Records the journal scaffold + retroactive-entries + Julia migration
+ Pluto app work, with \apass{} markers for content that should be
expanded in a later A-pass. Keeps the discipline going from the
night the journal stood up.
Easter eggs:
- ASCII reactor + primary loop in journal/README.md (subtle, shows
where Q_sg flows in as a disturbance).
- Garden-lyric reference embedded in pke_params.jl docstring
("looks ordinary on the surface but is something else underneath")
— same lyric as the preamble.tex comment, referencing the name
behind Split. Hacker-Split's signature.
- 🦎 in the Pluto notebook header + closer.
Nothing functional, nothing that clutters the substance.

Full toolchain port. Numerical equivalence verified against MATLAB:
- main_mode_sweep.jl: every mode's final state matches MATLAB to 3-4 dp
- reach_operation.jl: per-halfspace margins match MATLAB exactly
- barrier_lyapunov.jl: per-halfspace bounds match (best Qbar from sweep
yields max|dT_c| = 33.228 K either side)
- barrier_compare_OL_CL.jl: OL gamma 1.038e13, CL gamma 1.848e4
matching the MATLAB result; LQR helps by ~20,000x on every halfspace.
Phase summary:
Phase 1: pke_solver.jl, plot_pke_results.jl (Plots.jl), main_mode_sweep.jl
Phase 2: reach_linear.jl, reach_operation.jl, barrier_lyapunov.jl,
barrier_compare_OL_CL.jl, load_predicates.jl
Phase 3 (this commit): delete plant-model/ entirely, delete reach
code from reachability/ keeping predicates.json + docs,
git mv julia-port/ -> code/, update root README + CLAUDE,
write code/CLAUDE.md and code/README.md, update reach
README + WALKTHROUGH file paths, journal preamble note
that pre-port entries reference MATLAB paths.
Why now: prompt-neutron stiffness in nonlinear reach made it clear we
need TMJets, which is Julia. Already had the Julia plant model
working and matching MATLAB. Two languages = two sources of truth =
two places to drift. One language, one truth.
Manifest.toml gitignored. .mat results gitignored.

journal/ directory, LaTeX-based, dated entries, callout boxes for
derivations / decisions / dead ends / limitations, plus an \apass{}
macro for in-line markers when a later deep-pass is needed.
Retroactive A-style entries for 2026-04-17 (controllers, linearization,
LQR, operation-mode linear reach, Lyapunov barrier) and 2026-04-20
(predicates restructure into deadbands+safety+invariants, OL-vs-CL
barrier analysis, mode-obligation taxonomy, heatup-rate-as-halfspace,
mode_boundaries, first Julia nonlinear reach attempt).
Both entries include derivations written out in math, dead-ends I
hit, code snippets with commentary, figure embeds, and terminal
output where it changed what we did next. The goal is invention-log
depth — readable 4 years from now without the git history to help.
journal/README.md documents the conventions. journal.tex aggregates
all entries into one PDF via latexmk.
Kept claude_memory/ separate as per earlier agreement — those are
short AI-context notes, different audience.
