With the addition of the event header, we can now add weights. The genie_reader and file_source however did not support this yet and would silently drop weights. This PR now fixes this by propagating weights properly.

genie_reader and file_source went through the shared provider helper without a header generator, so they published the default-constructed event header even when the input carried a real weight or provenance:

  • genie_reader now reads the optional EvtWght/EvtNum branches into EventHeader.weight / original_event_id (defaulting to 1.0 / -1 when absent).
  • file_source reads back an existing event_header field, so a write->read round trip preserves it; files written before the field existed still replay, publishing the default.

Both sources gain a mutex around backend access: phlex schedules the mc_particles and event_header providers as independent nodes that can run concurrently, and their shared TTree / RNTupleReader is not thread-safe. Maybe there's a more elegant solution to this down the line.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Event metadata is now available through EventHeader, including event weights and original event numbers.
    • File inputs can optionally provide event headers while remaining compatible with older files.
    • Missing metadata uses sensible defaults: weight 1.0 and event number -1.
  • Documentation

    • Updated GENIE reader documentation to describe event header metadata and fallback behavior.

- file_source reads back an existing event_header field, so a write->read round

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GENIE and RNTuple file sources now read optional event metadata and expose EventHeader providers. Missing metadata uses default values. Shared locking protects concurrent input reads, and provider wiring remains compatible with older files.

Changes

EventHeader support

Layer / File(s) Summary
GENIE metadata and synchronized providers
src/genie_reader_source.cpp, docs/genie.md
GenieReaderSource reads optional EvtWght and EvtNum branches, uses defaults when absent, synchronizes cached TTree access, and provides EventHeader data. The documentation describes this behavior.
RNTuple EventHeader integration
src/file_source.cpp
FileSource detects an optional event_header field, protects RNTuple reads with a shared mutex, returns default headers for invalid entries, and conditionally wires the header provider.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9c837

With a negative first_entry configuration, the source can publish zero-initialized particles and default event-header values instead of the requested event, potentially losing weights and provenance; this configuration edge case should be rejected before merge. Branch-binding failures should also be surfaced explicitly.

Check the SetBranchAddress status

If the return value is negative, throw an error for the incompatible branch binding. ROOT 6.40 uses negative statuses for failures, including kMismatch = -2. Non-negative statuses include supported conversions, so float to double is not necessarily an error.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add a lower-bound check to require_in_range.

entry is first_entry_ + id.number(). first_entry_ comes from the workflow configuration and is not validated, so entry can be negative. Two silent failures follow:

  • tree_->GetEntry(entry) with a negative argument does not fill the branch buffers and reports no error.
  • loaded_entry_ starts at -1, so load_entry(-1) skips the read completely. generate then emits particles built from zero-initialized buffers, and generate_header returns the default weight and id.

file_source rejects a negative skip in its constructor. Apply the same rule here.

🛡️ Proposed fix
   void require_in_range(long long entry) const {
+    if (entry < 0)
+      throw std::runtime_error(
+          "genie_reader_source: negative entry " + std::to_string(entry) +
+          " requested from '" + file_name_ +
+          "' — 'first_entry' must be non-negative.");
     if (entry >= tree_->GetEntries())

Rejecting a negative first_entry in the constructor is an equally good option.
