Open questions

What CORA needs the ID19 team to confirm before the model can be trusted.

ID19 was reverse-engineered from the beamline's own public BLISS Beacon device database (gitlab.esrf.fr/id19/beamline_configuration), so the control handles in the Inventory are the beamline's real BLISS object and Tango device names, read from the config rather than confirmed by staff. Each row below is a fact the beamline team owns, not a CORA modelling choice (those are on Model). It is a delete-on-answer queue. Priorities are Blocks-build, Blocks-go-live, and Nice-to-have.

Control and the BLISS / Tango floor

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
CTRL-1 Blocks-go-live Are the BLISS object and Tango device handles read from the public config current and correct against the live system? The handles in the descriptor are taken from the config and carried confirm. Verifying each Asset's control handle on the BLISS floor.
CTRL-2 Nice-to-have Which BLISS scan procedure(s) ID19 uses per endstation (continuous / fly versus step), and which the CORA edge drives through versus replaces. A continuous-rotation scan clocked by the rotation stage; the conduct-versus-replace split is per routine. The orchestration seam over the ControlPort.

Topology and scope

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
ENC-1 Blocks-go-live The hutch grouping: one optics hutch and one experiment hutch holding both endstations, or a finer split? One id19-optics and one id19-experiment enclosure. The Enclosure grouping.
ENDSTATION-1 Nice-to-have The further endstations in the config (MH, MED, laminography LATOMO, RADIO, PCOTOMO, the SmarAct towers, the fluorescence MCAs): are they distinct endstations CORA should model? Noted, not modelled in this cut; MR and HR are the two main tomography stations. The remaining endstation roster.

Source and optics

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
SRC-1 Blocks-go-live Which insertion device(s) feed which endstation / mode, and the energy reach. The undulators (u13a/u32a/u17-6c/u32c) and the w150b wiggler, selected per mode; the wiggler drives white-beam tomography. The source Asset and mode mapping.
OPT-1 Blocks-go-live The TripleMono crystal-pair / Laue / multilayer mode mapping, the transfocator lens recipe per energy, and the attenuator foil set. TripleMono Bragg 17-99 keV plus Laue / multilayer; 8 Be transfocator lenses; Cu/Al attenuator banks folding into Filter. The optics modelling.

Endstations

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
SAMPLE-1 Blocks-go-live The operative rotation and sample-positioning axis set per endstation (the config carries spare / commented axes). MR: mrsrot + mrsx/mrsy/mrxc/mryc; HR: hrsrot + hrsx/hrsy/hrsz/hrz0; XYOnRotation centring on each. The sample-stage modelling.
DET-1 Blocks-go-live The operative Lima detector(s) and the indirect-detection optics per endstation, and the propagation-stage axes. Interchangeable Frelon / PCO / Basler Lima cameras bound to Camera; the propagation stage binds LinearStage. The detector modelling.

Safety and resources

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
PSS-1 Blocks-go-live The ESRF PSS search-and-secure permit signals behind the frontend / bsh shutters (not in the config). Permit leaves to be named; the TangoShutter handles are known, the permit signals are not. The Enclosure permit signals and the safety tier.
SUP-1 Nice-to-have The vacuum extent of the beam path and the cooling-water / beam supplies a run draws on. Photon beam, cooling water, and vacuum, carried pending. The Supply observations.
GOV-1 Nice-to-have The ESRF operator pool and safety-review structure (site-level, shared across beamlines). Carried pending on the ESRF Site, not instantiated per beamline. The governance principals.

Technique

ID Priority Question CORA assumes Resolves
TECH-1 Blocks-go-live Does ID19 microtomography map cleanly onto the existing tomography Method, or does parallel-beam / phase-contrast imaging want a distinct Method? The existing tomography Method, a further consumer; carried as a pending Practice. The microtomography Practice.
