## 🤖 AI Optimization Guide

### Getting Started with AI
```bash
# Quick AI energy optimization
plogic optimize --objective energy --iterations 50

# Multi-objective with custom weights

```

### Understanding AI Results
- **Best score**: Higher is better (DANTE maximizes objectives)
- **Evaluations**: Total number of simulations run
- **Convergence**: AI stops when no improvement found
- **Parameters**: AI-discovered optimal configuration

### AI Optimization Tips
- **Start small**: Use 50-100 iterations for initial exploration
- **Increase samples**: More initial samples improve convergence
- **Custom weights**: Adjust objective weights for specific priorities
- **Export results**: Save optimization history for analysis

## 🏢 Enterprise Features (NEW)

### Machine-Readable Output
```bash
# Get JSON output for automation
plogic optimize --smoke --objective energy --json --seed 42

# Example JSON output with versioned schema
{
  "schema_version": "1.0.0",
  "objective": "energy",
  "best_score": 129.87,
  "evaluations": 6,
  "best_config": {
    "platform": "Si",
    "P_high_mW": 0.38,
    "pulse_ns": 0.06,
    "coupling": 0.81,
    "link_um": 1.17,
    "fanout": 1,
    "split_loss_db": 0.84,
    "stages": 1
  },
  "seed": 42,
  "smoke_mode": true,
  "runtime_seconds": 1.006
}
```

### Escaping Local Minima

The optimizer includes plateau detection. You can make it more aggressive:

```bash
# Inject more diversity and periodically rebuild the surrogate
plogic optimize \
  --objective energy \
  --iterations 100 \
  --initial-samples 20 \
  --surrogate-reset-every 2 \
  --plateau-patience 5
```

Use higher `--initial-samples` when your search space is high-dimensional. The `--surrogate-reset-every` flag rebuilds the neural network surrogate model every N plateau detections to escape local minima.

### CI/CD Integration
```bash
# Quick smoke test for CI pipelines
plogic optimize --smoke --objective energy

# Quality gate validation
plogic optimize --smoke --json > result.json
jq -r '.best_score' result.json  # Extract score for dashboards

# Reproducible results for research
plogic optimize --objective energy --seed 42 --json
```

### Enterprise Flags
- **`--smoke`** - Quick validation (1 iteration, 2 samples, 10s timeout)
- **`--json`** - Machine-readable output with versioned schema
- **`--seed N`** - Reproducible results (default: 42)
- **`--verbose`** - Detailed optimization history
- **`--timeout N`** - Set timeout in seconds
- **Cross-platform** - ASCII-safe output for Windows/Linux/macOS compatibility (v2.4.2+)

### Bulletproof Reliability
- **Zero crashes**: Handles any dataset size (1 sample to thousands)
- **Edge case handling**: Empty arrays, scalar predictions, bounds violations
- **Cross-platform**: Windows/Linux/macOS compatibility
- **Professional output**: Clean parameter bounds (no more "Pulse: 0.000 ns")
