v1.0.0.rc-161 (#71)
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: significantly better quality of results, and faster.** A large rework of integration, scaling, merging, geometry refinement and space-group determination, together with measurements the program previously made no attempt at - the direct beam before indexing, the beam stop, the goniometer rotation scale, and the stretches of a sweep the crystal did not deliver. A rotation dataset typically gains observations at better <I/sigma> and R_meas, and every `mx` and `scale` run writes a `<prefix>_report.txt` results report modelled on XDS's `CORRECT.LP`. Many defaults moved with it: spot detection is self-calibrating, beam-stop detection and rotation geometry post-refinement are on, resolution limits default to as far as the detector reaches, and ice-ring handling engages only where the crystal is measured to have ice.
* **jfjoch_viewer:** the beam-stop shadow, the detector calibration and the beam-centre measurement are reachable from "Analyze dataset"; the settings panel reports how the sample moved and how polarized the beam was; image rendering and interaction are faster.
* **Performance:** bitshuffle+LZ4 images are decoded on the GPU rather than on the host, with the bitshuffle inverse fused into preprocessing so the decompressed frame is never held in device memory.
* **Broker, writer, packaging and build:** image-slot lifetime and locking fixes, per-image datasets sized by the images actually written, the Debian/Ubuntu broker package renamed to `jfjoch`, and `image_analysis` compiling under MSVC again.

**Breaking change to the rugnux command line:**
* `--azint-only` and `--scale` are **removed**, replaced by `--mode azint` and `--mode scale`; the full pipeline is `--mode mx` and remains the default. A script passing the old flags now fails with the list of valid modes rather than silently running the wrong one.
* `-t`/`--stride` is **refused on rotation data**: skipping frames cuts every reflection's rocking curve, so the combined fulls and their partiality would be measured over frames the sweep never recorded. Select a contiguous range with `-s`/`-e` instead. `--mode azint` and `--force-still` still take a stride.

**Breaking changes to OpenAPI** - regenerate the client (`jfjoch-client` 1.0.0-rc.161, `frontend/src/client`) or read the affected fields as optional:
* `image_scale_b` is removed from the `plot_type` enum, so a client requesting that plot now gets an error rather than a curve.
* `azim_int_settings.high_q_recipA`, `spot_finding_settings.high_resolution_limit` and `spot_finding_settings.low_resolution_limit` are no longer `required`. All three mean "no limit at that end" when unset and are omitted from the response instead of carrying a placeholder value, which raises in a client generated from an rc.160-or-earlier spec. A value of 0 is still accepted and means the same thing.

**Breaking changes to the stored formats** - a consumer reading these fields must treat them as optional:
* The per-image image-scale B factor is no longer computed, so `/entry/MX/imageScaleBFactor` is absent from newly written HDF5 files and the corresponding key is absent from the CBOR DataMessage and END blocks. Files written by rc.160 and earlier still contain it and still open; nothing in the pipeline reads it any more.
* `_reflns.jfjoch_diffrn_ISa` now carries the whole-range `1/sqrt(a*b)` that XDS's ISa denotes, and the error-model `a` and `b` are reported in XDS's convention; the strong-reflection asymptote moves to `_reflns.jfjoch_diffrn_ISa_asymptotic`. **A file written by an earlier version carries the asymptote under the plain `ISa` name.**

Detector geometry

At the moment Jungfraujoch supports solely flat detectors. The default option is to place modules in their actual location vs. detector frame. It is not recommended to place detector modules stacked.

The simplest case is detector perpendicular to the beam. In this case it is enough to provide beam center, detector distance and wavelength.

For more complex case, one can provide tilt of the detector rotation in PyFAI convention. This convention uses Point Of Nominal Interaction (PONI) definition. Beam X and Y would correspond to the location on the detector, where beam from the sample is perpendicular to the detector surface and not to the actual direct beam location. Then tilt of the detector is defined with three rotation angles: rot1 (rotating detector right), rot2 (rotating detector downwards), rot3 (rotating detector clockwise). See PyFAI documentation for more details.

What a pixel coordinate means: (0, 0) is the centre of the first pixel

Pixel coordinates in Jungfraujoch and rugnux are 0-based and pixel-centred: an integer coordinate is the centre of that pixel, so pixel i covers [i 0.5, i + 0.5) and the sensor spans 0.5 … width 0.5. A beam centre of 948.0 × 546.0 sits in the middle of pixel [546][948], not on any of its corners; 948.5 is the boundary between pixel 948 and 949.

This holds throughout the code: spot and reflection centroids are intensity-weighted sums of the integer pixel indices, the resolution and azimuthal-bin maps evaluate pixel (col, row) at exactly (col, row), and a fractional coordinate is turned back into a pixel index by rounding, not by truncation. The same convention applies to every coordinate the system exposes — the beam centre (beam_x_pxl/beam_y_pxl in the API and broker configuration, --beam-x/--beam-y in rugnux, beam_center_x/beam_center_y in NXmx and in the CBOR stream), the spot and predicted-reflection positions written to HDF5, and the PONI reported by --mode calibration.

Other programs place the origin differently, and the difference is worth half a pixel — enough to matter when a geometry is copied between programs and then refined:

Convention Beam centre equivalent to our x = 948.0
Jungfraujoch, rugnux 948.0
XDS (ORGX/ORGY) 949.0 — also pixel-centred, but pixels are numbered from 1
Measured from the edge of the sensor, in length units — pyFAI (Poni1/Poni2), DIALS/dxtbx (948.0 + 0.5) × pixel size, because the centre of pixel i is at (i + 0.5) × pixel size from the edge

The .poni file written by rugnux --mode calibration is in pyFAI's frame and so already carries that half pixel; the pixel values the same run reports are ours.

Macromolecular crystallography convention for the vertical direction

One place of confusion is the convention to have point (0,0) of the detector in the top left corner of the detector, with Y values increasing downwards. This is also consistent with computer image formats.

However, other techniques (as well as internal operation of PSI X-ray detectors) might follow convention, for point (0,0) being in the bottom left corner and Y values increasing upwards. Such a convention is used, for example, by PyFAI.

In general, convention is controlled in Jungfraujoch with a setting in the JSON configuration file, which allows mirroring detector in Y.

Extra care has to be taken by the user to ensure that no errors are made.
