Two fixes for the reactor unit-confusion drift surfaced in the 2026-05-19 wiki uplift: 1. X_A_init default in reactor.html was 0.001 g COD/m³, which is effectively zero nitrifying biomass — the reactor cannot nitrify ammonia under that initial condition (per the project memory note, ~50 mg/L is the minimum). Aligned to the schema default of 200 in generalFunctions/src/configs/reactor.json. Same change in test/helpers/factories.js so the test factory mirrors the operational default; tests that need low-biomass scenarios already override. 2. New test/basic/timestep-units.basic.test.js locks in the `config.timeStep is interpreted as seconds` contract — verifies the engine's days-stored / seconds-input invariant and asserts the schema declares `unit: "s"`, `default: 1`. Companion to the schema fix in the generalFunctions submodule. Full test suite: 49/49 pass (was 46/46 + 3 new). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
