microlens-submit v0.17.9 Release Notes

Release Date: 2026-05-08

Highlights

This release fixes two validation issues reported by challenge users:

• RMDC event IDs now validate case-insensitively and use the six-digit challenge format, for example rmdc26_000139.
• 2S2L is now recognized as a valid model type wherever model definitions are generated from parameter_spec.yaml.

Changes

Added

• Tier model-type metadata is now generated from parameter_spec.yaml.
• Spec drift checks now cover generated model status, tier event formats, allowed model types, and allowed higher-order effects.

Changed

• Current RMDC tiers use event_prefix: "rmdc26_" plus six-digit formatting, avoiding accidental extra zeros in generated IDs.
• Event ID validation normalizes case before comparison.
• Generated MODEL_DEFINITIONS now includes all model types declared in the parameter spec, with each model's status preserved.
• CLI model-type validation and typo suggestions now use generated model definitions rather than stale hardcoded lists.

Fixed

• Fixed valid 2S2L solutions being rejected as Unknown model type.
• Fixed model-type error messages so the reported valid types stay synchronized with parameter_spec.yaml.
• Preserved the legacy 2018-test three-digit ulwdc1_293 event format while applying six-digit formatting to current RMDC tiers.

Validation

• python -m pytest -q passed with 91 tests.
• python spec/check_spec_drift.py reported no drift.
