# Story 9.8: SystemState Dedicated Struct

Status: done

## Story

As a Rust developer,
I want a dedicated `SystemState` struct instead of a type alias,
so that I have layout validation, typed access methods, and better semantics for the solver state.

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** `SystemState` is currently `Vec<f64>` in `crates/components/src/lib.rs:182`
   **When** the struct is created
   **Then** `pressure(edge_idx)` returns `Pressure` type
   **And** `enthalpy(edge_idx)` returns `Enthalpy` type
   **And** `set_pressure()` and `set_enthalpy()` accept typed physical quantities

2. **Given** a `SystemState` instance
   **When** accessing data
   **Then** `AsRef<[f64]>` and `AsMut<[f64]>` are implemented for solver compatibility
   **And** `From<Vec<f64>>` and `From<SystemState> for Vec<f64>` enable migration

3. **Given** invalid data (odd length vector)
   **When** calling `SystemState::from_vec()`
   **Then** panic with clear error message

4. **Given** out-of-bounds edge index
   **When** calling `pressure()` or `enthalpy()`
   **Then** returns `None` (safe, no panic)

5. **Given** all tests passing before change
   **When** refactoring is complete
   **Then** `cargo test --workspace` passes
   **And** public API is unchanged for solver consumers

## Dev Notes

### Current Implementation

```rust
// crates/components/src/lib.rs:182
pub type SystemState = Vec<f64>;
```

**Layout**: Each edge in the system graph has 2 variables: `[P0, h0, P1, h1, ...]`
- `P`: Pressure in Pascals
- `h`: Enthalpy in J/kg

### Proposed Implementation

```rust
// crates/core/src/state.rs

pub struct SystemState {
    data: Vec<f64>,
    edge_count: usize,
}

impl SystemState {
    pub fn new(edge_count: usize) -> Self;
    pub fn from_vec(data: Vec<f64>) -> Self;  // panics on odd length
    pub fn edge_count(&self) -> usize;
    
    pub fn pressure(&self, edge_idx: usize) -> Option<Pressure>;
    pub fn enthalpy(&self, edge_idx: usize) -> Option<Enthalpy>;
    pub fn set_pressure(&mut self, edge_idx: usize, p: Pressure);
    pub fn set_enthalpy(&mut self, edge_idx: usize, h: Enthalpy);
    
    pub fn as_slice(&self) -> &[f64];
    pub fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [f64];
    pub fn into_vec(self) -> Vec<f64>;
    pub fn iter_edges(&self) -> impl Iterator<Item = (Pressure, Enthalpy)> + '_;
}
```

### Architecture Compliance

- **NewType Pattern**: Consistent with architecture requirement for type-safe physical quantities
- **Zero-Allocation in Hot Path**: Internal `Vec<f64>` is pre-allocated; no allocation in accessors
- **Error Handling**: Out-of-bounds returns `Option::None`, not panic (except `from_vec` with odd length)

### Files to Touch

| File | Action |
|------|--------|
| `crates/core/src/state.rs` | Create |
| `crates/core/src/lib.rs` | Add `pub mod state;` and re-export |
| `crates/components/src/lib.rs` | Remove type alias, add import from core |
| `crates/solver/src/*.rs` | Update imports if needed (may work via re-export) |

### Project Structure Notes

- `SystemState` belongs in `entropyk_core` (shared between solver and components)
- Physical types (`Pressure`, `Enthalpy`) already exist in `entropyk_core`
- Solver uses `AsRef<[f64]>` trait - no breaking change

### Testing Standards

- Use `approx` crate for float comparisons
- Tolerance: 1e-9 for exact values (matches NFR determinism requirement)
- Run `cargo test --workspace` to verify no regressions

### Completion Notes List

1. Created `SystemState` struct in `crates/core/src/state.rs` with:
   - Typed accessor methods (`pressure()`, `enthalpy()`)
   - Typed setter methods (`set_pressure()`, `set_enthalpy()`)
   - `From<Vec<f64>>` and `From<SystemState> for Vec<f64>` conversions
   - `AsRef<[f64]>` and `AsMut<[f64]>` implementations
   - `Deref<Target=[f64]>` and `DerefMut` for seamless slice compatibility
   - `Index<usize>` and `IndexMut<usize>` for backward compatibility
   - `to_vec()` method for cloning data
   - 25 unit tests covering all functionality

2. Updated Component trait to use `&StateSlice` (type alias for `&[f64]`) instead of `&SystemState`:
   - This allows both `&Vec<f64>` and `&SystemState` to work via deref coercion
   - Updated all component implementations
   - Updated all solver code

3. Added `StateSlice` type alias for clarity in method signatures

## Senior Developer Review (AI)

**Reviewer:** Claude 3.5 Sonnet (via OpenCode)
**Date:** 2026-02-22
**Outcome:** Changes Requested → Fixed

### Issues Found

| # | Severity | Issue | Resolution |
|---|----------|-------|------------|
| 1 | HIGH | Clippy `manual_is_multiple_of` failure (crate has `#![deny(warnings)]`) | Fixed: `data.len() % 2 == 0` → `data.len().is_multiple_of(2)` |
| 2 | HIGH | Missing serde support for JSON persistence (Story 7-5 dependency) | Fixed: Added `Serialize, Deserialize` derives to `SystemState` and `InvalidStateLengthError` |
| 3 | MEDIUM | Silent failure on `set_pressure`/`set_enthalpy` hides bugs | Fixed: Added `#[track_caller]` and `debug_assert!` for early detection |
| 4 | MEDIUM | No fallible constructor (`try_from_vec`) | Fixed: Added `try_from_vec()` returning `Result<Self, InvalidStateLengthError>` |
| 5 | MEDIUM | Demo binaries have uncommitted changes | Noted: Unrelated to story scope |

### Fixes Applied

1. Added `InvalidStateLengthError` type with `std::error::Error` impl
2. Added `try_from_vec()` fallible constructor
3. Added `#[track_caller]` and `debug_assert!` to `set_pressure`/`set_enthalpy`
4. Added `Serialize, Deserialize` derives (serde already in dependencies)
5. Added 7 new tests:
   - `test_try_from_vec_valid`
   - `test_try_from_vec_odd_length`
   - `test_try_from_vec_empty`
   - `test_invalid_state_length_error_display`
   - `test_serde_roundtrip`
   - `test_set_pressure_out_of_bounds_panics_in_debug`
   - `test_set_enthalpy_out_of_bounds_panics_in_debug`

### Test Results

- `entropyk-core`: 90 tests passed
- `entropyk-components`: 379 tests passed
- `entropyk-solver`: 211 tests passed
- Clippy: 0 warnings
