source volume will be sampled at the solver's resolution during sourcing so your source can be the same or lower resolution, (since matching pyro may not always be necessary if such resolution is not needed for the source detail)
I'd avoid higher than solver's resolution

you can append Convert SOP, set to Bezier Curve and check Interpolate Through Hulls, then if you want you can append another Curve SOP and continue editing as bezier

you need to be more specific if you want us to understand your exact workflow, there is many ways to even do inflate and how to deflate may depend on the specific way you are using
assuming you are doing your inflation in Vellum Constraint Properties DOP by animating rest length scale of your Pressure constraints
so to deflate decrease the Rest Length Scale of Pressure constraints back to 1
and if you really want the position to align with the original make sure to create Soft Pin constraints beforehand with 0 or very low stiffness and increase it gradually during deflating to force your geo points to return to their initial pos

this should also work, since even float signature can read vector attribute, in which case it will return only the first component

you need to connect geoinput0 to Inputs/next port
then you can middle click and rename to whatever you want, like: geo
and on Apex Invoke add 1 Input Binding and check Bind To Geometry and type the same name
you can also additionally pass dictionary attribute with some values you want to have access in APEX
see example

you can also just make your peace with that phrase not being true and would be very naive thinking it is
but of course for any specific RFEs feel free to elaborate as Houdini for sure could use some improvements in many areas, like as any other DCC

How would you go about grabbing a detail attrib as well in this example? detail attrib does not change per workitem though so the for loop is probably not needed?
myDetailAttrib = geo.attribValue("myDetailAttrib")
The only for loop thats not needed is the one for list comprehension unless the detail attrib value is an array or dict and you want to process that further for example
You still need the for loop per geo_files
You can also probably just use Geometry Import TOP if the only thing you are loading is detail attribs per file and then you will get them as workitem attributes

you can use it to copy attribtues from your second input points to the corresponding pieces
like if you have a custom index you want to later use to match piece to corresponding point, or simply just want to transfer any attribs
the dropdown menu may not list correct attributes (probably a bug of Attribute Copy SOP used internally which seems to list first input attribs instead of second), but you can type them in

since your stadium is centered around 0, you can for example append Point Wrangle SOP after your polyframe1 node:
vector center = {0,0,0}; vector up = {0,1,0}; vector z = v@N; vector x = center - v@P; vector y = cross(x, z); if ( dot(y, up) < 0.0) v@N *= -1;

you are most likely scaling down the grapes by having @pscale on your scatter points and because the grape constraints rest lengths are not scaled it will try to force them to inflate to their original lengths

yes, that should be correct
Voronoi Fracture should already compute constraints for you so you can also just connect RBD Configure (instead of Assemble) and RBD Constraint Properties after and pass both outputs from Voronoi Fracture through them

mgbakersorry, I meant Poly Cut SOP, where you can specify points at which to cut the curve (corrected the previous post)
but the poly split sop looks like exactly what I needed.
