picurv run --post-process is incremental: it processes only the requested steps whose output is missing or stale (no output, a changed recipe, or a changed checkpoint) and launches nothing when every step is up to date. Each produced step is recorded in the recipe's state.json; output written before these records existed is kept when it is newer than its checkpoint. Steps need not be contiguous, so a single missing file is reprocessed alone.
- Post jobs decide their steps when they start, under the post lock, so a Slurm post job staged before the solver ran, or resubmitted later, and every study post array task process only what is missing then. A job that fails part-way keeps the steps it finished.
- --recompute regenerates every requested step, for every selected stage. Rebuilding the postprocessor does not invalidate output; the run reports how many steps another build made.
- --continue now belongs to --solve; on a post-only command it is ignored with a warning.
- Spectra follow the same rule and keep the rows of steps they do not re-measure.
- Branch runs post-process only the steps from their fork onward.
The postprocessor no longer crashes on two or more ranks for periodic cases (Q-criterion and field-statistics staging); outputs are byte-identical across rank counts.
A field-statistics window that opens late no longer makes earlier steps count as incomplete.
An in-place --solve --continue from a start_step before, or past, the run's last committed checkpoint is refused; branch with --restart-from to redo a stretch.
Identical asset inputs reuse one published object, generated initial conditions are byte-reproducible, and a restart no longer builds an initial condition it does not use.
A run or study moved or copied to another directory is pointed at its new location the next time PICurv opens it.
picurv submit accepts a post-only staging, submits a study's latest staged set (including sweep --continue --no-submit), and chains the study's metrics aggregation job.
Conductor messages use consistent [WARNING]/[FATAL] prefixes, several stale or misleading messages are corrected, and post runs no longer list the solver's PETSc options as unused.
