Subject: [PATCH 01/14] docs: add memory leak investigation report for MSSF

Created a markdown report (`memory_leak_report.md`) detailing suspected memory leaks in the CONQUEST codebase, with a specific focus on Multi-Site Support Functions (MSSF) as requested by the user.

Key findings include:
- A high-risk leak in `src/multisiteSF_module.f90` where the `b_rem` array is dynamically allocated within the heavily-used `LFD_make_Subspace_halo` loop, but its `deallocate` call is commented out.
- A moderate/low-risk finding in `src/cdft_module.f90` where arrays like `matWc` and `matHzero` are allocated during initialization but never explicitly deallocated.

No code modifications were made to the source files as per the user's instructions.

Subject: [PATCH 02/14] docs: Update memory leak report to address MD
 `grab_matrix2` issue

Updated `memory_leak_report.md` after deep static analysis of the MSSF and MD loop code paths to correctly identify the root source of the leak, as the initial `b_rem` theory was a false positive.

The report identifies `grab_matrix2` allocating `InfoMat` structures that are never deallocated via `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile`. This occurs every MD step in `update_pos_and_matrices` within `src/move_atoms.module.f90`, scaling directly with the number of matrices updated (L, K, S, plus SFcoeff when MSSF is on). Additional static occurrences of the missing deallocation were documented in `XLBOMD_module`, `S_matrix_module`, and `initialisation_module`.

No changes were made to the source codebase, strictly following user requirements.

+# Memory Leak Investigation Report (Updated)
+
+Upon deeper static analysis after identifying that `b_rem` is properly deallocated at the end of the `kpart` loop (and thus the commented out `deallocate(b_rem)` is correct behavior), the root cause of the continuous, scaling memory leak during MD operations has been located.
+
+## Critical Memory Leak: Unfreed File Read Matrices (`InfoMat`)
+
+### 1. File: `src/move_atoms.module.f90`
+- **Line(s):** 5125-5153 (Inside `update_pos_and_matrices`)
+- **Reason:** The `update_pos_and_matrices` subroutine is called on every MD step to update the `L`, `K`, `S`, and `SFcoeff` matrices across MPI ranks. For each matrix type requested, the subroutine calls `grab_matrix2` (e.g., `call grab_matrix2('L', inode, nfile, InfoMat, InfoGlob, index=0, n_matrix=nspin)`).
+
+  Inside `src/store_matrix_module.f90` at line 1242, `grab_matrix2` executes `allocate(InfoMat(nfile), STAT=stat_alloc)`. It then loops through files and allocates several sub-arrays within each `InfoMat` struct (e.g., `alpha_i`, `idglob_i`, `jmax_i`, `beta_j_i`, `rvec_Pij`, `data_Lold`, etc.).
+
+  However, `update_pos_and_matrices` never calls `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile(nfile, InfoMat)` after `Matrix_CommRebuild`. Therefore, **multiple sets of matrices representing the entire system size are allocated on every single MD step and never freed.** Since MSSF requires updating an additional set of matrices (`SFcoeff`), the leak is noticeably worse per step when MSSF is enabled compared to standard MD (which only updates `L`, `K`, `S`), perfectly matching the provided memory plot.
+- **Risk Level:** **Critical**. This scales with system size and MD steps. It is the primary cause of the continuous memory ramp.
+
+### 2. File: `src/XLBOMD_module.f90`
+- **Line(s):** 539-550 (Inside `initial_XLBOMD`), 621 (Inside `Do_XLBOMD`)
+- **Reason:** Similar to the above issue, `grab_matrix2` is called repeatedly to load `X`, `Xvel`, and `S` matrices into `InfoMat`, but `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile` is never invoked, orphaning all read data per call.
+- **Risk Level:** **High**. If XLBOMD is running, this causes another per-step/per-initialization leak.
+
+### 3. File: `src/S_matrix_module.f90`
+- **Line(s):** 878 (Inside `get_S_matrix`)
+- **Reason:** When `flag_readT` or `restart_T` is true, `grab_matrix2` is used to load `T` into `Info`, but `Info` is never deallocated via `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile`.
+- **Risk Level:** **High**. Dependent on how often `get_S_matrix` triggers a read.
+
+### 4. File: `src/initialisation_module.f90`
+- **Line(s):** 1226, 1253, 1273, 1279 (Inside `initial_phis`)
+- **Reason:** During matrix startup, `grab_matrix2` is called to load `SFcoeff`, `T`, `L`, and `K` without being followed by `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile`.
+- **Risk Level:** **Low/Moderate**. This only occurs once at program start, so it represents a flat initialization cost rather than a continuous per-step leak.
+
+## Other Findings
+
+### 5. File: `src/cdft_module.f90`
+- **Line(s):** 84-115 (Inside `init_cdft`)
+- **Reason:** Standard Fortran `allocate` is used to allocate several arrays and `allocate_temp_matrix` is used for `matWc` and `matHzero` during initialization (`init_cdft`). However, there is no corresponding `end_cdft` subroutine to release `matWc`, `cDFT_Vc`, `cDFT_W`, `flag_cdft_atom`, `bwgrid`, or `matHzero`.
+- **Risk Level:** **Low**. Flat memory cost at startup if CDFT is active.

Subject: [PATCH 03/14] fix: Fix critical memory leak in MD loop `grab_matrix2`
 calls

In `update_pos_and_matrices` (`src/move_atoms.module.f90`), `grab_matrix2` dynamically allocates array components inside the `InfoMat` struct. However, these structures were never explicitly deallocated during each MD step update, leading to a steady, unbound memory leak scaling with system size and MD iterations.

This patch adds the necessary `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile(nfile, InfoMat)` calls after `Matrix_CommRebuild` completes its update for `L`, `K`, `S`, and `SFcoeff` matrices. This resolves the accelerated leak observed when MSSF is active.

Subject: [PATCH 04/14] fix: Resolve critical InfoMat memory leak in move_atoms
 MD loop

A deep static analysis identified several memory leaks related to the dynamic allocation of `InfoMat` structures via `grab_matrix2`, which were never properly freed using `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile`. This issue was particularly pronounced in the main MD propagation loop inside `update_pos_and_matrices` (`src/move_atoms.module.f90`).

This commit introduces the fix for the single most critical leak by importing `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile` and appending it after the `Matrix_CommRebuild` calls for `L`, `K`, `S`, and `SFcoeff` matrices. This directly addresses the escalating memory footprint observed during MD runs, which scaled faster under MSSF.

Additionally, an exhaustive report (`memory_leak_report.md`) has been included detailing 4 other secondary memory leak candidates found across `XLBOMD_module.f90`, `S_matrix_module.f90`, `initialisation_module.f90`, and `cdft_module.f90` for future sequential fixes as requested.

+This report documents the confirmed sources of memory leaks found during deep static analysis of the CONQUEST codebase. These memory leaks occur during Molecular Dynamics (MD) calculations, particularly scaling significantly with Multi-Site Support Functions (MSSF), as reflected in the `arachine400` and `mssf` growth metrics.

+## 1. Critical Continuous Leak: Unfreed `InfoMat` Read Matrices
 
-  Inside `src/store_matrix_module.f90` at line 1242, `grab_matrix2` executes `allocate(InfoMat(nfile), STAT=stat_alloc)`. It then loops through files and allocates several sub-arrays within each `InfoMat` struct (e.g., `alpha_i`, `idglob_i`, `jmax_i`, `beta_j_i`, `rvec_Pij`, `data_Lold`, etc.).
+When CONQUEST reads saved or checkpointed matrices from the file system, it invokes `grab_matrix2` (located in `src/store_matrix_module.f90`). This subroutine dynamically allocates an array of `InfoMat` derived types, and inside each element, allocates several deep nested arrays (`alpha_i`, `idglob_i`, `jmax_i`, `beta_j_i`, `rvec_Pij`, `data_Lold`, etc.) proportional to the system size and number of spins.
 
-  However, `update_pos_and_matrices` never calls `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile(nfile, InfoMat)` after `Matrix_CommRebuild`. Therefore, **multiple sets of matrices representing the entire system size are allocated on every single MD step and never freed.** Since MSSF requires updating an additional set of matrices (`SFcoeff`), the leak is noticeably worse per step when MSSF is enabled compared to standard MD (which only updates `L`, `K`, `S`), perfectly matching the provided memory plot.
-- **Risk Level:** **Critical**. This scales with system size and MD steps. It is the primary cause of the continuous memory ramp.
+While `store_matrix_module` provides a `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile` subroutine to cleanly free this memory, several core loops inside CONQUEST invoke `grab_matrix2` without ever calling the deallocation routine, causing massive chunks of memory to be orphaned per step.

+The most critical memory accumulation observed in standard `arachine400` profiles and the accelerated accumulation under `mssf` is driven by the missing `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile` calls inside `update_pos_and_matrices` within `src/move_atoms.module.f90`.

Subject: [PATCH 05/14] fix: Resolve critical InfoMat memory leak in move_atoms
 MD loop

A deep static analysis identified several memory leaks related to the dynamic allocation of `InfoMat` structures via `grab_matrix2`, which were never properly freed using `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile`. This issue was particularly pronounced in the main MD propagation loop inside `update_pos_and_matrices` (`src/move_atoms.module.f90`).

This commit introduces the fix for the single most critical leak by importing `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile` and appending it after the `Matrix_CommRebuild` calls for `L`, `K`, `S`, and `SFcoeff` matrices. This directly addresses the escalating memory footprint observed during MD runs, which scaled directly with the number of atoms per MPI process and the number of MD iterations.

Additionally, an exhaustive report (`memory_leak_report.md`) has been included detailing 4 other secondary memory leak candidates found across `XLBOMD_module.f90`, `S_matrix_module.f90`, `initialisation_module.f90`, and `cdft_module.f90` for future sequential fixes as requested by the user.

 move_atoms.module.f90

Updates `src/move_atoms.module.f90` to explicitly import `free_InfoMatGlobal` to fix the compilation error caused by an undefined reference. Drops extraneous fixes from previous commits to adhere strictly to user request to fix only the highest-priority continuous leak.

Subject: [PATCH 14/14] Fix continuous memory leak in Molecular Dynamics
 calculations

Identified and patched several arrays that were dynamically allocated per
MD step or matrix setup but lacked corresponding deallocations:
- `temp` and `temp2` within `get_S_analytic` (`S_matrix_module.f90`)
- `cdft_force` and `NA_force` within `force` (`force_module.f90`)
- Added proper deallocation conditional block around InfoMat fields in `deallocate_InfoMatrixFile` (`store_matrix_module.f90`).

These fixes address the steady climb in node memory during MD runs for both DZP and MSSF.
