Saturation clips the strongest spots, and those are at low resolution. On a Rayonix stills set the
saturated pixels sat almost entirely past 4 A (0.002% of the reflections coarser than 4 A against
0.59% overall) - flagged or hot pixels, not clipped spots - and keeping those observations as lower
bounds put the saturation limit into high-resolution intensities: R_split 0.12 -> 0.93, CC1/2 0.99
-> 0.33. The run now keeps overloads only where their share coarser than 4 A is at least 1.5x their
overall share; otherwise they are flagged and dropped as before, with a log line saying so.
On clipped CCD stills the share coarser than 4 A is 2.6-5.9x the overall one and nothing changes
(R_split and R_free identical); on the Rayonix set R_split returns to 0.12. A pragmatic gate until
saturation is told from bad pixels per spot. Rotation never keeps overloads and is unaffected.
