The case files freeze the axes below. This page is the human-readable execution contract; it is not a simulation launcher.

Device	Spatial resolution	Runtime	PML	Padding
Quan–Lončar	28, 35 steps/λ	60, 90 ps	12, 16 layers	1.25, 1.5625 wavelengths in cladding
Design23	18, 20 steps/λ	64, 96 ps	12, 16 layers	baseline, 1.25× refinement

Before any paid job

• [x] Freeze exact historical candidate geometry IDs.
• [x] Keep initial and optimized variants paired by all simulation settings.
• [x] Define the “final above initial in every matched variant” gate.
• [ ] Generate dry-run task count and solver cost estimate.
• [ ] Obtain explicit budget authorization.
• [ ] Record solver version and immutable simulation JSON for every task.

Required output per endpoint

• resonance frequency/wavelength, Q, fitting error, mode identity, and localization;
• convergence across spatial, runtime, PML, and padding variants;
• matched-axis geometry and explicit material legend;
• matched field planes with quantity/component, wavelength, normalization, and color limits;
• spectrum and ringdown diagnostic with matched axes;
• task ID, cost, source artifact, plotting generator, and caption provenance.

Promotion rule

A device claim remains provisional if any executed matched variant changes mode, fails the fit threshold, lacks provenance, or has final Q at or below initial Q. The central ratio will be chosen by the declared refinement rule, not by the largest observed value.
