Follow up to #1986 (comment).

I made _build_mixed_density_estimator take a config instead of two APIs at once. It is now (batch_x, batch_y, config), the factories build a MixedConfig for the two deprecated strings, and the model_builders dict, the flat parameters and the TYPE_CHECKING import are gone.

Everything else builds the same net as main. I checked both factories, both exported builders, all 14 flow models and the flat kwargs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MNLE and MNPE factory paths now use typed MixedConfig objects. Mixed estimator builders consume those configurations. Unknown models raise deferred NotImplementedError. Tests cover defaults, overrides, explicit None, tail-bound propagation, and z-scoring validation.

Changes

Mixed density estimator configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mixed configuration adapter
sbi/neural_nets/net_builders/estimator_configs.py
MixedConfig.build() passes the complete configuration to the mixed estimator builder. Deprecated flat factory arguments are converted into nested configurations with preserved defaults, width overrides, dropout settings, and tail_bound=10.0.
Typed mixed estimator builder
sbi/neural_nets/net_builders/mixed_nets.py
MNLE and MNPE build through MixedConfig. Categorical inputs, embeddings, z-scoring, log transforms, and continuous model settings are read from the typed configuration.
Factory routing and deferred errors
sbi/neural_nets/factory.py
Likelihood and posterior factories route MNLE and MNPE through the mixed configuration path. Unknown models return build functions that raise NotImplementedError when invoked.
Configuration and behavior validation
tests/density_estimator_builder_test.py, tests/factory_config_test.py, tests/npe_nle_builder_integration_test.py, tests/sbiutils_test.py
Tests validate typed-config equivalence, defaults, explicit None handling, width fallback, tail-bound propagation, removal of legacy mixed validation, and z-scoring behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1abd5

The refactor centralizes mixed-estimator construction through typed configuration and preserves current default behavior, but duplicated defaults could drift between supported construction paths over time; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up to centralize or pin those defaults.

Both new flat-argument adapters have single-line docstrings. The neighbouring helpers _factory_defaults and _config_from_factory_kwargs document Args: and Returns:. The two new adapters take non-obvious dict parameters and return nested configs, so the same sections are needed.

127-142: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Synchronize mixed-builder defaults with factory defaults.

_config_from_flat_kwargs duplicates the factory defaults, and _mixed_config_from_factory_kwargs treats matching values as unset. If a factory default changes, an explicit use of the new default can be accepted by build_mnle but discarded by likelihood_nn("mnle"). Add a regression test for both legacy builders and mixed factory paths, or use one shared default source.

Normalize embedding_net=None to nn.Identity().

_density_family_args normalizes only z-score fields. It passes embedding_net=None to check_net_device, which raises AttributeError. Preserve the factory default for explicit None and add regression tests for mixed factories and builders.
