feat(generator): support generic conditioning parameters

[SchrodingersCattt]

Summary

Add backend-neutral frame and atom conditioning declarations while retaining use_ele_temp compatibility.

Changes

• Add conditioning.fparam and conditioning.aparam entries with name, source, and dim.
• Propagate aggregate widths to every model and model_dict branch.
• Extract VASP values from job.json into DeepMD fparam/aparam arrays.
• Emit generic LAMMPS fparam/aparam variable bindings.
• Preserve legacy electron-temperature defaults and reject conflicting declarations.

Validation

• 48 DP-GEN backend tests passed.
• 3 VASP post-processing tests passed.
• Focused conditioning helper tests passed.

Closes #1973.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added support for generic frame-level and atom-level conditioning parameters in DeePMD workflows, including configuring model inputs and passing values through simulation and training.
  • Temperature entries can now include associated conditioning parameters.

• Bug Fixes

  • Added validation for conditioning declarations and values, including required fields, dimensions, and finite values.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds generic frame and atom conditioning alongside the existing electron-temperature option. It validates conditioning declarations, configures fitting-network dimensions, attaches FP values to systems, and passes per-job values into LAMMPS model-deviation inputs.

Changes

Generic conditioning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conditioning declarations and training dimensions dpgen/generator/arginfo.py, dpgen/generator/run.py, tests/generator/test_deepmd_backend.py	The input schema documents fparam and aparam declarations and adds an empty conditioning default. Workflow code normalizes declarations, validates their fields and values, and applies their dimensions to fitting networks. Tests cover model-dictionary branches and rejection of combined explicit conditioning and use_ele_temp.
FP data registration and post-processing dpgen/util.py, dpgen/generator/run.py	Workflow setup registers optional frame and atom conditioning data types. VASP post-processing reads configured values from job.json, attaches them to parsed systems, and checks the data.
Model-deviation parameter handling dpgen/generator/arginfo.py, dpgen/generator/lib/lammps.py, dpgen/generator/run.py	Per-job temps entries can be dictionaries as well as floats. Model-deviation code passes conditioning declarations and parameter values to LAMMPS input generation. The LAMMPS helpers validate parameter values, emit scalar variables, and add nonempty fparam and aparam pair-style keywords.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 01f1e

Existing electron-temperature workflows (use_ele_temp 1 or 2) break in model-deviation and VASP post-processing. The new generic conditioning also fails when LAMMPS templates are used. Fix both problems before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 01f1e

The new conditioning contract is inconsistent between workflow stages, and existing electron-temperature configurations can fail during task preparation. These failures affect workflow completion and recovery. The inspected command-generation path constrains conditioning inputs to numeric values rather than arbitrary commands, but external configuration permissions and some dependency behavior remain unresolved.

Retained concerns

• Medium · architecture · observed: Native model-deviation preparation writes conditioning values under job.json.params, but FP extraction reads only top-level source or name keys. FP task preparation links that metadata without flattening it. A configured source supplied only through params therefore fails extraction; a source matching an existing top-level field can instead resolve a different value. This breaks ownership of conditioning values across generation and dataset construction and interrupts the iteration before completion.
• Medium · reliability · observed: Without explicit conditioning, normalization synthesizes ele_temp declarations for legacy modes. Native generation still supplies electron temperature through its legacy arguments, but also passes those declarations with an empty param_values mapping. The new generic lookup then raises a missing-value error after task directories and links have been created. Legacy frame-temperature template revision likewise appends generic bindings alongside the existing ELE_TEMP binding. The promised compatibility boundary is therefore not preserved, and failed preparation leaves recovery state without a completed task record.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — A party able to modify workflow configuration can influence fitting-network dimensions, conditioning dataset contents, and LAMMPS model inputs within that workflow. The inspected sources establish these data-control effects, but not the identity or permissions of configuration and metadata writers in deployed environments.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Configuration-derived LAMMPS identifiers replace non-alphanumeric characters with underscores and receive a fixed prefix. Conditioning values undergo numeric conversion and exact-width checking before float-formatted assignments. FP extraction additionally rejects non-finite values. These controls bound the inspected conditioning command path to numeric data rather than verbatim command fragments.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — FP extraction validates conditioning before appending the current system, and the iteration driver does not mark a failed post-processing task complete. This contains normal downstream progression, but does not provide transactional cleanup of previously exported system datasets.

- Line 2694: Reject explicit conditioning in the template-mode path of
revise_lmp_input_model before generating inputs, and ensure
_make_model_devi_revmat does not proceed with that unsupported configuration.
Preserve template-mode behavior when conditioning is absent.
- Line 2805: Guard calls to _normalize_conditioning in the native and template
model-deviation paths and post_fp_vasp so they pass normalized conditioning only
when jdata contains an explicitly non-empty conditioning value; otherwise pass
None. Preserve use_ele_temp=0 as the no-conditioning mode and leave the legacy
ele_temp handling active when generic conditioning is absent.
