Validate Fitter Class Hierarchy

Validates that a fitter object is an S7 instance of the Fitter class. This is a lightweight class-hierarchy check used internally by validate_simulation_config(). For full interface validation including method existence and optional smoke testing, use validate_fitter().

Usage

check_fitter_class(fitter)

validate_fitter_interface(fitter)

Arguments

fitter

An S7 object to validate as a Fitter.

Value

The input fitter, invisibly, if validation passes.

Details

The fitter must satisfy the following requirements:

• Must be an S7 object (checked via S7::S7_inherits())

• Must inherit from the "Fitter" class

Method existence is not checked here because S7 methods are dispatched via generics, not stored as properties. The Fitter base class uses S7::stop_method_not_implemented() for abstract methods, so subclasses that don't override will raise errors when methods are called.

Errors

Throws a bayesim_contract_error condition if validation fails.
