Code Review
This pull request introduces support for Non-Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (NIMHD) by adding Ohmic resistivity, Hall effect, and Ambipolar Diffusion terms. Key changes include the addition of NIMHD configuration parameters, mathematical kernels for current and heating terms, and a new CFL timestep constraint for Ambipolar Diffusion. Review feedback highlighted a critical architectural issue regarding the pairwise calculation of electric current, which should be a field quantity requiring a two-pass approach. Additionally, several potential division-by-zero bugs were identified in the mathematical kernels and timestep calculations, along with a likely incorrect gradient index in the induction term and misleading argument names in the Python bindings.

Code Review
This pull request introduces support for Non-Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (NIMHD) in the SPH solver, adding configuration parameters, mathematical formulations for current density and resistivity, and the corresponding derivative updates. However, several critical issues must be addressed: a bug where the current density J_a is passed by value instead of reference in MagCurrentJ_sum (discarding accumulated values), a race condition and event synchronization bug in the CFL timestep calculation due to variable shadowing, and potential out-of-bounds reads in compute_J from iterating over ghost particles that lack neighbor lists. Additionally, minor improvements are recommended, such as removing unused parameters in B_NI_terms, cleaning up a temporary comment, and renaming a Python binding parameter for consistency.

Code Review
This pull request introduces Non-Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (NIMHD) support to the SPH solver, including configurations for Ohmic resistivity, Hall effect, and Ambipolar diffusion, as well as the calculation of electric current density and non-ideal heating/induction terms. The review feedback highlights critical issues with SYCL event shadowing that can lead to concurrent kernel execution and data races on the timestep buffer. Other recommendations include evaluating the NIMHD flag at compile-time, skipping self-interactions in SPH neighbor loops, removing commented-out code, and resolving a developer query about the correct kernel gradient.

Code Review
This pull request implements Non-Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (NIMHD) support in the SPH solver, introducing configuration parameters for Ohmic, Hall, and Ambipolar diffusion, a new ComputeJ module to calculate magnetic current density, and integrating non-ideal terms into derivative updates and timestep constraints. Feedback highlights critical mathematical and implementation bugs in mhd.hpp, such as passing J_a by value instead of reference, incorrect normalization of Bhat, a sign error in the Ambipolar Diffusion term, and an incorrect negative sign in the heating rate. Additionally, several unused variables and large blocks of commented-out dead code in ComputeJ.cpp, UpdateDerivs.cpp, and Solver.cpp should be removed.

Code Review
This pull request introduces Non-Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics (NIMHD) support to the SPH solver, adding configuration parameters, a new ComputeJ module to calculate magnetic current density, and integration of non-ideal terms into the physical equations and solver timestep. However, several critical issues must be addressed: critical physics calculations (gas pressure forces and artificial viscosity) are currently commented out, invalid host logging calls are present inside SYCL device kernels which will break compilation, and there is duplicated unused code in UpdateDerivs.cpp. Additionally, an unprofessional variable name and an incorrect docstring should be cleaned up.

Add and enable the use of no-ideal MHD in the MHD solver, using the structure I previously set out for it.
Tests:
Could be merged as is and fixed with a 2nd PR that adds the wave damping CI test.
