The lower bound counts each saturated pixel at the saturation limit, so it needs one. An observation
overloaded only by pixels unreadable on this frame (a per-frame bad-pixel flag, data value 0) was kept
as a box sum with those pixels counted as zero, which bounds nothing; it now stays overloaded and is
dropped, per observation.
With the stuck pixels masked by the pre-scan, the run-level gate (kept overloads must be enriched
coarser than 4 A) has nothing left to catch: without it every still set gives the gated result
(clipped CCD and Rayonix sets identical to the fourth decimal, photon-counting sets unchanged), so it
is removed with Reflection::overload_kept. A neighbour-brightness test per saturated pixel was tried
and not kept: after the mask it only dropped 9-20% of the Rayonix overloads and worsened R_split on
one set (0.245 -> 0.278).
