leonarski_fandClaude Opus 5 abb94ca450 spot_finding: accumulate the adaptive ring statistics in integers
The per-ring sums were floats reduced by atomics, so the ring sigma - and with it the
detection threshold - depended on the order the blocks happened to arrive in. Detection
compares an INTEGER pixel value against that threshold, so a threshold that drifts
across an integer flips every pixel of that value in the ring at once, which is how a
last-bit difference turned into a different spot list.

A preprocessed pixel is an exact int32 and the masked and saturated sentinels are
skipped, so v and v*v are exact in 64 bits, and integer addition is associative: the
sums no longer care about arrival order. Both engines now accumulate the same way, so
they agree exactly rather than approximately, and the GPU spot list is bit-identical
across runs. The corrected sums that feed the reported azimuthal profile stay float -
a pixel value times a float correction has no exact integer form - but they do not
enter the detection decision.

Cost: the ring reduction needs 28 bytes per bin instead of 20 in the plain pass, which
drops it from eight co-resident blocks per SM to seven and costs about 11% of that
kernel (0.582 -> 0.650 ms/frame on a 4.5 Mpx frame). End to end it does not show:
alternating runs on three rotation crystals came out the same or slightly faster, and
the battery is unchanged in every number. The CPU engine got 30% faster (32.2 -> 22.6
ms/frame), integers being cheaper than doubles.

Tests: exact CPU/GPU agreement on the spot list, and 50 repeats of bit-identical output
where there were four.

leonarski_fandClaude Opus 5 b6c4a59d69 docs: record the stored-format break, and say how the adaptive finders actually accumulate
The per-image image-scale B factor was dropped from the CBOR stream and from the written
HDF5, which is a change for anything reading those files, but the changelog listed it only
under the OpenAPI breaking changes.

The GPU adaptive finder test claimed both finders sum the rings in double. The CPU one
does; the GPU one stages a block's contribution in float before reducing across blocks in
double, deliberately, to keep the hot loop's shared footprint down. Say so, and say what
follows from it - detection compares integer pixel values, so a threshold that crosses an
integer flips every pixel of that value in the ring at once.

The spot finder flagged strong pixels on the device and then labelled them on the
host, so every frame sent the packed bitmask back - 2.26 MB on a large detector -
and the host walked all of it to recover a few hundred pixels. Do the labelling on
the device instead: compact the bitmask into a flat-index-sorted list, find each
pixel's backward neighbours by binary search, union them lock-free with path
halving, then label, accumulate and filter in one kernel. Only the spot list comes
back, and only one stream synchronisation per frame.

The gain in the ordinary case is modest - about a quarter off per-image spot
finding - because the host algorithm is genuinely fast on a normal frame. What
justifies it is the frame that is not ordinary. The host labels a sorted sparse
list through a window spanning two detector lines, so its cost is quadratic in how
many strong pixels share a line. A lit band of detector rows - a hot module, a
panel edge - costs 33 ms at two rows and 377 ms at fifteen, all of it under the
pixel cap that was supposed to bound this, and none of it maskable when the cause
is a diffraction ring rather than a defect: a ring runs tangent to a row at its
top and bottom, which is exactly the shape that hurts. The device version is flat
at 0.05 to 0.64 ms across every geometry tried, so an online run no longer stalls
a quarter of a second on an ice ring. Rejecting an over-cap frame is now free too,
since the count is known before any pixel is written.

Also label once and filter three times. The per-image minimum-pixel search runs the
extraction at three settings, but that setting only decides which components are
kept - it does not change the components - so the search itself need not be
repeated. This helps the host path as much as the device one.

The resolution mask moves to the device as a bit mask, uploaded when the limits
change rather than per frame, since the compaction needs it there.

Parity is asserted permanently rather than argued: five cases covering realistic
frames, occupancy from a hundred pixels to past the cap, the pathological
geometries including rings, the resolution mask, and a hundred-repeat determinism
check - requiring the same partition, the same spot order, and identical counts.
The centroid is a float sum and therefore order-dependent, so the device walks each
component from its root in ascending order and fuses its multiply-add the way the
host's does; note that whether the host fuses at all depends on the architecture
flags, so exact centroid equality is asserted where the compiler fuses and a
two-ulp bound otherwise. Making those accumulators integer would remove that
dependence entirely and is worth doing separately.

Regression set: all 37 crystals identical to the last printed digit. Unit suite
passes with the new cases.

leonarski_fandClaude Opus 5 bf866a0d4c CUDA: the engines' setup copies belong on the engine's stream
Making the worker streams non-blocking removed the implicit ordering that the
constructors were still relying on. Each engine uploads its static inputs - the
pixel mask, the pixel-to-bin map, the corrections, the ROI map - with a blocking
NULL-stream cudaMemcpy, and then reads them from kernels on its own stream. A
pageable host-to-device cudaMemcpy returns once the source has been staged, with
the DMA still in flight, and a non-blocking stream no longer waits for the NULL
stream. The failure mode is a silently unapplied mask or a stale mapping, not a
crash, so it would not have announced itself.

Put them on the stream the engine already owns, and synchronise once at the end of
the constructor - that is required for the preprocessor, whose source is a local
vector, and leaves the others settled rather than in flight for the cost of one
one-time sync. The GPU spot-finder test uploaded its image the same way.

leonarski_fandClaude Opus 5 aed1a7a6d6 Adaptive spot finder: pin the threshold to the image, and the GPU to itself
The existing cases plant blobs at 200 on a background of 8..12, so any threshold
between 12 and 200 passes them - replacing RingThreshold with a constant leaves
them all green. Two cases that do not:

- the CPU threshold has to track the background: a frame and the same frame
  scaled ten times must give the same spots, with a pixel a few sigma above the
  background staying unfound in both. A constant threshold, or one that drops
  the sigma term, fails one scale or the other.
- the GPU engine has to agree with itself across runs, which is what the ring
  sums being order-independent buys.

leonarski_fandClaude Opus 4.8 9fdeed282a Add fused GPU adaptive spot finder (azint + spot finding in one pass)
AdaptiveSpotFinderGPU does the per-resolution-ring reduction once on the GPU and
drives both products from it: the azimuthal-integration profile (corrected space)
and the self-calibrating adaptive spot-detection threshold (raw counts). This
replaces the separate GPU azint pass and the host-side adaptive spot finder that
runs on the GPU path today. On a ~4.5 MP detector it does both jobs in ~1 ms/frame
versus ~40 ms for the CPU adaptive finder (~42x), with an identical spot list and
azimuthal profile.

The per-ring threshold math (Poisson tail + read-floored Gaussian, operating point
from the false-pixels-per-frame knob) is factored into AdaptiveThreshold.h so the
CPU and GPU finders share one source of truth and cannot drift.

Wired opt-in via a MXAnalysisWithoutFPGA constructor flag, default on for the rugnux
offline path and the interactive viewer, off for the online receiver (so the broker
path is unchanged). When on, Analyze() skips the separate azint pass and lifts the
profile from the fused engine. The viewer gains an "Adaptive threshold" checkbox that
greys out the signal/noise and photon-count sliders (the adaptive finder uses neither).

Dedicated tests exercise both products (spot-finding parity vs the CPU finder,
azimuthal profile vs a standalone GPU azint) plus a speed benchmark. Validated
end-to-end on lysozyme serial stills: fused == CPU-adaptive index rate and merge stats.

Docs: new section 3.2 in docs/CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS.md.
