a1816e905 adds the partly transmitting holder-arm pieces to the beam-stop mask, and the
background beam-centre fit read that mask too. A thin arm running into the beam, masked, takes
cells out of the rings it crosses; which radial bins stay above the sector-coverage gate then
changes as the trial centre moves, and a walk seeded beside the arm (the FFT capture sat 48 px off)
limit-cycled on that edge and stopped 44 px short (sigma 0.34 -> 2.27 px). On an open-arm set whose
header centre is 171 px out, the measured centre no longer indexed (60/60 -> 0/60), the run kept the
file's centre and merged P1 at CC1/2 0.004 instead of P212121 at 0.995.
The arm's dimming is multiplicative in azimuth, which the fit's per-sector amplitude already
absorbs, so the fit now uses the mask without those pieces (ShadowFinder marks them TRANSMITTING);
integration still masks them. The fitted centre is back to its a0518abe6 value on every set checked
(the failing one plus four arm sets); the failing set merges P212121, CC1/2 0.995, ISa 22.6.
