docs: name the beam parameter as the PONI and state the laboratory frame
Section 1.1 called (x_beam, y_beam) the direct-beam position while constructing it as the point of normal incidence; on a tilted detector the two differ by D*tan(tilt), and a reader loading a header direct beam into it would be wrong by several pixels. Name it as the PONI (the system-wide convention, DETECTOR_GEOMETRY.md), say which point the construction pins, and state the laboratory frame's axes and handedness, which the rotation-sign, R-centring and Bijvoet-hand discussions all silently depended on. Two-theta is computed as a two-argument arctangent; say so. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EFEJG6WBQv8th4UJFNe53N

For a pixel coordinate $(x,y)$ (in pixels), Jungfraujoch converts to a laboratory direction vector via:

1. shift by direct-beam position $(x_\mathrm{beam}, y_\mathrm{beam})$,
|

1. shift by the beam-centre pixel $(x_\mathrm{beam}, y_\mathrm{beam})$ — the **PONI**, pyFAI's point of normal incidence, which coincides with the direct-beam impact point only for an untilted detector (see [Detector geometry](DETECTOR_GEOMETRY.md)),

By this construction $(x_\mathrm{beam}, y_\mathrm{beam})$ maps to $(0,0,D)$ *before* the rotation — the point the detector normal through the sample meets — which is what makes it the PONI rather than the direct beam; the two differ by $D\tan(\mathrm{tilt})$ on a tilted detector. The laboratory frame is fixed the same way everywhere in the system: $+z$ along the beam propagation, $+x$ along increasing pixel **column** (the fast axis) and $+y$ along increasing pixel **row** (the slow axis) — a right-handed triple that coincides with XDS's laboratory frame, which is what makes the geometry echo of [rugnux](RUGNUX.md#comparing-the-geometry-with-xds) directly comparable. The absolute hand of an indexing — and with it the Bijvoet hands of §14.5–§14.6 — follows from this convention.
