FESADev/PROGRESS.md

# PROGRESS

## Purpose
`PROGRESS.md` is the shared chronological status log for FESA agents.

Every new agent session must read this file together with `PLAN.md` before planning or editing. Keep this file factual: what changed, what was verified, what is blocked, and what remains risky.

## How To Use
- Add a new entry whenever a meaningful planning, documentation, implementation, verification, or review task is completed.
- Include date, agent or author when known, changed files, verification performed, and follow-up items.
- Record blockers explicitly.
- Do not use this file as a future task list. Put future tasks in `PLAN.md`.
- Do not remove history unless the user explicitly asks for archival cleanup.

## Current Status
The project is in documentation and readiness planning. Solver implementation has not started. The first stored Abaqus reference pair exists under `references/`: `quad_01.inp` and `quad_01_displacements.csv`.

## Completed Work

- `phases/1-linear-static-mitc4/step14.md`
- `phases/1-linear-static-mitc4/step15.md`
- `PLAN.md`
- `PROGRESS.md`

Summary:
- Converted Phase 1 milestones P1-01 through P1-16 into executable Harness step files under `phases/1-linear-static-mitc4`.
- Added top-level and phase-level JSON indices using the zero-based `scripts/execute.py` convention.
- Embedded sprint contracts in every step with objective, required reading, scope, allowed files, explicit non-goals, tests to write first, reference-artifact policy, acceptance command, evaluator checklist, and handoff requirements.
- Kept readiness blockers visible, especially MITC4 formulation decisions, build-system selection, reference comparator tolerance, missing reaction CSV, and the need for Phase 1-compatible `TYPE=S4` references.
- Updated `PLAN.md` so new agents can find and execute the active phase files.

Verification:
- Parsed `phases/index.json` and `phases/1-linear-static-mitc4/index.json` with PowerShell `ConvertFrom-Json`.
- Verified the phase registry points to `1-linear-static-mitc4`, all 16 steps are `pending`, step names are kebab-case, and every `stepN.md` file exists.
- Verified every step file includes the required sprint contract sections from `docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md`.
- `python scripts/validate_workspace.py` exited successfully, but still reported no configured validation commands.

Follow-up:
- Begin Phase 1 execution with `python scripts/execute.py 1-linear-static-mitc4` after confirming readiness blockers are accepted, resolved, or intentionally deferred.

### 2026-05-01 - Phase 1 implementation master plan added
Author: Codex

Changed files:
- `PLAN.md`
- `PROGRESS.md`

Summary:
- Expanded `PLAN.md` from a short implementation sequence into a Phase 1 master implementation plan.
- Added Phase 1 Definition of Done, execution gates, milestone backlog P1-00 through P1-16, sprint contract rules, verification strategy, reference plan, and risk controls.
- Kept implementation blocked behind readiness decisions for MITC4 formulation, build system, reference comparator, reaction verification, and Phase 1-compatible reference input.
- Aligned the plan with the Planner -> Generator -> Evaluator harness in `docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md`.

Verification:
- Reviewed the plan against `docs/PRD.md`, `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md`, `docs/NUMERICAL_CONVENTIONS.md`, `docs/ABAQUS_INPUT_SUBSET.md`, `docs/VERIFICATION_PLAN.md`, `docs/RESULTS_SCHEMA.md`, and `docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.md`.
- `python scripts/validate_workspace.py` ran, but reported no configured validation commands.

Follow-up:
- Convert P1 milestones into `phases/` step files with sprint contract sections when the user asks for executable phase planning.

### 2026-05-01 - Planner/Generator/Evaluator harness structure added
Author: Codex

Changed files:
- `AGENTS.md`
- `PLAN.md`
- `PROGRESS.md`
- `README.md`
- `docs/README.md`
- `docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md`
- `docs/MULTI_AGENT_RESEARCH_PLAN.md`
- `.codex/agents/harness-sprint-planner.toml`

- `.codex/skills/fesa-review/SKILL.md`
- `.codex/skills/fesa-cpp-tdd/SKILL.md`
- `plugins/fesa-commands/commands/phase-draft.md`

Summary:
- Added `docs/HARNESS_ENGINEERING.md` as the durable Planner -> Generator -> Evaluator contract for long-running FESA work.
- Updated `AGENTS.md` so nontrivial solver, parser, result schema, reference comparator, MITC4, and phase execution work requires a sprint contract before implementation.
- Added custom agents for sprint contract planning, contract-bound implementation, and independent sprint evaluation.
- Updated existing planner/reviewer/test strategy guidance to enforce contract compliance, evaluator pass/fail review, TDD, and PLAN/PROGRESS handoff.

Verification:
- `.codex/agents/*.toml` parsed successfully with Python `tomllib`.
- Codex skill and plugin command frontmatter checks passed.
- `python scripts/validate_workspace.py` ran, but reported no configured validation commands.

Follow-up:
- When implementation planning begins, generate phase steps with sprint contract sections before assigning Generator work.

### 2026-05-01 - Abaqus reference CSV contract adopted
Author: Codex

Changed files:
- `AGENTS.md`
- `README.md`
- `PLAN.md`
- `PROGRESS.md`
- `docs/README.md`
- `docs/PRD.md`
- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`
- `docs/ADR.md`

- `docs/ABAQUS_INPUT_SUBSET.md`
- `docs/VERIFICATION_PLAN.md`
- `docs/RESULTS_SCHEMA.md`
- `docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.md`
- `docs/MULTI_AGENT_RESEARCH_PLAN.md`
- `references/README.md`
- `.codex/agents/*.toml`
- `.codex/skills/*.md`
- `plugins/fesa-commands/commands/*.md`

Summary:
- Accepted `references/` as the project reference artifact root.
- Documented the initial artifact pair `references/quad_01.inp` and `references/quad_01_displacements.csv`.
- Adopted Abaqus-exported `*_displacements.csv` as the first automated displacement comparison format.
- Mapped CSV columns `Node Label`, `U-U1`, `U-U2`, `U-U3`, `UR-UR1`, `UR-UR2`, `UR-UR3` to FESA `U` components `UX`, `UY`, `UZ`, `RX`, `RY`, `RZ`.
- Documented that `quad_01.inp` includes `S4R`, `Part/Assembly/Instance`, `*Density`, and `NLGEOM=YES`; it is stored reference provenance and a future compatibility target, not a Phase 1 parser acceptance expansion.

Verification:
- Inspected `quad_01_displacements.csv`: 121 data rows and the required Abaqus displacement/rotation columns.
- Parsed documentation and Codex extension metadata checks.
- `python scripts/validate_workspace.py` ran, but reported no configured validation commands.

Follow-up:
- Add or define reaction-force reference artifacts, preferably `*_reactions.csv`, or verify `RF` by equilibrium tests until Abaqus RF CSV is available.
- Add at least one Phase 1-compatible `TYPE=S4` reference input for the first MITC4 linear static implementation path.

### 2026-04-21 - Initial architecture and agent setup
Author: Codex

Changed files:
- `docs/PRD.md`
- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`
- `docs/ADR.md`
- `AGENTS.md`
- `docs/MULTI_AGENT_RESEARCH_PLAN.md`
- `.codex/agents/fem-literature-researcher.toml`
- `.codex/agents/verification-benchmark-researcher.toml`
- `.codex/agents/mitc4-formulation-researcher.toml`
- `.codex/agents/abaqus-compatibility-researcher.toml`

Summary:
- Established solver architecture direction: runtime polymorphism, Strategy + Template Method, Factory + Registry, adapter boundaries, immutable `Domain`, mutable `AnalysisState`, `DofManager` ownership, step/frame/history results.
- Created first research agents for FEM literature, verification benchmarks, MITC4 formulation, and Abaqus compatibility.

Verification:
- `.codex/agents/*.toml` parsed successfully with Python `tomllib`.
- `python scripts/validate_workspace.py` ran, but reported no configured validation commands.

## Known Blockers
- No reaction-force reference artifact exists yet under `references/`.
- The current initial `quad_01.inp` reference contains `S4R`, `Part/Assembly/Instance`, `*Density`, and `NLGEOM=YES`, so it is not a Phase 1 parser acceptance case as-is.
- MITC4 transverse shear tying-point equations are not finalized in `docs/MITC4_FORMULATION.md`.
- MITC4 local shell basis algorithm is not finalized.
- Artificial drilling stiffness default scale is not finalized.
- Build system is not decided.
- Validation script has no concrete build/lint/test commands configured.

## Current Risks
- Implementation could start from the `quad_01` reference input without accounting for its unsupported Abaqus features.
- MITC4 formulation could drift if tying-point equations are inferred from memory instead of cited sources.
- Reaction output may be wrong if full-space stiffness/load data is not preserved or reconstructed.
- Large-model support may be weakened if any module narrows ids or sparse indices below int64.
