From 35a7cd870d685c33f7b16f0d6d3d1107ad3f6e86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: bartzbeielstein <32470350+bartzbeielstein@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 19:55:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] test: make sequential regression test platform-portable The byte-identity check (assert_array_equal vs a golden fixture captured on macOS) failed on Linux CI: seeded SpotOptim results are bit-identical only on the same platform/BLAS, and an iterative surrogate trajectory amplifies floating-point rounding into different (equally valid) optima across platforms. Assert portable invariants instead: same-seed determinism (bit-exact within a run), exact evaluation budget (nfev/nit/success), and convergence quality in the golden ballpark. The fixture still supplies the case definitions and the budget/quality references.
