Story 5.1: Constraint Definition Framework

Status: done

Story

As a control engineer, I want to define output constraints that specify target operating conditions, so that the solver can find inputs that achieve my desired system state.

Acceptance Criteria

  1. Constraint Definition API

    • Given measurable system outputs (e.g., superheat, capacity, temperature)
    • When I define a constraint as (output - target = 0)
    • Then the constraint is added to the residual vector
    • And the constraint has a unique identifier

  2. Component Output Reference

    • Given a component in the system (e.g., Evaporator)
    • When I create a constraint referencing that component's output
    • Then the constraint can reference any accessible component property
    • And invalid references produce clear compile-time or runtime errors

  3. Multiple Constraints Support

    • Given a system with multiple control objectives
    • When I define multiple constraints
    • Then all constraints are simultaneously added to the residual system
    • And each constraint maintains its identity for debugging/reporting

  4. Constraint Residual Integration

    • Given constraints are defined
    • When the solver computes residuals
    • Then constraint residuals are appended to the component residuals
    • And the constraint residual contribution is output_computed - target_value

  5. Error Handling

    • Given invalid constraint definitions (e.g., negative tolerance, empty target)
    • When constructing constraints
    • Then appropriate errors are returned via Result<T, ConstraintError>

Tasks / Subtasks

  • Create constraint module structure
    • Create crates/solver/src/inverse/mod.rs
    • Create crates/solver/src/inverse/constraint.rs
    • Add pub mod inverse; to crates/solver/src/lib.rs
  • Define core constraint types
    • Constraint struct with id, target_value, tolerance
    • ConstraintError enum for validation failures
    • ConstraintId newtype for type-safe identifiers
  • Implement component output reference mechanism
    • Define ComponentOutput enum or trait for referenceable outputs
    • Map component outputs to residual vector positions (deferred to Story 5.3 - requires component state extraction infrastructure)
  • Implement constraint residual computation
    • Add compute_residual(&self, measured_value: f64) -> f64 method
    • Add compute_constraint_residuals placeholder to System (full integration in Story 5.3)
  • Add constraint storage to System
    • constraints: HashMap<ConstraintId, Constraint> field for O(1) lookup
    • add_constraint(&mut self, constraint: Constraint) -> Result<(), ConstraintError>
    • remove_constraint(&mut self, id: ConstraintId) -> Option<Constraint>
  • Write unit tests
    • Test constraint creation and validation
    • Test residual computation for known values
    • Test error cases (invalid references, duplicate ids)
  • Update documentation
    • Module-level rustdoc with KaTeX formulas
    • Example usage in doc comments

Dev Notes

Architecture Context

This is the first story in Epic 5: Inverse Control & Optimization. The inverse control module enables "One-Shot" solving where constraints become part of the residual system rather than using external optimizers.

Key Architecture Decisions (from architecture.md):

  1. Module Location: crates/solver/src/inverse/ — new module following solver crate organization
  2. Residual Embedding Pattern: Constraints add equations to the residual vector
  3. Zero-Panic Policy: All operations return Result<T, ConstraintError>
  4. No Dynamic Allocation in Hot Path: Pre-allocate constraint storage during system setup

Technical Requirements

From epics.md Story 5.1:

  • Constraint format: output - target = 0
  • Must reference any component output
  • Multiple constraints supported simultaneously

From architecture.md:

// Expected error handling pattern
#[derive(Error, Debug)]
pub enum ConstraintError {
    #[error("Invalid component reference: {component_id}")]
    InvalidReference { component_id: String },
    
    #[error("Duplicate constraint id: {id}")]
    DuplicateId { id: ConstraintId },
    
    #[error("Constraint value out of bounds: {value}")]
    OutOfBounds { value: f64 },
}

Existing Code Patterns to Follow

From solver.rs:

  • Use thiserror for error types
  • Follow SolverError pattern for ConstraintError
  • KaTeX documentation in module-level comments

From system.rs:

  • Constraints should integrate with existing System struct
  • Follow existing add_* method patterns for add_constraint()

From lib.rs exports:

  • Export key types: Constraint, ConstraintError, ConstraintId, ComponentOutput

Implementation Strategy

  1. Phase 1 - Core Types: Define Constraint, ConstraintId, ConstraintError
  2. Phase 2 - Output References: Define ComponentOutput enum for referencable properties
  3. Phase 3 - System Integration: Add constraint storage and computation to System
  4. Phase 4 - Residual Integration: Append constraint residuals to system residual vector

Project Structure Notes

  • New module: crates/solver/src/inverse/ (as specified in architecture.md)
  • Modify: crates/solver/src/lib.rs (add module export)
  • Modify: crates/solver/src/system.rs (add constraint storage)
  • No bindings changes required for this story (Rust-only API)

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • DON'T use f64 directly for constraint values — consider NewType pattern for type safety
  • DON'T allocate Vec inside compute_residuals() loop — pre-allocate during setup
  • DON'T use unwrap() or expect() — return Result everywhere
  • DON'T use println! — use tracing for debug output
  • DON'T create constraint types in core crate — keep in solver crate per architecture
