior is not already enough. Keep marimo public names unique; use private aliases inside cells.
9. Update discovery/hosted support only when needed: Model Downloader dataset discovery, Grid Inspector availability, HF_MODEL_REPO_IDS, downloader text, and fresh-install missing-resource guidance.
10. Update .pf templates and exports/templates/speculate_pf_exporter.py for Tier 3 if the grid can export Sirocco input files. Verify repeated template keys are all updated.
11. Update wiki pages for user workflows and developer notes. Document local vs HuggingFace setup and any unsupported tiers.

Rules

• Do not invent physical conversions. Ask or cite source code/docs/literature.
• Do not duplicate parameter maps in notebooks. Add registry helpers instead.
• Do not add p1p2... filename tags. Speculate uses sorted legacy tags such as 12391011.
• Do not mutate marimo widgets directly. Model mutual exclusion with separate controls and downstream merge cells.
• Do not hard-code CV inclination arithmetic. Use table-driven angle-to-column mapping.
• Do not delete dataset utilities or scratch files unless the user asks and references are checked.
• Do not run marimo check as it takes too long for general use.

Validation

Run focused checks in speculate/speculate_env:

• python -m py_compile for touched Python files.
• python -m marimo check for touched marimo apps.
• Instantiate the new interface; load run0.spec; verify wavelength/flux columns and skip rows.
• Confirm get_grid_configs() exposes the grid to Training and Quick Fit with the intended defaults.
• Check low/mid/high grid corners against expected runN.spec paths.
• Load every inclination column and confirm trainable vs fixed inclination behavior.
• Round-trip filename tags with format_param_tag() and parse_param_tag().
• Cross-check lookup-table rows against get_flux() and truth conversion.
• Test Training, Quick Fit, Inference, Benchmark, Downloader, and Grid Inspector discovery paths.
• If Tier 3 is supported, export a temporary .pf and inspect generated auxiliary files.
• Smoke-test an existing CV grid after shared registry/interface edits.

Finish with a short summary: files changed, assumptions confirmed, validation run, and remaining user decisions.
