AOB-WS6 IBM upstream PR package

[eggrollofchaos]

Scope

Package the Team 13 fork work into one or more maintainer-readable PRs against IBM/AssetOpsBench.

Current Cut cadence

Default to one first IBM upstream Cut PR unless Dhaval/IBM asks for a different split. This PR should be the smallest package that is still runnable/reviewable as a Smart Grid AssetOpsBench contribution:

• Smart Grid domain servers and direct-adapter surface.
• SG_DATA_DIR data policy, with no raw class/team CSVs shipped.
• 36 validated canonical Smart Grid scenarios: the AOB PR feat(smart_grid): port full HPML 31-scenario corpus (closes AOB #30 + #31) #35 corpus (31 records) plus the five HPML PR Demo for Data Science and Analytics Conference (DSAC) IBM/AssetOpsBench#195 promoted scenarios (SGT-031..SGT-035) ported into AOB before opening the IBM PR.
• IEC/DGA strict-JSON correctness behavior and tests.
• Minimal provenance docs and test/smoke evidence that can run in the AOB fork.

This should be opened before the 2026-05-07 15:00 ET class presentation if the deck claims that an upstream AssetOpsBench PR has been opened. It is not a NeurIPS-paper blocker unless the paper claims the upstream PR exists.

Why not a scenarios-only first PR?

A literal scenario-only PR is thinner, but not independently useful for IBM upstream because upstream does not yet have the Smart Grid domain/tools those scenarios exercise. The practical thin PR is therefore domain + data policy + 36 scenarios + IEC/DGA tests, while excluding the heavier research/runner surfaces below.

Later / Full-path PRs

Keep these separate unless IBM requests a combined contribution:

• 50+ scenario corpus expansion and generated-scenario validation.
• Evaluation adapter / judge parity after the IBM evaluation-module direction settles.
• Generator-assisted scenario pipeline and provenance tooling.
• L3/statistical-fidelity validator.
• Agent-as-Tool orchestration runners and MCP batch-mode integration.

Exclusions from the first PR

Do not include class-only assets: notebooks, raw benchmark captures, W&B/dashboard polish, report/deck text, personal/team coordination docs, Insomnia/GCP runbooks, or private planning artifacts.

Acceptance

• First IBM upstream PR URL is opened and linked here.
• PR body lists shipped domain surfaces, tests run, excluded class artifacts, and data/provenance requirements such as SG_DATA_DIR.
• AOB Project items and HPML EAMLite API filters are not working IBM/AssetOpsBench#46 are updated with the upstream PR URL and any deferred follow-on PRs.

[eggrollofchaos]

Default cadence recorded: use one first Cut-path PR unless Dhaval/IBM asks otherwise.

That PR should package Smart Grid domain servers, SG_DATA_DIR data policy, 30 validated scenarios, IEC/DGA correctness, tests, and provenance. Defer eval adapter parity, generator/50, validator, and orchestration to later Full-path PRs.

Branch split plan for the first AOB PR, refreshed 2026-05-07:

• Include Push Phase 2 Smart Grid domain branch to org fork #11, Review Smart Grid MCP namespace and server API surface #12, Validate Smart Grid scenario arrays and negative checks #13, Document SG_DATA_DIR data provenance and no-CSV-port policy #14, Run AOB direct-adapter and MCP stdio smoke checks #15, Port PR #149 IEC ratio/divergent-output behavior to AOB FMSR #16, Add strict-JSON zero-denominator DGA regression tests #17, Refresh AOB Smart Grid DGA profile docs after IEC fix #18, Port canonical 15+ Smart Grid scenarios from HPML to AOB #30, and Port 30+ Smart Grid scenario corpus expansion to AOB #31, plus the five-scenario HPML PR Demo for Data Science and Analytics Conference (DSAC) IBM/AssetOpsBench#195 top-up needed for the current 36-scenario Cut target.
• Use Decide upstream scope for PR #148 L3 validator #19, Record Dhaval/IBM upstream packaging preference #25, Prepare fork branch split and team attribution plan #26, Draft/open first IBM upstream Smart Grid cut PR #27, and Link IBM upstream PRs back to AOB Project #28 as packaging/decision support.
• Defer Push Phase 1 evaluation adapter branch to org fork #7-Record judge-retirement decision after parity pass #10 eval adapter parity, Prepare sanitized validator port plan or exclusion note #20 validator, Track PR #134 merge and extract final AaT batch/reuse delta #21-Run AOB Smart Grid orchestration smoke #24 orchestration, and Port generator-assisted scenario pipeline and provenance to AOB #32-Port generated-scenario validation workflow for 50+ corpus #33/Port 50+ validated Smart Grid scenarios to AOB #36 generator/50+ unless we choose Full path or IBM asks for more.
• Do not open the IBM PR until the branch has the IEC helper behavior, 36-scenario corpus, and basic direct/loader smoke evidence.
• Verify team attribution from git log before finalizing the upstream PR body.
