commit c42a195b1cde4822b9b0c4f2f86d627a2c9cac15 from: ale date: Tue Aug 18 02:31:34 2026 UTC Add ADES/MPC export; measure and document photometric_outlier_threshold and build_reference's real performance - New ades_psv: formats an astrometric_calibrate candidate table as an ADES PSV observation table, the format MPC currently requires for astrometric submissions. Deliberately not the legacy 80-column format (see its docstring for why: that needs a real MPC-assigned designation to pack correctly, which this pipeline doesn't have). Each real tracklet's own id becomes ADES's trkSub (base-36 encoded), which is exactly the identifier ADES needs for undesignated objects. julian_date_to_iso8601 (JD -> ISO 8601 UTC, ADES's obsTime format) is verified against two independent, exactly known reference points (J2000.0, the Unix epoch), not just trusted from the algorithm. - photometric_outlier_threshold: measured directly against the one real, confirmed anomaly this project has (the field-451 likely-passing-cloud frame quality_max_std catches) rather than left as "never validated." Real result: that frame's raw-path photometric_scale differs from the field median by only 0.64%, far under any reasonable threshold -- a real negative result showing this check and quality_max_std are sensitive to different failure modes, not redundant safety nets. - build_reference: profiled directly rather than just described as slow. The per-pixel median-combine loop's real cost (a fresh array allocated per pixel) is fixed with a reusable buffer -- a real, measured 2x speedup with byte-identical output. But it was never the actual bottleneck: Reproject.reproject itself is ~24s/frame, two orders of magnitude more than the entire combine step. A multi-threaded reprojection attempt (Threads.@threads across frames, reasoned safe since Reproject.jl itself has no shared state) segfaulted on a real run: WCS.jl's pix_to_world! wraps wcslib via ccall, and concurrent calls into it aren't safe. Reverted, documented directly in build_reference's own docstring so the same mistake isn't repeated.
