Add --soft-weight (implies --adaptive-spots): give every detected spot a
continuous quality weight in (0,1] and keep the highest-weight spots rather than
the brightest, so a deliberately loose detector self-cleans -- bright ice / salt
/ jet blobs and single-pixel noise no longer evict faint clean Bragg spots from
the max-spots cut.
The weight is a product of dimensionless gates (AdaptiveSpotFinderCPU::ApplyWeights,
computed against the per-ring background the adaptive finder already builds): a
logistic ramp in the spot's SNR and a soft size band (rises from one pixel,
plateaus, falls for oversized ice/salt/streak blobs). It carries on
DiffractionSpot -> SpotToSave and is consumed by FilterSpotsByCount, which ranks
by {non-ice, weight, intensity} when requested and by intensity otherwise, so the
classic and FPGA paths are unchanged.
Honest result: on the serial-stills battery this is index-rate-NEUTRAL. The
weighted ranking only changes the outcome when the spot count exceeds the
max-spots cap and the weight disagrees with intensity in a way that affects
indexing; the adaptive detectors already produce clean spot lists and the weak
sets sit under the cap, so re-ranking is a wash there (and a wash, not a
regression, on the one set that floods). Its intended benefit -- robustness to
ice/jet-contaminated frames and to a loosened detector -- is not exercised by
this battery; kept opt-in as the substrate for that.
