Wherever the correction is set for the whole run its curve is the frame's peak-excluded ring
background (the adaptive spot finder's, whole frame) and the ring's clip follows it - as stills have
done since integ-pal - now rotation too. One empty-aperture measurement (BackgroundAperture) decides
it for both workflows:
- The apertures' corrected difference is now taken as the integrator applies the correction: the
clip follows the curve (each ring pixel's threshold raised by the curve's rise from the centre, in
whole counts) as well as the kernel correction. Before, the tally clipped flat, so it measured a
correction the engine never applies.
- Rotation measures the stencils the spot width can give it (r1 = 4, 5, 6 with the ring-area rule,
RotationStencil) and decides on the one it gets, and separately on the pre-adaptive stencil the
geometry pre-pass and the starvation guard return to.
- Stills: on wherever the corrected ring predicts the empty disk better (unchanged rule).
Rotation: the frame's curve on every image only where it takes >= 10% of the apertures' mean
square error away (ROTATION_RADIAL_MIN_GAIN); otherwise the existing per-image ice gate with the
reflections' curve is left exactly as it was. Why a margin on rotation only: a still has no other
correction, a sweep has one. Measured over 18 rotation sets (forced on every image): photon-counting
sweeps gain 0.1-5% on the apertures (z 3-4) and lose ISa/anomalous signal when corrected
(insulin, lysozyme, cytochrome c; 9yzk R-free +0.009 at 1.2%), as the earlier stills-rule trial
found; the home-source CCD and smooth-ice runs gain 13-31%.
Result (CPU A/B vs 87684012f, 18 rotation sets): 12 .hkl byte-identical (every photon-counting
control without ice), 5uth R-free 0.210 -> 0.201 / ISa 10.4 -> 10.8, the ice set neutral; stills:
lcls242_s turns the correction on (the clip-following tally), R-free 0.2399 -> 0.2406.
No integration kernel changed; the tally is host code. Tests: BackgroundAperture_CorrectedClipFollowsTheCurve,
RadialHelps margins.
