Fix partial rankings by using complete aggregation mode in CrossSectionalEngine

Summary The CrossSectionalEngine is triggering on each individual device row because it is set to a perRow pattern, so ranking calculations are emitted as soon as a single temperature‑rate value arrives. This leads to many intermediate, incomplete statistics and an inflated output table. To obtain reliable per‑batch rankings you must wait for all devices in … Read more

Defensive design patterns to stop Python config state corruption

Summary A production system encountered a critical state corruption issue due to uncontrolled mutation of a core configuration class. The team attempted to implement a “poison pill” mechanism—a manual flag that triggers a crash during serialization—to prevent invalid states from being persisted to disk. While this prevents the worst-case scenario (writing bad data), it fails … Read more
