Move External State Updates from VariableKiosk to Engine

[SCiarella]

As mentioned here, the VariableKiosk handles its own updates for external states. To make the architecture cleaner and more flexible (especially for ML), we want to move this responsibility to the Engine. This turns the Kiosk into a simple data container and lets the Engine orchestrate the data flow.

Proposed Change

Modify the Engine to accept an update_external_states function. This function will be called during initialization and at every simulation step.

class Engine:
    def __init__(self, update_external_states, ...):
        self.kiosk = VariableKiosk()
        self.update_external_states = update_external_states
        
        # Initial state update
        if self.update_external_states:
            self.update_external_states(self.start_date, self.kiosk)

    def _run(self):
        self.day, delt = self.timer()

        # Update states at each timestep
        if self.update_external_states:
            self.update_external_states(self.day, self.kiosk)
            
        # Continue with simulation...

This will require the following modifications:

• Add update_external_states argument to Engine.
• Implement the update calls in __init__ and _run.
• Remove update logic from VariableKiosk.__call__.
