Description

The inventory tutorial shows the model and the verbs. This is the worked example: one deployment, from field notes to enriched patches.

The deployment is an underground tunnel — a 1500 m telemetry run in from an instrument room, a helically wound cable trenched along the floor past a buried coil, and three instrumented boreholes worked back along the tunnel. It comes from the survey drawing the DASDAE proposal site carried, which turns out to specify every distance and every coordinate; the recipe follows it rather than inventing its own.

The tables are the point

Every track in the authoring format is a spreadsheet, so the page writes the CSV and renders it back rather than reciting twenty-three constructor calls a reader would skip. What stays as objects is what has no rows: the cables, enclosures, and interrogators, which share no fields, and the acquisitions.

The hardware is resources/*.yaml, the tracks are optical_components.csv, geometry.csv, coupling.csv, and annotations.csv under path.00, and the whole directory then loads with dc.inventory.

What it documents that nothing else does

  • The wind angle stops at the geometry track. The trench cable is wound off-axis, so 25 m of fiber covers 22.15 m of tunnel. Two control points say so, every channel between them is placed by interpolating that, and nothing downstream has to know about $\cos\phi$. The page asserts the interpolated position rather than describing it.
  • A repair is an epoch, not an edit. A contractor puts a bucket through the trench cable fifteen meters of fiber in; it is fixed with two splices and a 2 m patch cord, and every channel past the repair moves. A second directory named path.00@2024-09-01 records that, the first path runs until the second begins, and a patch recorded across the boundary is subdivided by conform_to_inventory rather than assigned to whichever epoch happened to be checked first. The same channel is ten meters down borehole 3 in one piece and eight in the other, which the page asserts.
  • The repair slack has no position. The patch cord is coiled in a splice box, so the geometry describes the trench up to the break and again from it, and the two meters between get no coordinates. The page asserts that gap rather than describing it.
  • Selection can return more patches than it was given. select(section="borehole") on a spool of one patch gives three, because the three holes are three disjoint runs of fiber and a patch is a dense block of channels.

Executable, and derived rather than typed

Every {python} block runs under the doc-code tests. The components table is the only place a distance is written down: the other three tracks are generated from its running totals, so they cannot drift out of step with it, and the repair is a five-row edit to one table rather than forty hand-shifted distances across four.

The two figures come from the DASDAE inventory proposal site, which is being retired.

Review

Codex reviewed it and found eight things, of which the sharpest was that the figures and the page described different tunnels — the drawing has a 1500 m lead-in and 15 m links where the page had invented 40 m and 5 m. The page was rebuilt on the drawing. It also caught the distance_map running out before the repaired path did, so the last two channels of the longer epoch resolved to nothing; the patch cord being described as buried trench fiber when the point of it is that it has no position; and three smaller claims that were not true of the implementation (sequence is not a model field, Interrogator has no firmware, and a file named plainly .inventory is not one of the accepted spellings).

Changelog

  • added: a tunnel inventory recipe building a complete inventory for a deployment as an authoring directory of YAML and CSV files, then attaching, selecting, enriching, and conforming with it.

Checklist

I have:

  • filled in the Changelog section above (see docs/contributing/general_guidelines.qmd).

I have (if applicable):

  • referenced the GitHub issue this PR closes.
  • documented the new feature with docstrings and/or appropriate doc page.
  • included tests. See testing guidelines.
  • added the "ready_for_review" tag once the PR is ready to be reviewed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a comprehensive tunnel-inventory recipe covering DAS/DSS deployment inventory creation and validation.
    • Documented hardware, fiber arrays, optical components, geometry, coupling, annotations, acquisition settings, repairs, serialization, and automatic inventory discovery.
    • Added the recipe to the documentation’s Recipes navigation under a new Inventory section.

The tutorial shows the model and the verbs; this shows a whole
deployment. Three instrumented boreholes, a helically wound trench, and a
buried coil, recorded through two interrogators, written the way a field
crew would keep it -- small yaml files for the hardware and csv tables
for the tracks -- and then loaded, attached, selected on, and enriched.

The tables are the point. Every track in the authoring format is a
spreadsheet, so the page writes the csv and renders it back, rather than
reciting twenty-three constructor calls a reader would skip.

It also does the two things nothing else documents end to end: the
geometry track holding the wind angle so no consumer downstream has to
know about it, and a repair recorded as a path epoch, with a straddling
patch subdivided at the moment the contractor put a bucket through the
trench cable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds a Quarto recipe for a DAS/DSS tunnel inventory. The recipe defines resources, optical paths, geometry, coupling, annotations, acquisition metadata, patch enrichment, repair epochs, serialization, and inventory discovery. The Recipes navigation links to the new recipe.

Changes

Tunnel inventory recipe

Layer / File(s) Summary
Inventory authoring and resources
docs/recipes/tunnel_inventory.qmd, scripts/_templates/_quarto.yml
The recipe adds execution setup, field notes, an inventory-file helper, YAML resource definitions, and a Recipes navigation link.
Optical paths and acquisition metadata
docs/recipes/tunnel_inventory.qmd
The recipe defines optical components, distance spans, geometry, coupling, annotations, and DAS acquisition metadata.
Inventory loading and patch enrichment
docs/recipes/tunnel_inventory.qmd
The recipe loads and inspects the inventory, attaches a DAS patch, enriches it from inventory data, and validates coordinate and depth mappings.
Repair epochs and serialization
docs/recipes/tunnel_inventory.qmd
The recipe models a dated repair, validates cross-epoch patch conformance, serializes the repaired inventory to YAML, verifies round-trip loading, and documents inventory boundaries.

Possibly related PRs

  • DASDAE/dascore#899: Both PRs add inventory documentation and link it in the Quarto navigation. PR #899 focuses on the broader inventory tutorial and validation tests.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d3862

The new tunnel inventory recipe documents repaired paths, but the current example leaves the repair-cord interval without coupling and section metadata, which can produce incomplete enriched results for that segment; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to correct the example.

P2 Badge Extend the repaired coil annotation to its new endpoint

When the repair epoch is created, this replacement moves the coil annotation's start from 427.7 to 429.7 but leaves its end at 437.7. The repaired component and coupling tracks place the ten-meter coil at 429.7–439.7, so enriching repaired data leaves the final two meters without section="coil", and select(section="coil") silently drops those channels.

P2 Badge Keep the repair slack out of the trench coupling interval

For the repaired epoch, expanding the original trench interval to 370.0–429.7 also covers the 395.0–397.0 patch cord. The recipe states that this cord is coiled in the splice box, but enrichment and selection will report it as directly buried in soil at 0.5 m depth; split the trench coupling around the repair and describe or leave undefined the slack interval separately.

P2 Badge Provide separate fibers for the DAS and DSS paths

The trench cable is declared to contain only one fiber, but both path.00 and path.01 use it while the recipe explicitly describes the DSS as being on its own, different fiber. Readers copying this inventory therefore get a physical asset model that cannot represent the stated simultaneous DAS and DSS deployment; the cable needs at least two fibers with distinct fiber_number values, or the paths need separate cable resources.

P2 Badge Place the trench within reach of its connecting fiber

The third borehole head is placed at (60, 0, 0), but after only a 5 m pigtail and a 20 m connecting component the trench begins at (0, 0, -0.5). Even the straight-line separation is about 60 m, so this geometry cannot describe the continuous optical path in the component table and assigns the trench channels to the wrong part of the site; the trench should start near the reachable continuation of the borehole sequence, or the connecting component must reflect the actual route length.

P2 Badge Add geometry for the DSS optical path

Because geometry is stored per OpticalPath, creating path.01 with only components and coupling does not inherit the surveyed trench coordinates from path.00. DSS patches enriched through XT.TUN1.01.DSS therefore receive no x, y, or z coordinates even though the recipe says this fiber occupies the same trench; write a path.01/geometry.csv with its own 40.0–97.7 distance range.

P2 Badge Align the deployment diagram with the worked inventory

The SVG presented as this deployment's map/profile includes a visible 1500 m dimension and repeated 25 m spans, while the recipe defines a 40 m lead-in, 20 m borehole spacing, and no 1500 m component anywhere. Readers cannot reconcile the field notes and generated tables with the diagram, so the imported proposal figure should be updated or replaced with one using the recipe's dimensions.

P2 Badge Extend the DAS distance map after the repair

The repair lengthens path.00 to 439.7 m, but this acquisition remains bounded at instrument/path distance 437.7. DistanceMap.map_to_distance returns NaN outside its control-point range, so post-repair channels at instrument distances 438 and 439 cannot be placed on the newly added tail of the path and receive none of its geometry, coupling, or annotations even if those tracks are corrected; add a matching acquisition epoch with a 439.7 endpoint or use an identity map whose domain covers both path epochs.

Codex noticed that the figures and the page described different tunnels.
The drawing is not an illustration: it is a survey, with lettered
waypoints, a 1500 m telemetry lead-in, fifteen-meter links between every
feature, and coordinates on the tunnel's own grid. The page had a
smaller deployment invented to keep the numbers round.

The drawing wins. Every distance now comes from it, the winding factor
is the 0.886 its coordinates are computed with, and the survey points
are the ones it letters. The second interrogator is gone with them --
the drawing shows one fiber route, and a DSS path nobody surveyed would
have been the same fiction in a different place.

Three of its other findings come with it: the distance map ran out
before the repaired path did, so the last two channels of the longer
epoch resolved to nothing; the repair's patch cord was described as
buried trench fiber when the point of it is that it is coiled in a
splice box with no position at all; and "25 m in" meant optical meters
while reading as trench meters. The tracks are now derived from the
components table rather than typed against it, which is what makes the
repair a five-row edit instead of forty hand-shifted distances.

A resource_id names an asset, not a kind, and the page had one splice
box standing for the boxes at A and E, one turnaround housing standing
for three holes down three separate boreholes, and the repair's patch
cord declared as a length of the cable it was spliced into. Anyone
adding a serial number or a maintenance record to one of those would
have been describing all of them. The links between features also
belong to the connecting cable the drawing distinguishes from the
telemetry run, not to the run itself.

Four more of Codex's findings: the break is fifteen meters into the
trench rather than past box A, which is two and a half meters of drop
away; the example patch had five channels past the end of the fiber;
`.inventory.json` holds what model_dump_json writes rather than what
to_yaml does; and a link's first channel does get a position, since it
is the surveyed point the run before it ended on.

All eight inline comments were written against e6cd27fe, the first push. The page was rebuilt in 3a007f48 and d3862a8c after a local review made the same catch the diagram comment did — the figures specified a different deployment than the page — so each of them is resolved, though mostly by the ground moving rather than by a targeted fix.

The diagram against the inventory. Taken, and it was the important one. The drawing is not an illustration: it is a survey, with lettered waypoints, a 1500 m telemetry lead-in, 15 m links between every feature, and coordinates on the tunnel's own grid. Every distance in the page now comes from it, and the winding factor is the 0.886 its coordinates are computed with rather than the 0.866 the old prose claimed.

The coil annotation, and the repair slack in the trench coupling. Both gone by construction. The three interval tracks are now generated from the components table's running totals rather than written against it, so a component whose distance moves takes its coupling and its annotation with it. The patch cord is excluded from the trench parts, and channel 1518 — inside the repair — now comes out with no section and a nan position, which is the point of it.

The distance map bounded before the repaired path. Taken. The map now runs to 2000 m, past both epochs, and the page says why: a map that stops where today's fiber does stops working the day the fiber gets longer.

The trench out of reach of borehole 3. Resolved by the survey. The trench is between boxes A and E, and the boreholes are worked back along the tunnel afterwards, which is the order the drawing shows; there is no longer a 60 m jump between consecutive components.

Both DSS findings — the single-fiber trench cable, and path.01 having no geometry. The second optical path is gone. The drawing shows one fiber route, and a DSS path nobody surveyed would have been the same fiction in a different place. That a second interrogator would be a second path at its own location code is now one sentence of prose, with no invented data under it.
