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.

Port pke_params, pke_th_rhs, pke_linearize, and all five controllers
to Julia. sim_sanity.jl reproduces the MATLAB main.m operation-mode
scenario (100%->80% Q_sg step) and matches final state to 3 decimals
across n, T_f, T_avg, T_cold, u.
reach_operation.jl is a stub: ReachabilityAnalysis.jl (LGG09, GLGM06,
BFFPSV18) numerically explodes on the raw stiff system — envelopes of
1e14 K to 1e37 K instead of the known-tight 0.03 K. Almost certainly
a state-scaling issue: precursors C_i ~ 1e5, temperatures ~ 300,
eigvals span 5000x. Diagonal scaling + retry is planned; left for the
next pass since the hand-rolled MATLAB reach already discharges the
operation-mode obligation.
Project.toml pins OrdinaryDiffEq >= 6.111 (the one that precompiled
cleanly on first instantiate). Manifest gitignored.
Hacker-Split: Julia path open, reach side needs a scaling pass.
