Remove empty Parameter table from the Docs

1

It looks like we removed some parameters that left a parameter table in the docs empty, which makes the docs look silly and make the formatting iffy: https://terrapower.github.io/armi/user/spatial_block_parameters.html#spatial-block-parameters The docs...

Remove Nuclide Flags

2

@drewj-tp and @keckler suggest that we remove the nuclide flags feature from ARMI. They put forward the notion that Nuclide Flags do not add value for them, and frequently slow...

runLog.error should raise an error

4

There are currently 117 places in ARMI where `runLog.error()` is called, and it logs a message at the error level. For instance: https://github.com/terrapower/armi/blob/0e830d2c8dece43c57b657caefaed8e8c7ba276b/armi/settings/setting.py#L190 https://github.com/terrapower/armi/blob/0e830d2c8dece43c57b657caefaed8e8c7ba276b/armi/reactor/assemblyParameters.py#L139 But what is the purpose of...

There are too many (hex) assembly-specific tools in App

2

It has been noted that the default ARMI `App()` actually has a lot of hex-assembly or even SFR assumptions in it. Well, after we make some new `Core` subclasses for...

ARMI Warnings should be more intelligble and dispositionable

1

When an ARMI-based reactor simulation finishes it produces a table describing all the warnings that were found during the run: https://github.com/terrapower/armi/blob/0e830d2c8dece43c57b657caefaed8e8c7ba276b/armi/runLog.py#L621-L624 It is a common need in nuclear reactor modeling...

ARMI should be better at helping people identify what is a Pin

1

ARMI needs to provide a central interface for identifying a `PIN`. 1. First, beg / force / make people downstream use the `PIN` flag. 2. Provide a central ARMI function...

Redesign ARMI Materials to be based on YAML data files

6

After much [discussion](https://github.com/terrapower/armi/discussions/767), we have determined the ARMI materials are hard to use well and they do not sufficiently separate data from code. > The best solution seems to be...

We are currently ignoring ruff rule `D404`: https://github.com/terrapower/armi/blob/477d132e901f65d1b778b958ba61cb291d42bdf8/pyproject.toml#L187 We are not doing this for a _good_ reason, it will just take a minute to fix it. Essentially, docstrings shouldn't start...

There has been the request to give the option to turn certain doc sections in the PDF: * ignore all SCR / release notes in the HTMl EXCEPT the current...

Trying to speed up docs build with Docker

3

## What is the change? Why is it being made? The ARMI docs build on GitHub is failing or hanging a lot lately. I am testing out solutions. ## SCR...
