FATAL: GalaxyCluster.temperatureExceededSolarSurface() at Early Universe Init
$
SUMMARY
Early universe galaxy cluster SPT2349-56 detected hotter than solar surface, raising E_COSMIC_INVARIANT_VIOLATION.
$
DETAILS
========================================
Reproduction Steps
To observe the SPT2349-56 anomaly, a standard cosmological simulation run targeting early universe cluster formation yields the unexpected temperature readings.
$ universe.sim.run --version=13.8e9_years --scenario=clusterFormation --target=SPT2349-56 --verbose
[WARN] DeprecationWarning:--scenario=clusterFormationis a legacy flag. Consider--scenario=protoClusterAccretion.

Post-Mortem Notes
- KNOWN ISSUE: Legacy cosmological models (v1.x) continue to exhibit unpredictable behavior when confronted with novel observational data.
- REGRESSION: Data consistency for early universe thermal states has dropped significantly. Previous models predicted cooler clusters.
- WORKAROUND: Researchers advised to
