MAX-Core v2.5.0

MAX-Core v2.5.0 This release introduces a complete research pipeline for structural collapse surface analysis. What's New 1. WorldBank Stability Pipeline worldbank_pipeline generates structured collapse data in CSV format: country,rho,lambda_phi,lambda_m,collapse_year It performs parameter sweeps over structural load (rho) and regeneration coefficients (lambda_phi, lambda_m), returning either the detected collapse year or NONE if no collapse occurs. CURL support is optional and enabled via: -DMAXCORE_USE_CURL=ON 2. Heatmap Exporter heatmap_exporter converts pipeline CSV output into publication-ready PNG heatmaps. No external image libraries Uses native Windows WIC Fully self-contained Deterministic rendering 3. Deterministic Core Validation Strict floating-point mode enabled 15/15 unit tests passing Deterministic collapse behaviour across builds Verified C API parity Structural Capabilities MAX-Core v2.5.0 provides: Fresh Genesis lifecycle handling Collapse invariants enforcement Derived parameter consistency Long-run finite stability validation Research-grade reproducibility Build Windows (MSYS2 + mingw64 + Ninja): cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release cmake --build build Optional CURL support: cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DMAXCORE_USE_CURL=ON MAX-Core v2.5.0 represents a stable deterministic structural simulation engine ready for research publication and archival (Zenodo).
