Problem
Given a target plasma boundary, find closed coil curves, a few dozen Fourier coefficients each, whose Biot–Savart field is tangent to the boundary while length, curvature and coil spacing stay buildable. Scoring follows Princeton’s SIMSOPT and the ConStellaration benchmark; the target and the weights are still to be fixed.
