Overlap assessment

• Classification: No overlap
• Overlapping items: None
• Why this is not duplicate/superseded: fix: correct guard order in OsemosysClass.RYE() to prevent phantom 'EmisId' key (#423) #424 fixed RYC() guard order; this PR fixes the same bug pattern in the RYE() method which was missed

Why this PR should proceed

• The RYE() parser is the only remaining method in OsemosysClass with the inverted guard order. All sibling methods (RYC, RYT, RYTs, RYTTs, RYCTs, etc.) already use the correct pattern. This is a data-corruption bug that creates a phantom 'EmisId' key in the parsed emission data, which causes KeyError crashes in gen_RYE() during solver data file generation.

Summary

• What changed: Swapped the two guard conditions in OsemosysClass.RYE() (line 608) so the year != 'EmisId' exclusion check runs before the dict-entry creation, matching the canonical pattern used by every other parser method in the class.
• Why: The original order (if year not in RYE before if year != 'EmisId') creates a phantom empty dict entry RYE[param][sc]['EmisId'] = {} which (1) pollutes the data structure, (2) causes KeyError crashes when gen_RYE() iterates year keys, and (3) can produce corrupted solver .dat files.

Validation

• Tests added/updated (or not applicable)
• Validation steps documented
• Evidence attached (logs/screenshots/output as relevant)

Reproduction steps:

1. Run python scripts/reproduce_rye_bug.py from the MUIOGO/ root
2. Observe the [BUGGY] section showing phantom 'EmisId' key and KeyError crashes
3. Observe the [FIXED] section showing clean year-only keys

Before (buggy):

# Guard order WRONG — creates dict entry before exclusion check
if year not in RYE[param][sc]:
    RYE[param][sc][year] = {}
if (year != 'EmisId'):
    RYE[param][sc][year][o['EmisId']] = val

After (fixed):

Guard order CORRECT — matches RYC, RYT, etc.

if (year != 'EmisId'):
if year not in RYE[param][sc]:
RYE[param][sc][year] = {}
RYE[param][sc][year][o['EmisId']] = val

Pull request overview

Fixes a data-corruption bug in the OSeMOSYS JSON parser for RYE() by aligning its guard-condition ordering with the established pattern used by sibling pivot/parsing methods in OsemosysClass.

Changes:

• Reordered the RYE() loop guards so the 'EmisId' exclusion check runs before initializing RYE[param][sc][year].
• Prevents creating a phantom RYE[param][sc]['EmisId'] = {} entry during parsing.
