v1.0.0-rc.164 (#74)
* rugnux now tells you whether a crystal diffracts anisotropically and how far it reaches in each direction, without a second program: a new `9. DIFFRACTION ANISOTROPY` section in `<prefix>_report.txt` and matching `_reflns.pdbx_aniso_B_tensor_*` / `_reflns.jfjoch_aniso_*` items in the merged mmCIF report the anisotropic deltaB, the diffraction limit along each principal direction, and a `NOT DETECTED` / `DETECTED` / `CANNOT DETERMINE` verdict measured against the data set's own systematic error. It is a description only - no intensity is corrected, no reflection is removed, and the merged data do not depend on direction.
* rugnux can hand its integrated observations to another scaling program: `--export-unmerged` writes `<prefix>_unmerged.mtz`, an unmerged MTZ readable by aimless, pointless, careless and `iotbx.merging_statistics`, in `--mode mx` and `--mode scale` alike. Each rotation reflection's partials are summed into one full; `--export-unmerged-partials` writes one row per image instead. Intensities carry the Lorentz-polarization factor and nothing else, since those programs scale the data themselves. Lattice-centring absences are not written; screw and glide absences are.
* rugnux integrates crystals with broad spots better - where it changes anything, per-shell mean I/sigma improves by up to 31% and R_meas by up to 24% - because on rotation data the integration signal radius is now taken from the crystal's own measured spot width instead of a fixed 4 px. `--adaptive-integration-radius=off` restores the fixed radius and an explicit `--integration-radius` still overrides both. The widened radius applies to the final integration pass only, and a pattern too dense for it is re-integrated at 4 px with a note in the log.
* rugnux discards fewer stills reflections for want of a background ring, improving per-shell R_meas over most of the signal-bearing range: the stills background ring now runs to 14 px instead of 12. The gain reverses in shells below a mean I/sigma of about 4.
* rugnux determines the space group with thresholds that mean the same thing on a weak crystal as on a strong one: symmetry operators are scored on resolution-normalised intensities (E squared) instead of raw merged intensities, and a reflection counts as genuinely present on its counting significance instead of on the merged I/sigma, which saturates at the merge's own ISa. The search resolution cut is no longer able to move the answer, and the twin-law H bound moves from 1.70 to 1.85, which stops one class of correct high-symmetry assignment being refused as twinning.
* rugnux says what the space-group search tested and what it could not: the twin-law disagreement H is printed for every operator together with the adopted point group's H ratio and its bound; alternatives that are not on the reported lattice are named with how their cell differs; and a lattice centring the data could not test - the crystal having been integrated on the primitive sub-cell, so the reflections it extinguishes were never measured - is marked `UNTESTED` and warned about where it is adopted, as coming from the lattice metric rather than from the intensities.
* rugnux `--mode scale` re-merges a `_process.h5` in the right symmetry without being told it: the file now records the space group on every run - a two-pass rotation run wrote none before, so re-merging defaulted to P1 - together with the change of basis under `/entry/MX/reindexMatrix` where the lattice was re-seated, and `--mode scale` also reports the Wilson B-factor estimate instead of `WILSON_B= nan`. A file written before this stops with a message naming the two cells and the override to use, instead of failing inside the merge. A third-party reader of a `_process.h5` must apply `reindexMatrix` where it is present.
* rugnux installs on its own, as a package called `rugnux` - `dnf install rugnux` or `apt install rugnux` - instead of arriving inside `jfjoch-viewer`. It pulls in none of the acquisition stack, so a machine that only processes data no longer has to carry the broker, the detector libraries or Qt to get it. Installing it over a `jfjoch-viewer` from rc.163 or earlier, which still owns `/usr/bin/rugnux`, upgrades cleanly rather than failing on the duplicate file.
* rugnux is also a standalone download, built for arm64 as well as x86_64: `rugnux-<version>-linux-{x86_64|aarch64}-cuda<major>.tgz` and `rugnux-<version>-win64-cuda<major>.zip` on the release page, for machines that are not managed by a package manager. The aarch64 build targets GH200 and DGX Spark, and is untested on hardware.
* Every portable Linux binary is now a single self-contained file: cuFFT is linked statically instead of being shipped beside the executable and found through an rpath, so `rugnux` and `jfjoch_viewer` need nothing but an NVIDIA driver, and only to use the GPU. The `.rpm`/`.deb` continue to take cuFFT from the distribution. The developer utilities `jfjoch_extract_hkl` and `jfjoch_recompress` are no longer packaged anywhere.
* Jungfraujoch needs six fewer shared libraries on the machine - libopenblas and libmetis, and libgfortran, libquadmath, libgomp and libz behind them - because the Ceres LAPACK, METIS and SuiteSparse back-ends are no longer built. Nothing in the code ever selected them, and results are unchanged.
* The PCIe driver DKMS package builds for the kernel it is being installed for instead of the running one, so a module built while a kernel update is being applied loads after the reboot.
* The PCIe driver builds on RHEL 9.5 and later, and on their CentOS Stream, Rocky and AlmaLinux equivalents, where the `vm_flags` kernel interface was backported into the 5.14 kernel.
* A data collection started with `async_start` that fails to start - a writer refusing to overwrite an existing file, for instance - is reported as an error by `/wait_until_running` and `/wait_till_done` instead of as a timeout and a successful collection respectively. The error message is the one the writer gave.
* A calibration that is cancelled or that fails to collect its pedestals is no longer reported as a successful one. The broker goes to `Inactive` with an error message and has to be initialized again, instead of sitting in `Idle` looking ready to measure while holding partial pedestals - data collected in that state was silently mis-converted.
* A failed `/initialize` is reported to `/wait_until_running` and `/wait_till_done` as soon as it happens, instead of when their timeout expires.
* `space_group_number` accepts space groups up to 230 in the API schema, so cubic space groups can be recorded. The broker always accepted them; the generated clients rejected them before the request was sent.
* The results report's `REPORT_VERSION` is 3, two sections having been added. Existing key names and table columns are unchanged.
* The merged statistics table has **9** resolution shells instead of 10, which is what XDS reports. The bins were already XDS's - equal steps in 1/d^2 between the lowest- and the highest-resolution reflection the merge kept - so at the same resolution limits the two tables now have the same shell boundaries and can be read row for row. `--resolution-shells` sets a different count.
* `rugnux --model` now settles the frame the merged reflections are written in, not only the frame the R-factors and the maps are computed in: the `.mtz`/`.cif`/`.hkl` come out in the model's indexing, and where the data were merged in the model's enantiomorph they take the model's hand and space group - which on anomalous data puts I(+) and I(-) the right way round. The indexing choice is logged with the winning R-free and the runner-up, so a decision made within noise is visible.
* `rugnux --model` can resolve the indexing ambiguity of a **serial stills** run, which a model could not do before: structure factors computed from the model become the per-image reference, the same role a reference MTZ plays. It needs the cell and space group up front (`-C` / `-S`). Without one or the other, a merohedral serial run still merges both hands together and says so.
* The rugnux documentation opens with a quick start - the default run, and runs with a reference MTZ, with a model, or with the space group and cell pinned - and explains the indexing ambiguity: what it costs on rotation and on serial data, and which of `-z` / `--model` resolves it in each case. The long reference pages now carry a table of contents.

Decoding bitshuffle+LZ4 images on the GPU, rather than decompressing them on the host and uploading
the result, follows Jon Wright (ESRF): "Experiences with GPU decompression for bitshuffle + LZ4
data", HDF5 User Group meeting (2021), and [bslz4decoders](https://github.com/jonwright/bslz4decoders).
The CUDA kernels in Jungfraujoch are its own, but the approach is his.
Spot extraction groups strong pixels into spots with the sparse connected-component labelling of the
ACTS traccc project: P. Gessinger, H. M. Gray, A. Krasznahorkay, C. Leggett, J. Niermann,
A. Salzburger, S. N. Swatman and B. Yeo, "traccc: GPU track reconstruction library for HEP
experiments" (2025), [arXiv:2505.22822](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.22822);
[traccc](https://github.com/acts-project/traccc). The CPU spot extractor adapts its SparseCCL source,
and the CUDA spot extractor follows the design of its GPU counterpart - a backward-neighbour graph
over a sorted hit list, resolved by a parallel union-find. traccc is MPL-2.0; see
[THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md).

## Crystallographic methods adopted from other packages
The analysis pipeline reimplements methods first published, and in most cases first implemented, by
other crystallographic software. The code below is Jungfraujoch's own; the methods are theirs, and
are acknowledged here. Where a package's source was consulted this is said explicitly. None of these
packages is linked or vendored, with the single exception of GEMMI (see
[THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md](THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md)).
**[XDS](https://xds.mr.mpg.de/)** — rotation geometry and notation, the reciprocal Lorentz and
partiality treatment, the maximum-likelihood mosaicity estimate, the `MINPK` criterion for rejecting
a reflection whose predicted profile is not cleanly its own, the intensity-based test for a
centred lattice, and the scaling correction surfaces indexed by image number and detector region. W. Kabsch, "XDS" (2010), Acta Cryst. D66, 125-132

scaling, space-group assignment and post-refinement" (2010), Acta Cryst. D66, 133-144
[doi:10.1107/S0907444909047374](https://doi.org/10.1107/S0907444909047374).
**Profile fitting** with reweighted, de-biased variances is the Kabsch/Otwinowski iteration, from the
second XDS paper above and from Z. Otwinowski and W. Minor, "Processing of X-ray diffraction data
collected in oscillation mode" (1997), Methods Enzymol. 276, 307-326
[doi:10.1016/S0076-6879(97)76066-X](https://doi.org/10.1016/S0076-6879%2897%2976066-X).
**[DIALS](https://dials.github.io/)** — the resolution cutoff from the CC1/2 fall-off, per-observation
outlier rejection at merge, the scaling error model, and the treatment of a reflection whose
background is contaminated. Its published behaviour, and in places its source, settled several
choices here. G. Winter, D. G. Waterman, J. M. Parkhurst et al., "DIALS: implementation and
evaluation of a new integration package" (2018), Acta Cryst. D74, 85-97

**[POINTLESS](https://www.ccp4.ac.uk/)** (CCP4) — the space-group search. Stage A scores each
candidate rotation operator by the correlation of I(h) with I(Rh) on **resolution-normalised**
intensities (E²), as POINTLESS does — both arms of a symmetry pair sit at the same |s|, so on raw
intensities the resolution fall-off is variance shared between them and lifts a false operator's
correlation as much as a true one's; the screw-axis test scores a
predicted-absent class against the rest of its own axial row rather than against a global mean or a
fixed cut, and lets confidence fall away with the number of axial reflections instead of refusing
below a count. P. Evans, "Scaling and assessment of data quality" (2006), Acta Cryst. D62, 72-82

[doi:10.1038/nprot.2017.037](https://doi.org/10.1038/nprot.2017.037).
**[CrystFEL](https://www.desy.de/~twhite/crystfel/)** — spot finding, the three-ring integration
region, the serial/stills processing model, and the per-frame indexing acceptance test
(`indexing_peak_check()` in `peaks.c`). T. A. White, R. A. Kirian, A. V. Martin, A. Aquila, K. Nass,

**[GEMMI](https://github.com/project-gemmi/gemmi)** — symmetry operations, unit-cell and
structure-factor machinery, and MTZ / XDS_ASCII I/O. Vendored in `gemmi_gph/`, so it also carries a
licence obligation. M. Wojdyr, "GEMMI: A library for structural biology" (2022), J. Open Source
Softw. 7, 4200 [doi:10.21105/joss.04200](https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.04200).
**Hexagonal-ice ring positions** — the eleven measured ring $d$ spacings the ice-ring score, the
ice-ring flagging and the ice calibrant are all built on are taken from the measurements of, not
enumerated from a cell. D. W. Moreau, H. Atakisi and R. E. Thorne, "Ice in biomolecular
cryocrystallography" (2021), Acta Cryst. D77, 540-554
[doi:10.1107/S2059798321001170](https://doi.org/10.1107/S2059798321001170).
**Diffraction anisotropy** — the description of the overall fall-off by a single anisotropic
displacement tensor, its symmetry constraints, and the fact that only its deviatoric part is
determined (the isotropic part being degenerate with the overall scale) are Sheriff and Hendrickson's.
The estimator fits that tensor to the observed intensity distribution, taking sigma(I) into account,
in the sense of Popov and Bourenkov. The directional diffraction limits - <I/sigma(I)> in a cone about
each principal direction, and the reporting of the anisotropic deltaB as the range of the principal
components - follow AIMLESS. rugnux reports these; it corrects no intensity and removes no reflection
on a directional criterion. S. Sheriff and W. A. Hendrickson, "Description of overall anisotropy in
diffraction from macromolecular crystals" (1987), Acta Cryst. A43, 118-121

**Data-quality statistics** follow the established conventions rather than any one program: R_meas
and R_pim, CC1/2 and CC\*, and the reporting of I/sigma(I). K. Diederichs and P. A. Karplus, "Improved
R-factors for diffraction data analysis in macromolecular crystallography" (1997), Nat. Struct. Biol.
