This outline summarizes the completed ASD agent tutorial and the BO extension.
- Define GA and NGA surfaces.
- Explain saturating precursor and coreactant response.
- Show nucleation delays, inhibitor blocking, temperature response, and noise.
- Emphasize that the model is educational and non-predictive.

- Run deterministic rule-based search.
- Compare random and grid baselines.
- Inspect ledgers, success criteria, and failure categories.
Notebook: notebooks/02_rule_based_optimization.ipynb
- Explain strict tools:
propose_experimentsandfinish_optimization. - Separate Codex as software-building agent from the scientific optimization agent.
- Demonstrate no-API deterministic alternatives.
Notebook: notebooks/03_llm_agent.ipynb
- Compare random, grid, rule-based, and optional LLM methods.
- Generate summary plots and discuss failure modes.
Notebook: notebooks/04_benchmark_and_failure_analysis.ipynb
- Define one-dimensional saturation-process families.
- Compare fixed grid, generic GP, and physics-informed GP.
- Discuss t95 estimation, cumulative dose, calibration, and misspecification.
Notebook: notebooks/05_bayesian_active_learning_for_saturation.ipynb
- Define objectives and constraints for two-surface ASD optimization.
- Explain why selectivity alone is insufficient.
- Compare constrained MOBO against random, grid, and rule-based search.
Notebook: notebooks/06_constrained_multiobjective_asd_optimization.ipynb
- Use BO as the numerical optimizer.
- Use the LLM to inspect history, request candidates, explain choices, and propose bounded interventions.
- Run the fake LLM by default.
Notebook: notebooks/07_hybrid_llm_bo_agent.ipynb
- Configure paired smoke, pilot, and paper profiles.
- Generate paired statistical summaries and failure taxonomies.
- Keep hypotheses separate from conclusions.
Notebook: notebooks/08_research_benchmark_and_statistics.ipynb
- Export validated manual lab plans.
- Import completed measurements.
- Continue BO from accepted human-operated measurements.
- Document remaining work before any real laboratory validation.
