#2746: Make Seed_Magnetic_Fields independent of IllinoisGRMHD

Reporter: Samuel Cupp Status: new Milestone: ET_2023_11 Version: Type: enhancement Priority: major Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

_Seed_Magnetic_Fields_ schedules its functions with respect to _IllinoisGRMHD_, which is an unnecessary dependency since this thorn only depends on HydroBase. Changing this scheduling would allow for other thorns to use it, as currently its scheduling would be very unpredictable without _IllinoisGRMHD_ scheduled.

Additionally, this update merges the features of _wvuthorns_diagnostics_/_Seed_Magnetic_Fields_BNS_ into this thorn. The BNS variant thorn will be deprecated to be removed in the ET_2024_05 release. There is no need for separate thorns, and this merge serves to unify their scheduling and general behavior, since they currently do not behave in the same way and would likely confuse those attempting to use them with a thorn other than _IllinoisGRMHD_.
