Abstract
GEO External Operator v1.1.0 modernizes the project into a portable, installable, and testable scientific software package. Highlights: Standard Python packaging with pyproject.toml and scikit-build-core Native C library bundled inside the Python package Portable Python API without private filesystem dependencies Cobaya integration through geo_external_operator.cobaya Portable CLASS/Cobaya example configurations Automated pytest coverage for API, eta/mu independence, canonical R^3 = mu_eff law, projection closure, reconstruction closure, and Cobaya adapter MkDocs documentation with strict-build validation GitHub Actions CI for Tests and Documentation Clean source distribution and binary wheel Historical provenance retained without runtime dependency on private paths Validation: 6/6 pytest tests passed mkdocs build --strict passed GitHub Actions Tests passed GitHub Actions Documentation passed Clean-clone install and test passed Artifacts: geo_external_operator-1.1.0.tar.gz SHA-256: 0071c8a605d8889c13bbf73116fd7476a2ead11c97bc56ce260b4e720c2e7b38 geo_external_operator-1.1.0-cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64.whl SHA-256: 39d5485e9346b79e642fafed279e870f1cdc18c9b5e045a33389788b1b7b0012 Scientific status: This is research software. Packaging, interoperability, and reproducibility validation do not by themselves constitute validation of the underlying physical model.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.
