#### Julian
##### Topics aligned with Team compass issues
* Overdue on quite some points here
##### Other topics
* Core coding days next week Mo & Tue: https://hackmd.io/7GZqkTRFSIWbOhq-wGvj5Q
* Core coding week 01 - 05 Dec: https://hackmd.io/qiKohKL5TV6NEZIsiqQUtQ
* As always, blog posts: https://hackmd.io/_Ic1IR6pQ6yZYnqZUflMjg
* Next one by GP, draft ready, after that, will reach out to people. Would like a plan for one rotation including everyone.
* Code-wise, nothing to report, been busy with Madices and SwissTwins

#### Giovanni
* Improved docs on what it means that a Workflow cannot create data. Can we merge or others want to have a look to the [PR](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/7068)?
* Carlo and I prepared [a PR](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/7069) to support automatic pausing of BaseRestartWorkchain (to be then automatically applied to any WorkChain inheriting from it) in a backward compatible way. It pauses upon unhandled errors, so the user can just replay if it was a node issue. Important if nodes are unstable, e.g. for phonons with 1000+ calculations and ~1% node failure rate.
* Concept can be extended to also get feedback, in a "human-in-the-loop" approach. See next blog post.
* Will also work in coding days to wrap up a blog post/demonstrator of the monitoring feature for easiness of use + 2 PRs to simplify their use with aiida-shell, and for better support of portable codes in AiiDA core.
* In the coding days (mostly Monday) I will also be reviewing PRs related to disk-objectstore (in the DOStore repo and in aiida-core), probably mostly with Julian?

##### Topics aligned with Team compass issues

- Investigated the integration of WorkGraph with other workflow engines (airflow, dagster, engines from the PWD, etc)

- PR [Attaching extra info to data nodes using workgraph's annotation system](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-workgraph/pull/717)

#### Ali
- Working on airflow with Alex

#### Davide Bidoggia
- Missing PBC info in TrajectoryData: Status? is someone working on that? https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/6376

#### jason

- two new plugins to review in aiida-registry. https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-registry/pulls
- Towards py3.14 https://github.com/danielhollas/nest_asyncio
- Drop py3.9, but blocked by aiidalab.
- hotfix to take for `verdi daemon stop` timeout. https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6672
- Attempts to replace `nest_asyncio` with `greenlet`: https://github.com/unkcpz/plumpy/pulls

- https://github.com/jupyter-xeus/xeus mentioned for modern jupyter backend.

#### Daniel
- Support for Python 3.14:
- Plumpy PR: https://github.com/aiidateam/plumpy/pull/329
- aiida-core PR: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/7074
- Until we can possibly replace it somehow, we need to vendor `nest_asyncio` since it is unmaintained (the author passed away). I have a fork with a patch for Python 3.14 https://github.com/danielhollas/nest_asyncio
- nest_asyncio discussion in aiida-core: https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/issues/4876
