- The thanks line uses a different spelling from the mentor heading: it drops “Manuel” and adds a hyphen. Please keep the mentor's name consistent within the post.
A huge thank you to Felix Hekhorn and Juan Cruz-Martinez for bringing me onto this project and for their exceptional mentorship over the past few months. Their detailed feedback improved the code we shipped and profoundly shaped how I approach software design, performance profiling, and open-source development. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to the NNPDF team, the HEP Software Foundation, and GSoC team for making this summer project possible. I have learned an immense amount during this time, and I am deeply grateful for the experience and the opportunity to work alongside such talented developers. I am excited to stay involved and continue contributing to the repository well beyond the end of the program.

@wdconinc The post is very well written and provides a good summary of all the work.
Minor comments:
- I particularly like the architecture diagram as it provides a good overview! The only thing I would have made different is to keep all Python blue (and not green and blue), such that color=language.
- More very minor points only if you change the diagram (which you may or may not want to do):
- "Libraries" -> "eko"
- "eko, ekobox, ekomark" -> "User entry point" or similar
- "EKO Ecosystem" -> I don't know 🙃 - just ecosystem is more like the whole diagram
- "nb.cfunc" -> "numba.cfunc"
- "scale variations" -> "linear algebra" (Remember there are still a bunch of features)
- More very minor points only if you change the diagram (which you may or may not want to do):
- I'm not sure if I would have called the libome exploration a "dead end" ... true, we can't go any further there at the moment, but this is simply because we need the help from a third party (with indefinite timescale yeah ...). The code itself is just fine as is.
- In the table "PR/Issues" -> "PR", right? The only issue you may want to mention is 515

Looks fine also for me!
Just a small comment on the "failed experiment" bit, after all in particle physics we prefer to talk about (very successful) new constraints on parameter space :P
