The simulation reduction was happening only after the simulation was already uploaded. 🤦
I don't know if this never worked right, or if it broke at some point - I think the latter.
We have a test here that the reduction function works, but not that the reduced simulation is actually uploaded. I'm not sure if the latter is possible within our mock web tests?
Greptile Summary
Fixed a critical performance issue in mode solver simulations where the simulation reduction was incorrectly occurring after upload instead of before, causing unnecessary data transfer. This bug impacted the efficiency of mode solver tasks by uploading full-sized simulations when reduced versions would suffice.
