Dane Sabo fbbaebff9f julia migration: port MATLAB to Julia, delete MATLAB, rename julia-port -> code
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.

# code
Plant model, controllers, and reach-analysis toolchain for the
HAHACS preliminary example. All Julia.
## What this is
A 10-state coupled neutronics + thermal-hydraulics model (point kinetic
equations + lumped thermal loop) with continuous-mode controllers for
each of the DRC modes (shutdown, heatup, operation, scram), plus a
hand-rolled linear reach-tube propagator, a Lyapunov-ellipsoid barrier
attempt, and scaffolding for TMJets-based nonlinear reach.
Ported from MATLAB on 2026-04-20 once the reach experiments made it
clear that Julia's stack (`OrdinaryDiffEq`, `MatrixEquations`,
`ReachabilityAnalysis`, `LazySets`, `@taylorize`) was the right tool
for everything we need going forward. The MATLAB originals are in
the git history.
## Running
First time:
```bash
cd code
julia --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'
```
Subsequent:
```bash
julia --project=. scripts/main_mode_sweep.jl # all 5 DRC modes, figures
julia --project=. scripts/reach_operation.jl # operation-mode linear reach
julia --project=. scripts/barrier_lyapunov.jl # Lyapunov barrier attempt
julia --project=. scripts/barrier_compare_OL_CL.jl # OL vs CL barrier
julia --project=. scripts/reach_heatup_nonlinear.jl # nonlinear heatup (10s cap)
```
Figures save to `../docs/figures/`. Reach results save to
`../reachability/*.mat` (gitignored).
## Structure
See `CLAUDE.md` for the architectural overview and `../journal/` for
the invention-log-style narrative of how this code got written.
## Dependencies
From `Project.toml`:
- `OrdinaryDiffEq` — ODE solver, Rodas5 for stiff systems.
- `MatrixEquations``arec` for LQR Riccati, `lyapc` for Lyapunov.
- `ReachabilityAnalysis` + `LazySets` — reach sets and set operations.
- `Plots` — figures (GR backend by default).
- `JSON` — read `../reachability/predicates.json`.
- `MAT` — save results.
`Manifest.toml` is gitignored; regenerate locally on first
`Pkg.instantiate()`.
