Internal error
Internal error in ComputeBranchCache (branch gard.tree.part_1.Node2, eval #348133 ) reversible model cached likelihood = -7298.887093143881, directly computed likelihood = -7298.899177285343. This is most likely because a non-reversible model was incorrectly auto-detected (or specified by the model file in environment variables; for smaller errors, this could be due to numerical instability of calculations for larger alignments). To treat numerical errors as warnings, please specify "ENV=TOLERATE_NUMERICAL_ERRORS=1;" as the command line argument. This often resolves the issue, which is indicative of numerical instability.
The test pass if I add "ENV=TOLERATE_NUMERICAL_ERRORS=1;" to the command line in the module. However, I wonder if it should be included in the module itself, as that might prevent this error from showing up in regular analyses? I'm not sure how often it actually occurs. If it's better not to do it, I can just use another test dataset pilfered from Datamonkey (the small one probably).
If anyone has any input? @Nina Xiong @Danielle (sorry to bother you but since you're from Pond lab I thought I would use the opportunity 😅)
