The value means three different things at once. It is the unit of writer
parallelism - whole files go round-robin to the writers,
(image_number / images_per_file) % socket.size() in ZMQStream2Pusher::SendImage
and TCPStreamPusher - it multiplies writer memory linearly, since every data-file
plugin reserves per file, and it decides whether a legacy master is readable at
all, because dxtbx follows only the first data file of one.
That last point is what makes a flat default wrong. Measured with DIALS on a
2500-image rotation sweep written as legacy: split into five files it reports
2500 images and then raises IndexError beyond image 499, so it half-works
silently; in one file all 2500 read. AutoPROC does not read VDS, so legacy has to
stay the default, which leaves the file count as the only lever.
So make it optional and resolve it from the acquisition. A rotation sweep of at
most 20000 images goes into one data file - rotation datasets are small enough,
and one writer keeps up with them. A grid scan splits on whole fast-axis rows, so
a file is a meaningful piece of the grid. Stills and serial keep 1000, where the
image count far exceeds it and the parallelism and the bounded writer memory are
what matter. An explicit value is always taken literally.
GetImagesPerFile is the single place this is resolved, and it must always return
a fixed non-zero number, because everything downstream - receiver, pusher, puller,
writer - requires one. That was already true of the old 0 = "one file" spelling;
0 is now gone from the API and omitting the field says the same thing better.

This is an UNSTABLE release. It includes many experimental features, as well as many AI generated fixes. We recommend using rc.152 for production use.
* rugnux: Add `--model model.pdb` - score the merged data against an atomic model and compute initial maps. It reports R-work/R-free (scaling the model to the observed amplitudes with an overall scale, an anisotropic B and a flat bulk solvent - the standard few-parameter model, so a batch of maps stays directly comparable) and writes 2Fo-Fc / Fo-Fc electron-density maps (CCP4) plus a map-coefficient MTZ. The structure itself is not refined; the model is only re-fractionalised into the data cell.
* rugnux: The merged reflection output now carries French-Wilson amplitudes (|F| and its sigma) next to the intensities - MTZ `F`/`SIGF`, mmCIF `_refln.F_meas_au`, and the text HKL - computed with the correct centric/acentric Wilson prior and epsilon multiplicity, so a downstream program (e.g. phenix.refine) can refine against amplitudes. The intensity columns are unchanged.
* rugnux: R-free test-set flags are now assigned deterministically and consistently across symmetry - a Bijvoet pair I(+)/I(-) is never split between the work and free sets, and the assignment is a reproducible per-hkl hash that depends only on the reflection index, so every dataset of one crystal form gets the same ~5% free set (what a multi-dataset campaign such as PanDDA needs). On small data the fraction is floored so the test set stays large enough for a stable R-free (~500 reflections, capped at 10%); it stays flat at 5% on ordinary data. When a reference MTZ carries a `FreeR_flag` column its test set is imported instead, letting a whole campaign inherit one shared free set.
* rugnux: A reference MTZ (`--reference-mtz`) can now fix the space group and cell for rotation data too (previously rejected), without being used to scale - the rotation merge stays self-consistent. When the crystal has an indexing (merohedral) ambiguity - a lattice symmetry higher than its Laue symmetry, e.g. P3/P4/P6/C2 - the reference also resolves it: each candidate reindexing (identity plus the twin-law cosets of the metric symmetry) is scored by its intensity correlation against the reference and the data are re-merged in the best-correlating one. This is a metric-preserving relabelling of hkl (the cell is unchanged) and a no-op for a holohedral crystal such as lysozyme.
* rugnux: `--model` validation now aligns the data to the model before scoring - the observed reflections are reindexed into the model's enantiomorph when the two differ only by hand (indistinguishable from merged intensities). A merohedral indexing ambiguity is resolved against the reference MTZ when one is given (so a whole campaign shares one indexing convention); only with a model and no reference does validation fall back to fitting each candidate reindexing and keeping the lowest R-free.
* rugnux: De-novo symmetry - recover a genuine high-symmetry group whose data are imperfectly scaled. Such a merge's within-orbit chi² lands just past the self-consistency bound (each real symmetry step adds a little systematic scatter), right where a merohedral twin also lands, so the chi² ratio alone cannot separate them. The candidate is now rescued when the extra intensity-proportional systematic error it invokes stays small relative to the confirmed subgroup - a genuine symmetry step gains multiplicity without inflating the merge error model's b, whereas a twin forces non-equivalent reflections together and b balloons. Fixes cubic insulin (I23 instead of I222) with no change to any other crystal in the test battery, including the twins that must stay in their lower symmetry.
* Docs: Document the French-Wilson amplitude estimation, R-free flagging, reference-based space-group/ambiguity resolution, and model-based validation/maps in CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS.md.
* Frontend: The status-bar pill now shows a progress bar during detector calibration (previously only during measurement), and the calibration state and its button are labelled "Calibration"/"CALIBRATE" (the internal `Pedestal` state name is unchanged for back-compatibility).Reviewed-on: #70
