What CORA needs the ISR team to confirm before the model can be trusted.
ISR was reverse-engineered from the beamline's own bluesky profile collection (NSLS2/isr-profile-collection), which is an early / commissioning, optics-first scaffold. The control handles in the Inventory are the beamline's real PVs, read from the startup/ files rather than confirmed by staff, and the devices ISR's mission implies are largely absent from the source. 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.
The multi-circle diffractometer: only two axes (th, zeta) are bound under the Dif:ISD IOC. What are the full sample-orientation circles, the detector two-theta arm, and the reciprocal-space / hkl engine that resonant and surface (CTR) diffraction need?
One RotaryStage for the two bound axes; the full diffractometer is absent and not modelled.
The sample-orientation and detection-geometry modelling.
INSITU-1
Blocks-go-live
The in-situ sample environment: despite In Situ being the beamline's name, no temperature controller, electrochemistry / potentiostat, gas / flow, or cryostat is PV-bound. Which in-situ environments exist and what are their PVs?
No in-situ device modelled; carried as a named gap.
The in-situ sample-environment modelling.
RESONANT-1
Blocks-go-live
The resonant energy axis and polarization analysis: the DCM Bragg is the physical energy axis but a wired energy pseudo-axis is only a non-functional stub, and no polarization analyzer or phase retarder is bound. How is energy scanned for resonant work, and is polarization analyzed?
Energy via the DCM Bragg; no energy pseudo-axis or polarization device modelled.
The Eiger 1M model and the write path (a commissioning testing/ path in source), and the flux monitors (the QuadEM electrometers are defined but commented out; there is no point / scaler detector for diffraction counting).
One Camera Asset (Eiger 1M); no FluxMonitor Asset modelled until the electrometers are live.
The detector and flux-monitor modelling.
DIAG-1
Nice-to-have
The diagnostic screen cameras and the motorized beam-position monitor (only its stage motors are bound; the electrometers are commented out), and the position-versus-intensity split (the fleet-wide question).
Camera for the screens; a loose BeamPositionMonitor for the BPM stage (held under review).
Are the EPICS PV handles read from the profile collection current and correct, and is the profile representative of production (the databroker catalog is a placeholder name and several devices are commented out, both commissioning signals)?
The handles in the descriptor are taken from the profile collection and carried confirm; the data plane (bluesky-queueserver + Tiled) is the seam CORA's edge replaces.
Verifying each Asset's control handle and the data plane.
PSS-1
Blocks-go-live
The PSS search-and-secure permit signals and the photon / front-end shutters (no PSS / shutter / hutch-interlock device is in the profile collection).
Permit leaves and shutters to be named; not invented here.
The Enclosure permit signals and the safety tier.
SUP-1
Nice-to-have
The vacuum extent (the optics) and the cooling supply.
Photon beam, cooling water, and vacuum on the optics.
The Supply observations.
GOV-1
Nice-to-have
The NSLS-II operator pool and safety-review structure (site-level, shared across the beamlines).
Carried pending on the NSLS-II Site, not instantiated per beamline.
Do resonant scattering and surface (CTR) diffraction enter CORA's catalog as Capabilities / Methods?
Deferred: carried as pending Practices reusing the 4-ID / CSX resonant_scattering and 4-ID / 8-ID diffraction Methods; doubly deferred because the diffractometer is absent from source (DIFF-1).
