Help wanted: independent clean-install reproduction of open-source scientific software

I am seeking one independent person to test whether the public v0.1.1 release of nfc-crystallography can be installed and verified from a fresh checkout in an environment I do not control.

This is a bounded software-reproducibility task. It does not require crystallographic expertise, raw diffraction data, scientific endorsement, or agreement with Nested Fibrational Cosmology.

The reproducer would:

  • clone and check out the immutable v0.1.1 release;
  • create a clean Python 3.10 or 3.12 environment;
  • run the published lint, tests, verification, and build commands;
  • install and verify the generated wheel in a second environment;
  • publish the complete transcript, including every warning, workaround, or failure.

A failed reproduction is just as important to report as a successful one. The objective is to learn whether another person can use the released artifact without access to my development workspace or private assistance.

The complete checklist is public here:

https://github.com/etblink/nfc-crystallography/issues/6

A successful run would establish independent reproduction of the released software and its compact verification records. It would not constitute independent empirical validation, production readiness, validation of D6–D7, or evidence for NFC as a cosmology or Theory of Everything.

This is independent, solo, AI-assisted research. Public acknowledgement will be included with the reproducer’s permission.

@etblink, ¿hace cuánto lo tenés en uso? quiero saber si la durabilidad es buena a largo plazo

Hola @wgonz,

Gracias por el comentario. El post no trata de un software que ya esté en uso prolongado ni de su “durabilidad” a largo plazo.

Es una solicitud concreta de ayuda para una reproducción independiente y limpia de la versión pública v0.1.1 de nfc-crystallography: clonar el tag inmutable, crear un entorno Python limpio, ejecutar los comandos de lint/tests/verificación/build publicados, instalar la wheel en un segundo entorno, y publicar el transcript completo (éxito o fallo sirven igual).

El objetivo es comprobar si otra persona puede usar el artefacto liberado sin acceso a mi entorno de desarrollo. No requiere expertise en cristalografía ni implica validación científica de NFC.

Si te interesa hacer esa prueba (o tienes dudas sobre los pasos del checklist en el issue de GitHub), avísame. Si no, no hay problema.
