somax

Ordered methodology for bringing up a somax ocean simulation (SWM / QG, single- and multi-layer) so it runs stably without wasting compute or tokens. Use whenever a model is failing to integrate, blowing up (NaN/Inf), running too slowly, or when configuring a new double-gyre / wind-driven run. Encodes the resolution↔forcing↔viscosity↔dt consistency constraints, a fail-fast observability-first workflow, and the start-small-then-scale loop.
