Ask it questions about your data and models, hand it files, and follow along as it works — replies stream in as they're generated, and each conversation is saved so you can pick it back up later. The Agent runs in an isolated sandbox per organization. It's rolling out to a limited set of organizations first and will become more widely available over the coming weeks. ## Battery Cycler Simulator, now in your projects The protocol simulator has moved out of a standalone page and **into your projects**, so simulations live alongside the cells, studies, and models they belong to. A new **Quick model** option lets you simulate straight away without first saving a parameterized model — just pick a chemistry and set a capacity and resistance scale inline. Prefer a fitted model? The **From library** toggle still runs against any of your saved cell → parameterized-model selections. ## Plan and track lab tests The Lab view gained a full **test scheduler**. Request a test on a channel and the platform validates the protocol up front — an invalid protocol is rejected before the request is saved, with a clear message about what's wrong. The scheduling dialog shows each channel's live availability and electrical ratings as you pick, and you can copy an existing request to seed a new one or delete one you no longer need. An optional organization **Programs** catalog lets you tag each test with the program it belongs to, visible on the Lab wall and planning table. Engineers can also **watch a channel** to keep an eye on the test they care about and filter the Lab wall down to just those — and because a watch is tied to the run currently on the channel, it clears itself automatically the moment that test finishes. **Improvements** * **Battery Cycler Simulator** moved into projects, with a new **Quick model** option to simulate without a saved parameterized model. * **Lab test scheduler** — request, copy, and delete tests on a channel; invalid protocols are rejected on submit with an actionable error. * **Programs** — an optional organization catalog for tagging planned tests, surfaced on the Lab wall and planning table. * **Watch a channel** to follow its live test and filter the Lab wall to your watched channels; watches clear automatically when the test completes. * A cell specification can now designate a **default parameterized model**; the first model created for a spec becomes its default automatically. * Measurement details gained a derived **Power \[W]** column (voltage × current) selectable in the Time Series tab. * The measurement **Differential Analysis** tab now plots **dQ/dV** in addition to dV/dQ, switchable from a plot-type dropdown. * Material property datasets and analyses now track their **source** — when a dataset or analysis was computed from a pipeline or another analysis, you can see and click through to where its data came from. * Organization admins can **resend an invite** or **send a password reset** to a member directly from the Members tab, and adding a member by email now distinguishes newly invited from already-registered users. * Lab can now be shown or hidden per organization from the admin Navigation settings, like the other feature areas. **Fixes** * A stale browser tab left open across a deploy now **reloads itself** to pick up the new version instead of showing a maintenance page. * Plot axes, tick labels, and titles are now legible in **dark mode** on validation and other charts. * Adding a member by email is now case-insensitive, so a differently-cased address no longer creates a mismatch. * Cycler and channel detail pages no longer error on load for equipment with linked child records. **Improvements** * MSMR half-cell OCP fits now constrain the fitted host-site occupancy fractions (Xⱼ) to sum to 1, so the values exported and reused downstream are self-consistent. **Fixes** * A DataFit whose every evaluation is non-finite now **fails with a clear error** instead of silently returning the initial guesses as if the fit had succeeded. **Improvements** * Fitted models now persist their **simulation settings** (mesh and solver configuration), so a model simulates the same way wherever it's used. The `Model` and `ParameterizedModel` clients expose the setting and document how to build it from live PyBaMM objects via `iws.models.SimulationSettings(...)`. * `SimplePipeline.create` now accepts a schema object directly (matching `Pipeline.create`), so you no longer need to call `.to_config()` yourself; dicts still work unchanged. * New `JobClient.get_plot_data(job_id, objective_name, …)` returns a DataFit's model-vs-data overlay directly from a completed job. **Improvements** * Impedance (EIS) simulations for the Equivalent Circuit Model now run through the same standard PyBaMM machinery as every other model. **Fixes** * Arbin protocols whose step end conditions aggregate per-channel temperatures (e.g. `max(Temperature, …) > 55`) now parse correctly instead of failing with an invalid-end-condition error.
