Fix biased radial sampling in StellaratorSource
📝 Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The new stellarator source is additive. Two small issues remain. First, with strongly shaped equilibria the sampled angular distribution may be biased without any warning. Second, DESC import rejects some path-like file arguments. The source can be merged with these fixes as a quick follow-up. Security Architecture Review

Accept any os.PathLike in _desc_spectral_data.
The path check uses isinstance(eq, (str, Path)), so it misses other os.PathLike values. For example, a custom PathLike object goes to the live-equilibrium branch, and eq.R_basis then raises AttributeError. The from_desc docstring promises "path-like" input.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Detect an envelope violation instead of truncating the angular density without a warning.
envelope_[bin] is exact along t, because quad_max01 is exact. In the angles, it is only the maximum over a discrete grid with n_theta = max(64, 8*m_max), times a 1.05 safety factor. The density R*tau has poloidal bandwidth up to 3*m_max, so the grid has about 2.7 points per period of the highest harmonic. If strong high-m modes push f above env between grid points, the condition prn(seed) * env < f accepts every such point. The sampled density is then clipped at env, and the source distribution is biased without any diagnostic.
Check f > env at the acceptance point. Raise a fatal_error when the check fails, or emit a one-time warning that tells the user to increase angular resolution. Both options cost almost nothing, because f is already computed.

Description
This PR introduces the
StellaratorSourceclass for improving stellarator relevant workflows. It includes class methodsfrom_vmecandfrom_descfor reading equilibrium files from the two 3D MHD equilibrium codes commonly used for stellarator plasmas (VMEC and DESC respectively).The flux surface geometry for the stellarator is represented by Fourier coefficients that are defined per flux surface and are interpolated linearly. The general sampling algorithm is outlined as below:
An example from a W7-X equilibrium file showing the resulting histogram of sampled source sites at three different toroidal angles is shown below.
Original sampling algorithms and API were designed by me with implementation and documentation by the AI model below. @paulromano improved the radial marginal distribution sampling by replacing the
Tabulardistribution and CDF inversion with a combination of alias sampling based on exactly integrated bin weights and within-bin rejection as outlined in eepeterson#11.Verification of the sampling methods for the marginal radial distribution as well as the joint angular distributions can be seen in the two figures below as well.
