Description

Description of feature

The optimal design is stored in the solution object, but not in the history file (remember that the final iteration may not be the optimal solution). Similar to the last key, we should have an optimal key or something that stores the callCounter corresponding to the optimal solution.

Potential solution

This may require stepping through the solution to try and match a callCounter, maybe that's a bit hacky?

Research direction

Start by locating the code that writes the history file and inspect how the solution object and existing last key are represented. Trace how the optimal solution's callCounter is available, then define completion as the history file exposing an optimal entry that identifies that solution reliably.
