Description
So this is interesting. I was seeing some very wonky temperature inferences in one of the pioreactors: very noisy, very unstable:
Even the inference coefficients looks unusual: p=-0.008, q=-0.101, when normally p=-0.003, and q=-0.14 (±0.04).
When I physically inspected the vial, I was able to give it a very slight "push" down, and then it was secure on the bottom. After this, the coefficients looked more correct: p=-0.0029, q=-0.168, and the temperature inference was much more normal (pink line was physical correction):

Research direction
The issue identifies no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the temperature-inference implementation and the code handling vial positioning or sensor input; reproduce the unstable readings with a vial that is not fully seated, and consider the issue done when that condition is handled with stable, expected inference.
