Thanks for this — it is a substantial, carefully built feature, and the parts I stress-tested hold up well. Before the findings, two things you should know.
CI has never run on this PR. You are a first-time contributor, so GitHub Actions needs a maintainer to approve the workflow, and nobody has. The three green checks are CodeRabbit, Read the Docs and pre-commit.ci — commit statuses, not tests. build (3.9) and build (3.13) have never executed. I ran the 52 relevant tests locally myself and they all pass, so this is not a criticism of your work; I will get the workflow approved so you get real signal.
What I checked and found solid, so it does not get relitigated: the COLVAR parser fails closed on every malformed input I tried (missing header, mismatched field count, NaN/inf, non-monotonic time, duplicate labels); interval semantics are exactly lower-inclusive/upper-exclusive including for negative and degenerate bounds; quota allocation across regions and cells never over- or under-allocates across 18 parameter combinations; random is seeded and the seed survives the jsonpickle round-trip, so reruns are reproducible; and every documented rule in docs/input.md matches the implementation — I built a rule-by-rule and key-by-key table and found no contradiction. Backward compatibility is genuinely clean: with cv_filter absent, no CV code runs and no audit files are written.
I also want to correct something before it wastes your time. An earlier reading of mine suggested the new validate_plm_outputs would break workflows that mix a PLUMED task group with a non-PLUMED one, by receiving a short list. That is wrong — dflow's exec_sign_check fills a declared-optional artifact with None before archiving and the catalog records the slice order, so gaps are padded and the list arrives full length. Please disregard it.
Blocking
Three findings, all inline, all reproduced by running the code rather than reading it. The first is the important one.
Not blocking
-
plm_output_fileis validated in the wrong place, with the wrong exception type.normalize_configrejects a path-like value, but it is only called fromexecute()inside the pod — I loaded the real submit-time schema and{"plm_output_file": "outputs/COLVAR"}passes normalization cleanly. It is also a bareValueError; dflow maps onlyTransientError→1 andFatalError→2, and an uncaught exception also exits 1, so withretry_on_transient_errorset a permanently-broken config gets retried. Everywhere else in this PR you correctly useFatalError— this is the one spot that differs. -
The collision check is not exhaustive. It covers names staged in
task_path, but model symlinks are created afterwards and the stale-output unlink runs after that. Withplm_output_file = "model.000.pb"I watched the model get deleted before LAMMPS started. Unlikely to be chosen by accident, but rejecting the generated names too (or unlinking before creating any links) closes it. -
ConfSelector.selectgainedplm_outputsbutMockedConfSelectorintests/mocked_ops.pywas not updated — currently masked by theif plm_outputs is not Noneshim inselect_confs.py. Worth updating the mock and dropping the shim.
Smaller things, take or leave: the ten nested Argument() calls in PlumedCVFilter.args() have no doc=, and they render into the published docs via docs/submit_args.rst; plm_output is not registered in download_dpgen2_artifacts.py, so users cannot fetch the CV data that drove the selection (#299 set the precedent of adding it in the same commit); and the stale-output guard in run_lmp.py is unreachable in the retry scenario its own comment describes — I reproduced a real retry and the symlink loop raises FileExistsError first, so the guard and its test both exercise a state that cannot occur.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is the blocker. Recomputing _no_candidate here overloads a flag that already means something else, and the existing consumer turns it into an unrecoverable abort.
convergence_check_stage_scheduler.py does:
if report.no_candidate():
raise FatalError(
"... it does not selected any candidate configuration. This means the"
" quality of the model would not be improved ... Please try to"
" increase the higher trust levels. "
)Reproduced against this head:
traj_cand [{1, 2}] no_candidate() False candidate_ratio() 0.5
after restrict_candidate_ids([[0]]):
traj_cand [set()] no_candidate() True candidate_ratio() 0.5 <- stale
converged() False -> FatalError "...increase the higher trust levels."
_no_candidate previously meant "the trust window is empty everywhere, so the model cannot improve" — a genuine dead end where stopping is right. "The MD did not enter the CV window this iteration" is a different and normally transient condition, and it is the expected early-iteration state for a feature whose stated purpose is targeting reaction-coordinate windows. The correct response is another iteration, which is already bounded by max_numb_iter; instead the campaign aborts and the message points at a knob that has nothing to do with the cause.
Suggest a separate flag for "CV filter emptied the set" that does not feed the trust-level abort, or at minimum a distinct message. ExplorationReportAdaptiveLower.restrict_candidate_ids has the same line and needs the same treatment.
Secondary, same method: _candidate_ratio, _accurate_ratio and _failed_ratio are not recomputed, so the report prints the pre-filter ratio while zero frames were selected. converged() does not read it, so this is a reporting inaccuracy rather than a second bug — but those three became caches in the same commit that introduced _no_candidate, and updating one of the group without the others is what makes the state inconsistent.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This default makes the feature unusable out of the box, and fails late.
plm_output_name is "output.plumed", and that name is already taken: revise_lmp_input_plm writes fix dpgen_plm all plumed plumedfile %s outfile %s with out_plm=plm_output_name, i.e. it is PLUMED's log stream. That call is hard-wired at task-generation time and is not driven by this knob — I grepped, there is exactly one call site and it never sees plm_output_file.
So a user who enables cv_filter and leaves this at its default hands a PLUMED log to a COLVAR parser. Confirmed at this head:
PlumedCVFilter._read(<a real PLUMED log>)
-> FatalError: PLUMED numeric row precedes FIELDS header in output.plumed
and it surfaces in SelectConfs, after the LAMMPS run has already spent the compute. Nothing cross-validates "cv_filter is set" against "plm_output_file is still the default" at submit time.
Your first docs example does the right thing ("plm_output_file": "COLVAR" with PRINT ... FILE=COLVAR), but the later cv_filter snippets omit the config block, so it is easy to miss. Two options, either is fine: change the default to something that cannot collide with the log (or to None, meaning "required when cv_filter is set"), or add a submit-time check that rejects the combination with a message naming both keys.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Row-count equality is the only unconditional alignment check, and it is not sufficient — a COLVAR with the right number of rows but a different phase is silently accepted, and row i is then treated as frame i.
Reproduced at this head, no time_alignment configured:
COLVAR time = 10, 20, 30 against a 3-frame trajectory
-> ACCEPTED, no error, no warning
-> selected frame indices [[0]]
If the true correspondence is offset by one dump interval, the structure that actually carries that CV value is frame 1, and dpgen2 labels frame 0 instead. Wrong training data, no diagnostic. For a feature whose entire job is choosing which structures to label, this is the failure mode that matters most.
The offset is reachable: dpgen2 sets the dump cadence via trj_freq, but PRINT ... STRIDE comes from the user's own PLUMED template, which dpgen2 never reads. Equal strides with a nonzero phase — equilibration then reset_timestep, a PLUMED RESTART, PLUMED attached mid-run — all give equal row counts with misaligned frames. The docs only say the stride must match; they say nothing about the start.
Worth noting your docs/input.md already promises the stronger behaviour: "The filter fails if the file, field, finite values, strictly increasing time, or row-to-trajectory alignment is invalid." That is only true when the opt-in time_alignment block is present.
I looked at whether time_alignment could just default on, and it is not trivial — the filter is constructed once in make_lmp_naive_exploration_scheduler, before the per-stage loop where trj_freq is defined, and different task groups can use different values. So I am not asking for auto-derivation. Requiring time_alignment whenever cv_filter is set would close it, as would deriving the expected step from the COLVAR's own first two time values and checking the rest against it — that needs no plumbing at all.
Minor, related: atol defaults to 1e-8 with rtol=0.0, which is tighter than PLUMED's default print precision guarantees for a coarse FMT, so an explicitly-configured time_alignment can false-positive.

Summary
#! FIELDSlabels, multidimensional AND conditions, and named-region unionscv_filterMotivation and design
Model deviation alone can concentrate labeling on frequently visited configurations. This change allows candidate selection to focus on user-defined reaction-coordinate windows while retaining model deviation as the first uncertainty gate.
Condition keys are exact labels from the PLUMED
COLVARheader and do not depend on column order or chemistry-specific names. Conditions in one region are ANDed, while named regions are ORed. For example:Intervals are lower-inclusive and upper-exclusive. Disjoint intervals are expressed as separate named regions. If
samplingis omitted, one common CV uses 10 equal-width bins and two common CVs use a 10 by 10 grid; the largest force model deviation is selected from each populated bin or cell. Explicit reproducible random sampling and the original report selection policy remain available.The selector writes
cv_selection.csvandcv_selection_summary.json, including trajectory and frame identifiers, PLUMED time, CV values, force model deviation, matched regions, and bin or cell provenance. Invalid fields, non-finite values, or trajectory/COLVAR misalignment fail closed.Compatibility
The feature is disabled unless
cv_filteris configured. Existing exploration and candidate-selection behavior is unchanged otherwise. Custom PLUMED actions may continue to be loaded with PLUMED's standardLOADmechanism.Validation
