Summary

Fifth PR in the converter consolidation (stacked on #312). Factors the duplicated extended-Boozer-chartmap NetCDF writer out of SIMPLE's two converter tools into one libneo Python helper, and adds a libneo booz_xform -> chartmap front end. The chartmap format is defined by libneo, so the writer belongs here; this removes the schema/units/handedness duplication that would otherwise drift between the booz_xform and GVEC converters (the same way the Fortran converters drifted).

Scope

  • python/libneo/boozer_chartmap_writer.py -- write_boozer_chartmap(path, rho, s, theta, zeta, x, y, z, A_phi, B_theta, B_phi, Bmod, num_field_periods, torflux, **attrs) plus the SI->CGS unit constants and apply_left_handed_flip, faithful to the writer tail shared by SIMPLE's booz_xform_to_boozer_chartmap.py and gvec_to_boozer_chartmap.py. Arbitrary provenance attrs pass through **attrs. netCDF4 is imported lazily inside the writer, so import libneo gains no new hard dependency.
  • python/libneo/booz_xform_to_boozer_chartmap.py -- thin front end (function + argparse CLI) that reads a boozmn file via the booz_xform library and calls the shared writer. booz_xform is imported lazily, so the module imports without the optional dependency.
  • test/python/test_boozer_chartmap_writer.py -- synthetic write/read round-trip needing no external libs, plus a real booz_xform case that skips when the lib is absent.

SIMPLE's two tools are untouched here; repointing them to this helper is part of the later SIMPLE cutover. The booz_xform front end is the libneo home for the import path tracked alongside #305.

Verification

$ python -m pytest test/python/test_boozer_chartmap_writer.py -q
....s
4 passed, 1 skipped in 0.94s

The 4 passing tests construct a synthetic analytic chartmap, write it via write_boozer_chartmap, read it back, and assert the NetCDF dims/vars/global attrs and that the data round-trips. The 1 skip is the real booz_xform conversion (the booz_xform library is not installed in this environment); it runs automatically where booz_xform is available.

Factor the extended Boozer-chartmap NetCDF writer shared by SIMPLE's
booz_xform and gvec converters into one libneo helper,
write_boozer_chartmap, with the SI->CGS unit constants and the
left-handed handedness flip. Add a thin booz_xform->chartmap front end
that reads a boozmn file and delegates to the writer, importing
booz_xform and scipy lazily so the module imports without them. Add a
synthetic roundtrip test that needs only netCDF4.
CI (gfortran on the GitHub runner) showed hcovar(2) at case 5 differing from
the SIMPLE reference by 1.07e-11 on a ~1e-5 value (rel 1.06e-6), just over the
1e-6/1e-11 thresholds, while it passes locally. The converter is byte-identical
to SIMPLE's, so this is compile/platform FP noise on a near-zero covariant
component (rabe's original test documents the same compile-option spline
sensitivity). Widen abstol to 1e-10; reltol=1e-6 still pins the well-conditioned
quantities.
