CI has not checked the geometry for overlaps so far. BuildAndReadBack only builds the SQLite file and reads it back. The static asserts compare axis-aligned container boxes, so they miss overlaps between the real shapes and anything deeper in the tree.

This adds an OverlapCheck ctest. It runs gmclash -n 100 on the file BuildAndReadBack writes (through a ctest fixture, so the geometry is built once) and passes the report to tests/check_clashes.py. The script compares it with tests/known_clashes.json and fails when:

  • a clash is not in the list,
  • a known clash is deeper than its recorded depth plus max(1 mm, 5 %),
  • a known clash no longer appears (remove it from the list), or
  • an entry has no issue number.

The list starts with the 62 clashes gmclash finds on main today. Each one belongs to an open issue: #117 (muon shield and SND), #118 (trackers and magnet), #119 (coils), #120 (cavern floor, the 0.1 mm protrusion of the magn_5 return yoke) and #125 (the muon-shield boxes). One clash was not mentioned anywhere before: in magn_3, mag_ret_r lies entirely inside mag_top_right. It comes from the same box approximation, so it is listed under #125.

After an intended geometry change, refresh the list with check_clashes.py build/gmclash_report.json tests/known_clashes.json --update and give every new entry an issue number. The README says the same.

The check takes about 3.5 minutes on my machine. That is short enough to run in the existing test task, so the workflows are unchanged. ctest -LE overlap skips it locally. gmclash uses a fixed seed, and two runs gave identical reports.

The test runs on x86_64 only. On aarch64 gmclash samples different random points, so Geant4 reports other partners and depths for the same 62 clashing volumes and the list does not match. The geometry is the same there, and widening the tolerance enough to cover it would make the depth bound meaningless.

Limits: Geant4 reports at most one clash per volume, so a second clash on a listed volume can stay hidden. With 100 points per volume a very thin overlap can be missed, and the reported depth is a sampled lower bound.

Tested: BuildAndReadBack and OverlapCheck pass locally. Edited baselines (an entry removed, a fake entry added, a bound halved, an issue number missing) each fail with the matching message. The x86_64 report in CI matches the local one.

Closes #121

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automated geometry-overlap validation using sampled test points on supported x86_64 systems when required tools are available.
    • Added validation against a maintained list of known geometry clashes, detecting new, worsened, fixed, and undocumented clashes.
    • Added an option to refresh the known-clash list while preserving existing issue references.
    • Added an initial catalog of known SHiP geometry clashes.
  • Documentation

    • Documented overlap-check behavior, failure conditions, runtime expectations, skip instructions, and list-refresh commands.

Add an OverlapCheck ctest that runs gmclash (Geant4 CheckOverlaps, 100
random points per volume) on the geometry BuildAndReadBack writes, and
compares the report with tests/known_clashes.json. It fails on a clash
that is not in the list, on a known one that got deeper, on a known one
that is gone, and on an entry without an issue number. The report is
reproducible because gmclash uses a fixed seed.

The list starts with the 62 clashes gmclash reports today, all filed:
#117 (muon shield and SND), #118 (trackers and magnet), #119 (coils),
#120 (cavern floor, magn_5 return yoke) and #125 (muon-shield boxes).
The check adds about three and a half minutes to the test run; skip it
with ctest -LE overlap.

Closes #121

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds a known-clash baseline and a Python validator for gmclash reports. CMake conditionally registers an OverlapCheck test for built geometry. The README documents validation behavior and update commands.

Changes: Geometry overlap check

Layer / File(s) Summary
Known-clash data and validation
tests/known_clashes.json, tests/check_clashes.py
The JSON file records 50 known clashes and issue numbers. The validator deduplicates reports, checks unknown, deeper, and missing clashes, validates issue numbers, and supports baseline updates.
CTest integration and instructions
tests/CMakeLists.txt, README.md
CMake registers OverlapCheck on x86_64 when gmclash and Python 3 are available. The test runs gmclash on the geometry database and validates its report. The README documents the test behavior and commands.

Explanation

Issue #121 requires a CTest overlap check for the built geometry. BuildAndReadBack provides the geometry_db fixture, and OverlapCheck runs gmclash -n 100 on that database. check_clashes.py rejects unlisted clashes, excessive depth, fixed known clashes, and missing or invalid issue numbers. The known-clash list provides the required maintained baseline. The implementation satisfies the coding requirements in #121.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes in tests/CMakeLists.txt, tests/check_clashes.py, tests/known_clashes.json, and README.md directly implement or document the overlap-check objective in #121. The additional known-clash entries support the maintained baseline. No unrelated change is established by the available evidence.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 8 functions across 1 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Reconcile the baseline with the aarch64 report before changing tolerance.

gmclash uses a fixed seed, and check_clashes.py already allows a maximum of 1 mm or 5% depth variation. The 20 reported problems include larger depth changes and fixed clashes, so sampling randomness or the configured tolerance does not explain this failure.

If the geometry change is intentional, regenerate tests/known_clashes.json from the aarch64 report and assign issue numbers to every new clash. Otherwise, fix the platform-dependent geometry difference and retain the baseline. Do not simply widen the tolerance.

On aarch64 gmclash samples different random points, so Geant4 reports
other partners and depths for the same 62 clashing volumes, and the
known list does not match. The geometry is the same there, so restrict
the test to x86_64, where the report is reproducible, rather than
widening the tolerance.

Also quote the paths in the test command, and require each known clash
to carry a positive integer issue number.

Use the Python 3 executable in the refresh command.

README.md:86-89 invokes python, but the CMake gate requires only Python3_EXECUTABLE. A supported x86_64 environment can run OverlapCheck while lacking the unversioned python command, causing this documented refresh command to fail.
