leonarski_fandClaude Opus 4.8 e7fbeb527f docs: update analysis references to match current code
Reconcile docs/CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS.md and docs/RUGNUX.md with the current
image_analysis/ and rugnux CLI (verified section-by-section against the code):
unified profile-fit Bragg integration engine, multi-lattice indexing,
azimuthal phi binning, radial parallax/bandwidth profile with sub-pixel
centring, rot3d capture-fraction handling, automatic CC1/2 resolution cutoff,
and the new rugnux options; fix the section numbering and cross-references;
remove the never-implemented French-Wilson and still-partiality descriptions.

Delete the stale in-source design notes (ICE_RING_DETECTION,
BRAGG_INTEGRATION_ENGINE, NEXTGEN_INTEGRATOR) and fix the two code comments
that pointed at them; the BraggIntegrationEngine header no longer claims it is
'not yet wired'.

# rugnux
`rugnux` is the **offline** crystallographic data-analysis tool of Jungfraujoch — the
data-processing half of the system (see [Naming](NAMING.md) for where the name comes from).
It takes an existing HDF5 dataset, runs the full analysis pipeline — spot finding, indexing,
geometry refinement, Bragg integration and (optionally) scaling and merging — and writes the
results to a `_process.h5` file, plus reflection files (`.mtz`/`.cif`/`.hkl`) when merging is
requested.
It runs the *same* analysis code as the online and interactive tools, just driven from the
command line over a file rather than a live detector stream.
> **Note.** `rugnux` is under very active development. This page describes the tool and
> its options at a high level; the authoritative, always-current list of options is the program's
> own usage message — run `rugnux` with no arguments.
## Where it fits among the three analysis tools
| Tool | Mode | Driven by | Output |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [`jfjoch_broker`](JFJOCH_BROKER.md) | Online, real-time streaming analysis on FPGA + GPU | HTTP/REST + ZeroMQ | Live results and statistics, images streamed to [`jfjoch_writer`](JFJOCH_WRITER.md) |
| [`jfjoch_viewer`](JFJOCH_VIEWER.md) | Interactive, on-screen exploration | Qt desktop application | Displayed on screen (results not saved to disk) |
| **`rugnux`** | **Offline batch processing of a stored dataset** | **Command-line interface** | **`_process.h5`, and `.mtz`/`.cif`/`.hkl` when merging** |
Use `rugnux` to re-analyse data after acquisition, to experiment with processing
parameters, or to produce merged intensities for downstream structure solution.
## Hardware
As with the rest of Jungfraujoch, **serious performance requires an NVIDIA GPU**. The CUDA build
provides the GPU fast-feedback indexer (`ffbidx`) and the GPU FFT indexer (`fft`); without CUDA
only the CPU `fftw` indexer is available. Spot finding, integration and scaling run on the CPU and
scale with the thread count (`-N`).
## Input and output
**Input** is a single Jungfraujoch HDF5 master file (NXmx-based). If the dataset already contains
stored spot lists, two-pass rotation indexing can reuse them instead of re-running spot finding on
the first pass.
**Output** (controlled by `-o, --output-prefix`, default `output`):
- `<prefix>_process.h5` — NXmx-compliant HDF5 with derived metadata (spots, indexing,
integration, azimuthal integration, per-image statistics). See
[HDF5 / NeXus data format](HDF5.md) for the layout. Written by default only when **not** merging
(i.e. under `--no-merge`); add `--write-process-h5` to also write it when merging.
- Merging is **on by default** (`--no-merge` disables it). The merged reflections are written as
`<prefix>.cif` (mmCIF — the default), or `<prefix>.mtz` / `<prefix>.hkl` depending on
`--scaling-output`. Both the mmCIF and the MTZ carry the **refined unit cell** (from rotation
indexing) and the **space group determined from systematic absences** (constrained to the indexed
lattice symmetry). No-reference scaling additionally emits per-iteration `<prefix>_iterN_scale.dat`.
Merged statistics (⟨I/σ⟩, CC1/2, completeness, …), the error model and timing are printed to the
console. By default the written resolution is trimmed automatically where CC1/2 falls off
(`--resolution-cutoff cc-logistic`, CC1/2 target 0.30); set `--scaling-high-resolution` to fix the
limit by hand, or `--resolution-cutoff off` to keep the full range.
## Re-scaling and re-merging (`rugnux --scale`)
The `--scale` mode re-scales and merges the *already-integrated* reflections stored in a
`_process.h5` file, without re-running spot finding or integration. Use it to re-merge quickly with a
different space group, resolution limit, anomalous setting or reference MTZ. It reuses the same
`-o/-N/-s/-e/-S/-A/-B/-z/--scaling-*` options as the full run, and (unlike the full pipeline) does
not run a space-group search, so pass `-S` for the correct symmetry.
## Quick start
### Rotation data
Index, integrate, scale and merge a rotation sweep, fully de novo:
```
rugnux rotation_master.h5 \
-o lyso_rot -N 32 \
--scaling-high-resolution 1.4
```
Because the dataset carries a rotation goniometer axis, it is processed as **rotation data by
default**: two-pass rotation indexing (index the sweep once, then process every frame against that
lattice) with the **`rot3d`** partiality model (rotation partials combined into 3D fulls). Scaling
and merging run **by default** (for both rotation and stills; `--no-merge` turns them off); the unit
cell is taken from the rotation indexer and the space group is determined from systematic absences,
and both are written
into the merged `.cif`.
Run **fully de novo** (no `-C`/`-S`) for the best result — supplying a cell or space group up front
tends to *degrade* low-symmetry cases. `--scaling-high-resolution` (set it to your expected
resolution) sharpens both the space-group search and the error model. To tune the first pass use
`--two-pass-rotation=100` (or `-R100` — the first-pass image count); to force the sweep to be
treated as independent stills use `--force-still`.
### Still / serial data
A dataset with **no goniometer axis** (e.g. a serial grid scan) is processed as **independent
stills automatically** — no flag needed. Known-cell indexing with the GPU fast-feedback indexer,
then merge against a reference structure:
```
rugnux serial_master.h5 \
-o lyso_serial -N 32 \
-X ffbidx -C 79,79,38,90,90,90 -S 96 \
--spot-sigma 4 \
-z reference.mtz \
--scaling-high-resolution 1.8
```
`ffbidx` requires a known cell (`-C`) and is the indexer of choice for sparse serial stills. For
weak serial data, tightening spot finding with `--spot-sigma 4` typically raises the indexing rate
substantially. If a dataset *does* carry a goniometer axis but you want per-frame stills processing
anyway, add `--force-still`.
## Command-line options
General:
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `-o, --output-prefix <txt>` | Output file prefix (default: `output`) |

| `--max-spots <num>` | Maximum spot count (default: 250) |
| `--detect-ice-rings[=on\|off]` | Flag ice-ring spots (de-prioritised in indexing) and exclude ice-ring reflections from scaling/merging; overrides the dataset/master-file setting (default: use the dataset value) |
Azimuthal integration (the radial profile behind the per-image ice-ring score):
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `-q, --azim-q-spacing <num>` | Q bin spacing, 1/Å (default: 0.01; finer resolves the narrow ice rings) |

Indexing:
A dataset with a **rotation goniometer axis** is processed as rotation data (two-pass rotation
indexing) by default; a dataset without one is processed as independent stills. `--force-still`
overrides the former; the `-R` / `--single-pass-rotation` / `--force-rotation-lattice` flags request
rotation explicitly and pick the pass or lattice.
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--force-still` | Treat a rotation (goniometer) dataset as independent stills instead of rotation |
| `-X, --indexing-algorithm <txt>` | `FFBIDX` \| `FFT` \| `FFTW` \| `Auto` \| `None` |
| `-C, --unit-cell <cell>` | Reference unit cell `"a,b,c,alpha,beta,gamma"` (required by `ffbidx`) |
| `-S, --space-group <num>` | Space group number (used for indexing and scaling) |
| `-r, --refine <txt>` | Geometry refinement: `none` \| `orientation` \| `beam_and_lattice` (default) |

| `--single-pass-rotation[=num]` | Online-like single-pass rotation indexing (optional min angular range, deg) |
| `--redo-rotation-spots` | Redo spot finding for the two-pass rotation first pass |
| `--force-rotation-lattice <vec>` | Force rotation lattice (9 floats, Å), skipping the first pass |
Indexer choice in brief: `ffbidx` (GPU) refines toward a **known cell** and is best for sparse
serial stills; `fft` (GPU) / `fftw` (CPU) index **de novo** and suit strong rotation data. See the
[CPU/GPU data-analysis reference](CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS.md) for the algorithms.
