1.0.0-rc.174 (#84)
* Rugnux: Performance improvements on GPU and CPU (more of the pre-scan and of scaling on the GPU, faster CPU spot finding and crystal refinement), with unchanged results.
* Rugnux: More robust processing - patches of persistently hot pixels are masked, an inconsistent merge triggers a retry at the measured beam centre, and builds targeting different CPU levels give the same results.
* Rugnux: Improved scaling and merging - reflections with an overloaded pixel are dropped, as in XDS, sparse rotation sweeps are scaled more reliably, and French-Wilson amplitudes use an anisotropic Wilson prior.
* Rugnux: Improved space-group determination - glide planes in groups without a centre of symmetry, screw axes from short or weak axial rows kept when a higher group is adopted, and more reliable decisions on twinned and pseudo-symmetric crystals.
* Rugnux: Improved small-molecule processing - spots that grow wider than the integration disk and split spots are integrated over their measured footprint, sparse lattices are integrated on every frame, and the `.hkl` file holds unmerged scaled reflections (SHELX HKLF 4).
* Rugnux: Reads Rigaku d*TREK SMV images (Saturn CCD), including detector 2theta and encoded pixel overflows; home-source (rotating-anode) datasets were added to the validation battery.
* jfjoch_viewer: Fixed processing failing at the end with "Wrong JPEG library version" on Linux; the merge window shows the space group with proper subscripts and a checklist of crystal pathologies.

# CPU-side crystallographic data analysis (Jungfraujoch)
This document describes the crystallographic algorithms implemented in Jungfraujoch for **CPU**- and **GPU**-side real‑time and near‑real‑time data analysis.
**Scope.** The pipeline covered here comprises:
1. geometry mapping and corrections,
2. azimuthal integration (powder/radial profiles),
3. Bragg spot finding (strong pixels → connected components → spot descriptors),
4. indexing (still and rotation modes),
5. Bravais lattice / centering inference,
6. geometry and lattice refinement,
7. reflection prediction (still and rotation),
8. Bragg integration by either 2D box summation or profile fitting (Kabsch, reference-free),
9. scaling and merging,
10. merge-level error modelling, outlier rejection and the resolution cutoff,
11. space-group determination from the merged intensities (Laue group, screw axes, glide planes, centering, the centre of symmetry), the twinning check and the translational pseudo-symmetry check,
12. auxiliary statistics (Wilson plot, ⟨I/σ(I)⟩, CC1/2, CCref),
13. amplitude estimation (French–Wilson) and R-free test-set flagging,
14. optional model-based validation: rigid-body placement of a supplied model, R-free against it, sigma_A-weighted 2mFo−DFc / mFo−DFc electron-density maps, and an anomalous difference map with the strongest anomalous sites named.
The reference is split into four parts, in pipeline order; the section numbers run continuously
across them and are the ones the rest of the documentation cites.
- [From images to spots (§0–§3)](CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS_IMAGE.md) — device-side decoding, geometry and
reciprocal-space mapping, azimuthal integration, spot finding.
- [Indexing and geometry refinement (§4–§7)](CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS_INDEXING.md) — FFT and fast-feedback
indexing, the lattice search, geometry refinement, post-refinement and powder calibration.
- [Prediction, integration, scaling and merging (§8–§12)](CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS_INTEGRATION.md) —
reflection prediction, profile-fitted integration, scaling, merging, mosaicity and the auxiliary
statistics.
- [Space group and validation (§13–§14)](CPU_DATA_ANALYSIS_DECISIONS.md) — the space-group search,
twinning and translational pseudo-symmetry, the resolution cutoff, diffraction anisotropy, and
model-based validation.
