Reflections coarser than --scaling-low-resolution (default 50 A) are now merged and written - what
maps and refinement want of the lowest resolutions - but stay out of every fit of the scale model, by the
same path an ice-ring observation takes (excluded from scaling, kept for merging), under a name of its
own: RotationScaleMerge's per-observation flag is now `unscaled` (UNSCALED_ICE | UNSCALED_LOW_RES; on the
device OBS_UNSCALED = OBS_ON_ICE_FLAG | OBS_LOW_RES_FLAG), set from the reflection on the host and in the
device ingest, and only its ice bit marks a merged reflection as on an ice ring. The stills merge drops
its low-resolution cut; ScaleOnTheFly, StillsPartialityRefine and the reindexing correlation keep it.
The merge statistics run over the whole sphere unless --report-resolution declares a range, so the
reflections the beam stop hides count as missing. Which coarse reflections exist at all is the beam-stop
shadow test's decision (a7610d847).
Why not simply lift the limit: on 5nw5, 35 reflections beyond 50 A bent the scale model enough to move
the merged 20-50 A intensities by +61 % and 10-20 A by +19 % (Wilson B 319 -> 382, REFMAC R-free +0.006).
Kept out of the fit, the merged intensities at 10-50 A are unchanged to 0.2 % and Wilson B is 307.
CPU subset battery against the previous commit (lp-cpu-v2 / lp-cpu-v1): REFMAC 0-cycle R-free 5nw5
+0.0004, 6oel +0.0005, others within 0.0001; rugnux's own R-free/R_model rise where the new >50 A terms
enter it (lyso R_model 0.2714 -> 0.2739; the model is poorest there). Kept beyond 50 A: 7qij 61, 5nw5 35,
6oel 14 unique. In-house photon-counting sets unchanged, except insu_I_x06da_ref, where the delta-CC1/2
frame exclusion now removes 449 instead of 78 frames: refres R_meas 0.246 -> 0.167, ISa 33.5 -> 35.4,
R_free 0.2443 -> 0.2427, anomalous signal 3.31 -> 3.38 (XDS: R_meas 0.349, ISa 25.1). Stills (lcls242_s/t,
lcls222, euxfel83, sacla236) within 0.0002 of the previous commit. GPU (device ingest) and CPU give the
same 5nw5 merge.
