Tasks that were started or scoped but are not currently in flight. Listed
here so they remain visible across machines instead of disappearing into
unindexed worktrees or stashes. Move an entry back to active.md (or to
planned.md if re-scoping is needed) when work resumes; on shipping,
write the dated complete/<YYYY>/<MM>/<slug>.md record instead.
- issue: PyAutoLabs/autolens_workspace_developer#113
- status: PARKED 2026-07-24 — stage (a) POSITIVE: warm-started gradient SMC SAMPLES (acc 0.80->0.17 across tempering, einstein_radius 1.5998 vs truth 1.6, max logL ~31781 vs Prodigy MLE 31787.93). Parked to clear the deck for the autolens_profiling refactor (scripts live in autolens_workspace_developer/searches_minimal/, which the refactor churns). All work PRESERVED on pushed branch feature/blackjax-smc-gradient-kernel (origin autolens_workspace_developer, tip 6867762); local worktree removed. Full write-up: searches_minimal/smc_gradient_findings.md on that branch. Science memory: project_gradient_smc_warm_start_sampler_wave. RESUME AFTER REFACTOR: (1) check RAL job 331058 (/mnt/ral/jnightin/smc_grad_logs/smc_warm_ok-331058.out) — 3 warm arms @128p (MALA auto-step, MALA+--tune, HMC): does --tune HOLD acceptance ~0.57 as lambda->1 (fixed step decays 0.80->0.17)? does HMC beat MALA? (2) compare logZ (~31690-31798) vs Nautilus, write comparison.txt row; (3) A100 rep-timing (GPUs full at park); (4) stage (b) ChEES-HMC reusing _warm_start. warm_start.json is a regenerable cache — re-
--refreshif it predates the cov field (else silent diagonal fallback). MGE only; pix deferred. - worktree: none (pushed to origin; local worktree removed 2026-07-24)
- autonomy: supervised
- prompt: active/jax_native_posterior_sampler_wave.md
- note: WAVE TRACKER — this parks the whole JAX-native posterior sampler wave (stages b ChEES-HMC, c MCLMC+harmonic, d flowMC, e jaxns still remain). Do NOT move the prompt to complete/ — stage (a) shipped its findings but the wave continues as a separate run after the refactor. Gradient path certified OK_HMC_VIABLE (probe_grad.py); baseline nss_grad row = logZ -31.47.
- repos:
- autolens_workspace_developer: feature/blackjax-smc-gradient-kernel (pushed, tip 6867762)
- issue: PyAutoLabs/autolens_profiling#82
- prompt: active/research_profiling_experiment_in_the_autolens_pr.md
- parked: 2026-07-24 — code + first GPU results MERGED (PR #83); worktree/claim RELEASED
- remaining: gradient-family sweep (prodigy/lion/adabelief/prodigy_autoconv) + Nautilus anchor on laptop GPU (~/venv/PyAutoGPU, JAX_PLATFORM_NAME=cuda JAX_PLATFORMS=cuda,cpu XLA_PYTHON_CLIENT_MEM_FRACTION=0.5, --config-name local_gpu_fp64), then recovery/walltime aggregation. Warm output preserved in main checkout output/searches/.
- note: NEW PATHS (scripts/// restructure LANDED, autolens_profiling#84) — group4 cells now live at scripts/cluster/searches//mge.py (samplers: multi_start_prodigy, multi_start_lion, multi_start_adabelief, multi_start_prodigy_autoconv, nautilus); run them via the sweep driver scripts/misc/searches/sweep.py (e.g.
--only <sampler>/group/mge— sweep still keys the group cell class internally, mapping it to scripts/cluster/ on disk). If compile still too heavy: dial _GROUP4_MGE_TOTAL_GAUSSIANS 10->6 and/or _MULTI_START_N_STARTS 64->32.
- prompt: active/matplotlib_inline_standalones.md
- parked: 2026-08-08 — surfaced by the orphaned-prompt triage; VERIFIED INCOMPLETE, not shipped
- classification: refactor (autolens_workspace + autogalaxy_workspace)
- remaining: the prompt calls for removing five standalone
# %matplotlib inlinecomments. At least TWO survive on autolens_workspace main —scripts/interferometer/features/advanced/potential_correction/start_here.py:36andscripts/imaging/features/advanced/potential_correction/start_here.py:56. The autogalaxy_workspace half was not counted; do that first to confirm how many of the five are left. - note: do NOT broaden into the old
pyprojrootbootstrap sweep — the prompt is explicit that the dependent AutoCTI follow-up owns that.
- prompt: active/benchmark_calibration_runs.md
- parked: 2026-08-08 — surfaced by the orphaned-prompt triage; VERIFIED NOT STARTED
- parent-issue: PyAutoLabs/autolens_assistant#57 (the benchmark package itself)
- classification: research (autolens_assistant)
- evidence:
benchmarks/runs/on autolens_assistant main still contains only.gitkeep, exactly the state the prompt describes. The four frozen prompt cards (benchmarks/prompts/) and the harness (autoassistant/benchmark.py) are in place; only the campaign is missing. - note: needs real model runs, so it is a cost decision rather than a coding task.
- prompt: active/euclid_eceb_editorial_revision.md
- parked: 2026-08-08 — surfaced by the orphaned-prompt triage; STATE UNVERIFIED
- classification: docs (euclid_assistant / ECLIPSE-C paper)
- why unverified: the work lives against a local paper checkout
(
/mnt/c/Users/Jammy/Science/euclid), not a repo this session can read. Whether the ECEB editorial comments were addressed can only be confirmed from the laptop. - resume: the prompt carries the board's comments verbatim, incl. the structural request to move most systems (esp. the multi-page Fig.3) to an appendix and keep only discussed systems in the main text. Deliverable is the revision plus a response letter and change log.
- prompt: active/pyautoreduce_slacs1430_acs_comparison.md
- parked: 2026-08-08 — surfaced by the orphaned-prompt triage; STATE UNVERIFIED
- classification: test (PyAutoReduce + autolens_assistant)
- why unverified: the comparison targets a collaborator dataset at
/mnt/c/Users/Jammy/Science/subhalo/dataset/slacs/slacs1430+4105, which this session cannot see. Confirm from the laptop whether the reduction and parity fits were ever run.
