## Secure Temporary Files

When a task requires writing a temporary script or data file (e.g. to work around

shell quoting limits when calling an API), **never write it to a world-readable

path**.  `/tmp` on a multi-user Linux system is mode 1777 — files created there

with default umask are readable by every local user.

**Always create temporary files with mode 600 (owner read/write only):**

```python

import os, tempfile

# Preferred: tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile — mode 600 by default

with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('w', suffix='.py', delete=False) as fh:

    fh.write(script_content)

    tmp_path = fh.name

try:

    # use tmp_path ...

finally:

    os.unlink(tmp_path)   # always clean up

```

Or with the Write tool followed by an immediate chmod:

```bash

# After writing the file, restrict permissions immediately

chmod 600 /path/to/tempfile

```

**Additional rules:**

- Never embed credentials (tokens, passwords, keys) in files under `plan/`,

  `tests/`, or any other committed path.  Use environment variables or

  `~/.netrc` / `~/.config` files (also mode 600) instead.

- Delete temporary files as soon as they are no longer needed — use a

  `try/finally` block or the `delete=True` default of `NamedTemporaryFile`.

- If a script must be written to `/tmp` via the Write tool (which cannot set

  permissions atomically), run `chmod 600 <path>` in the very next Bash call

  before the file is used.

*(Shared rules like "Secure Temporary Files" live in the parent repo's `CLAUDE.md`

and in `setup/patterns/*.md`; they are not duplicated here.)*

# Genesis Proposal Document Preparation

**Proposal:** "Digital twin deployment for automated discovery in neutron scattering experiments and particle accelerator commissioning"

**RFA:** DE-FOA-0003612 (DOE Genesis Mission, Focus Area 11-C)

**Lead:** RadiaSoft LLC (PI: David Bruhwiler)

**ORNL PI:** Stuart Calder

**ORNL Senior/Key Personnel:** Christina Hoffmann, Bogdan Vacaliuc

## Completed Tasks

### 1. Biographical Sketch (DONE)

- **Output:** `/media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/Vacaliuc_BioSketch_ORNL.pdf` (4 pages)

- **Source:** `/media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/Vacaliuc_BioSketch_ORNL.md`

- **Compliant with:** Biographical Sketch Common Form (Nov 1, 2023)

- **Products selected:** 14 products organized in 4 thematic groups (neutron scattering instrumentation, EPICS control systems, AI/ML workflows, scientific computing software)

- **Education dates confirmed:** B.S. 09/1986-05/1990, M.S. 09/1990-05/1992 (Northwestern, EE)

### 2. Current and Pending Support (DONE - one placeholder remains)

- **Output:** `/media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/Vacaliuc_CurrentAndPending_ORNL.pdf` (4 pages)

- **Source:** `/media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/Vacaliuc_CurrentAndPending_ORNL.md`

- **Compliant with:** Common Form for Current and Pending (Other) Support (Nov 1, 2023)

- **Three entries disclosed:**

  1. This proposal (Pending) — 10% FTE, 0.9 person-months, $200,000 ORNL share

  2. ORNL Base Program (Current) — 80% FTE, 9.6 PM/yr, DE-AC05-00OR22725 / WBS 3ERKCSNX

  3. LOTF Materials by Design Pilot (Current) — 20% FTE, 1.8 PM, $63,400

**PLACEHOLDER TO FILL:** Project 2 "Total Anticipated Amount" is `[TO BE PROVIDED]` — needs dollar amount for Vacaliuc's base program funding under WBS 3ERKCSNX for FY26.

## Rendering Tools

A `uv`-managed Python environment exists at `/media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/biosketch-tool/` with `weasyprint` and `markdown` installed. Render scripts:

```bash

# Biographical Sketch

cd /media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/biosketch-tool && uv run python render_biosketch.py

# Current and Pending Support

cd /media/ssd2/Projects/Radiasoft/biosketch-tool && uv run python render_currentpending.py

```

Edit the `.md` source files then re-run the corresponding script to regenerate PDFs.
