- the repo's first CI rather than re-enabling anything — which also closes
- pre-existing drift, since PyAutoHeart/config/repos.yaml already lists this
- repo under `workspaces` with required checks "Smoke Tests" + "Navigator
- Check". All nine modeling/start_here.py-class scripts verified running
- bypassed against PyAutoFit 438f56fac; a curated three promoted (132s cold)
- rather than all nine (~522s), per the repos' no-mass-promote convention.
- Navigator Check deliberately left out of scope.

+- summary: |
+ CTI resurrection epic **Phase 5**. Smoke coverage for the ordered-trap
+ `modeling/start_here.py`-class scripts, unblocked by PyAutoFit#1520
+ (`438f56fac`). All nine verified running bypassed; a curated three promoted.
+ This is autocti_workspace's FIRST CI.
+
+## The prompt's premise did not hold
+
+The prompt said to "add them back to the workspace `smoke_tests.txt`". **There is
+no `smoke_tests.txt`, and never was.** autocti_workspace has no `.github/`
+directory and no `config/build/`; `git ls-files` finds neither, and
+`git log --diff-filter=D` shows nothing was ever deleted. So the coverage had to
+be *created*, not re-enabled — which is why the task was larger than its
+"add lines to a file" sizing suggested.
+
+That also surfaced pre-existing drift worth knowing about:
+`PyAutoHeart/config/repos.yaml` lists autocti_workspace under `workspaces`,
+whose required checks are `["Smoke Tests", "Navigator Check"]`. Neither workflow
+existed, so that gate had been vacuous. This PR closes the smoke half.
+(Heart's *local* smoke runner table — the `smoke:` block in the same file — has
+no autocti entry either, and its `import_names` map has no PyAutoCTI. Untouched
+here; a genuine follow-up.)
+
+## Verification — all nine run bypassed
+
+Stack built from source `main` with PyAutoFit at `438f56fac` (which is `main`
+HEAD, so "a PyAutoFit main containing that SHA" is satisfied by definition),
+autonerves/autoarray 2026.8.17.1, autocti 2024.11.13.2, arcticpy 2.6.
+
+`output/` cleared between EVERY run. This matters: a bypassed fit calls
+`paths.completed()`, so re-running with the same `unique_tag` replays the old
+result via `result_via_completed_fit` and looks exactly like "the fix didn't
+work".
+
+| script | time | promoted |
+|---|---|---|
+| `dataset_1d/modeling/start_here.py` | 13 s | yes |
+| `dataset_1d/modeling/customize/priors.py` | 12 s | no |
+| `dataset_1d/modeling/features/species_x3.py` | 18 s | yes |
+| `dataset_1d/modeling/features/visualize_full.py` | 20 s | no |
+| `imaging_ci/modeling/start_here.py` | 96 s | yes |
+| `imaging_ci/modeling/features/cosmic_rays.py` | 120 s | no |
+| `imaging_ci/modeling/features/non_uniform.py` | 53 s | no |
+| `imaging_ci/modeling/features/serial_cti.py` | 94 s | no |
+| `imaging_ci/modeling/features/visualize_full.py` | 96 s | no |
+
+All nine **pass**. The fix is directly visible in the output:
+`dataset_1d/modeling/start_here.py` builds two `TrapInstantCapture` models with
+identical priors under `trap_0.release_timescale < trap_1.release_timescale`,
+and resolves them to `0.14` and `1.68` — distinct and correctly ordered — rather
+than tying at the prior medians and hard-failing the bypass.
+
+## Why three, not nine
+
+Every CTI repo's AGENTS.md says to keep the smoke list a small curated subset
+and not to mass-promote. Measured the existing CTI smoke suite
+(autocti_workspace_test) for a like-for-like baseline: **20 s** total
+(8 + 5 + 7). All nine here cost **~522 s** — a ~26x jump on the CTI smoke bill.
+
+Promoted three, covering both dataset geometries and the multi-species
+ordered-trap case — the surface the bypass fix actually unblocked. **132 s
+measured cold**, with `dataset/` wiped to its committed state so every dataset
+is simulated first (datasets are gitignored and auto-simulated by the scripts'
+`should_simulate` guards, so a fresh CI checkout always pays that).
+
+CI confirmed the estimate: the runner step took **129 s** on Python 3.12 and
+~123 s on 3.13. Both legs green.
+
+## What was added
+
+- `.github/workflows/smoke_tests.yml` — thin caller for Heart's reusable smoke
+ workflow, chain `PyAutoNerves PyAutoFit PyAutoArray PyAutoCTI`, `arcticpy: true`.
+- `.github/scripts/smoke_install.sh` — install epilogue carrying **no** arcticpy
+ recipe; the same-day arcticpy-install-standardisation task made Heart's
+ `install-arcticpy` action its single owner, and Heart runs it before this
+ epilogue. This repo never had a copy to delete.
+- `.github/scripts/run_smoke.py` — thin shim over PyAutoHands' `run_python.py`,
+ mirroring autocti_workspace_test's. Holds no logic, so it needs none of the
+ sweeps the old 198-line copies did.
+- `config/build/profile_smoke.yaml` — `PYAUTO_TEST_MODE=2` and cache dirs.
+ Passed Heart's strict env-profile validator first time.
+- `smoke_tests.txt` — the curated three.
+- `AGENTS.md` — a "Smoke tests (CI)" section carrying the full nine-script
+ timing table, so the next person promoting a script starts from numbers.
+
+## Left undone, deliberately
+
+**Navigator Check.** Heart lists it as a required check for this repo alongside
+Smoke Tests and it is still absent. Out of scope for an ordered-trap smoke task;
+adding a second unrelated workflow would have widened the PR. Worth a follow-up
+prompt.
+
+## Still open for a human
+
+autocti_workspace_test's `## Conventions` says integration scripts are
+"single-trap" with no stated reason. The reason was almost certainly the bypass
+crash, which is now fixed — so either drop it and exercise multi-trap ordered
+models (better coverage, since ordered traps are the realistic CTI case), or
+write the real reason in. Deliberately not decided here.

Last updated 2026-08-24. This page is generated from active/, draft/ and the registry files, so it is only as current as they are. dashboard_refresh.yml re-renders it on every push to main — that heals a stale page, but not a stale prompt: a task that shipped without its prompt advancing to complete/ keeps rendering here as pickable backlog. Reconciling those is the refresh below.
