Polytopic (Nagumo face-by-face LP check) and SOS polynomial
(Prajna-Jadbabaie w/ CSDP) barrier attempts on operation mode.
**Polytopic (barrier_polytopic.jl):** the naive check on
inv2_holds ∩ precursor_tube_bounds fails — 16 of 18 faces can be
crossed under A_cl. This is EXPECTED: safety halfspaces alone form
a set too big for LQR to contract from everywhere. The correct
approach is Blanchini's pre-image iteration (max robustly controllable
invariant set). Sketched in the script; 2-3 days to implement properly.
**SOS (barrier_sos_2d.jl):** a working proof of concept.
CSDP returns OPTIMAL on a 2-state projection of the operation mode
(dn, dT_c) with:
X_entry = |dn| ≤ 0.01, |dT_c| ≤ 0.1
X_unsafe = dn ≥ 0.15 (high-flux-trip direction)
Dynamics = reduced 2×2 A_cl after LQR.
No disturbance (B_w projects to 0 in this subset).
Global decrease condition (-(∇B·f) SOS) instead of Putinar ∂{B=0}.
Result: a degree-4 polynomial B(x) satisfying all three barrier
conditions. Coefficients printed. First non-quadratic barrier
artifact for this plant.
Caveats:
- 2D projection loses precursor coupling.
- Disturbance ignored in this projection.
- Global-decrease is stronger than the Putinar ∂{B=0} condition;
the latter requires bilinear σ_b·B formulation (BMI) and
iterative solvers. Deferred.
- Scaling to 10-state degree-4 gives SDP ~ 1000×1000; CSDP may
choke. Mosek or MOSEK-free SDP (SCS) might handle.
JuMP, HiGHS, SumOfSquares, DynamicPolynomials, CSDP all added to
Project.toml.

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.
