Friction of Entering New Derivations

Goal is to enter a novel derivation e.g., Simple Harmonic Oscillator

What's preventing me from entering a derivation right now?

bug categories

1. no page should trigger a gunicorn error (which prevents rendering HTML)
2. pages that do render HTML should not have errors (including flash messages)
   • BUG verified 2026-02-16 11:50: on page https://localhost/review_derivation/387954 the validation reports "list index out of range"
   • no derivation has all steps valid. There are many errors in the step validation for most derivations
3. pages that claim a feature but do not enact that feature (e.g., editing a variable or expression or step or infrule or derivation)
4. pages that lack a necessary feature for the workflow (e.g., editing)
   • verified 2026-02-16 11:18 need for missing feature: https://localhost/new_symbol_vector is missing dimensions (length, time, mass)
   • New function in compute: List of all non-operation symbols. Used by new feed when promoting existing symbol
