Dane Sabo cebf8c167a Initial umbrella repo: thesis + FRET pipeline + plant model with first controllers
Folds three previously-separate pieces into one preliminary-example repo
for the HAHACS thesis:

- thesis/ (submodule) → gitea Thesis.git — the PhD proposal
- fret-pipeline/ — FRET requirements to AIGER controller (was
  ~/Documents/fret_processing/; prior single-commit history abandoned
  per user decision)
- plant-model/ — 10-state PKE + lumped T/H PWR model (was
  ~/Documents/PKE_Playground/; never version-controlled before)
- presentations/2026DICE/ (submodule) → gitea 2026DICE.git
- reachability/, hardware/ — empty placeholders for Thrust 3 and HIL
- docs/architecture.md — how the discrete and continuous layers compose
- claude_memory/ — session notes and scratch knowledge pattern

Plant model refactored to thesis naming (x, plant, u, ref); pke_th_rhs
now takes u as an explicit arg instead of reading rho_ext from the
params struct. First two controllers built to the contract
u = ctrl_<mode>(t, x, plant, ref): ctrl_null (baseline) and
ctrl_operation (stabilizing, proportional on T_avg). Validated under a
100% -> 80% Q_sg step: ctrl_operation reduces steady-state T_avg drift
~47% vs. the unforced plant.

Root CLAUDE.md emphasizes that CLAUDE.md files are living documents and
that any knowledge not captured before a session ends is lost forever;
claude_memory/ holds the session-level notes that haven't stabilized
enough to graduate into a CLAUDE.md.

Session notes and scratch knowledge that hasn't (yet) earned a place in a CLAUDE.md. Anything that leaves a context window uncaptured is lost forever — this folder exists so session-level insight doesn't evaporate.

Purpose

A Claude context window is finite. Anything an agent figures out in a session that isn't written down is gone when the session ends. The curated CLAUDE.md files hold stable, authoritative knowledge; this folder holds everything else that's still worth remembering.

Pattern

  • One file per session with non-trivial insight.
  • Filename: YYYY-MM-DD-short-topic.md. Date first so ls is chronological.
  • Freeform. Rough edges encouraged. Don't polish — capture.
  • At minimum, answer: what did we do, what did we decide, what surprised us, what's still open.
  • Cross-reference files you edited, alternatives you considered, dead-ends you hit.

What graduates vs. what stays

Three futures for a note in here:

  1. Graduates up into a CLAUDE.md (or docs/architecture.md, or a code comment) when the knowledge stabilizes and becomes authoritative. After graduating, consider deleting the note or leaving it as historical context.
  2. Stays here as historical context — useful for "why did we do X last month?" or "what have we already tried?"
  3. Gets deleted when it's no longer relevant (a fixed bug, an abandoned approach, a stale investigation).

The graduation step is a discipline, not automation. When you're finishing a session and think "a future agent needs this to avoid re-discovering it," ask: is this stable enough for a CLAUDE.md, or is it still forming?
