The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS / bluesky.

IXS runs on the NSLS-II EPICS / ophyd control stack, the same floor as FXI, HXN, BMM, SRX, SIX, and CHX. The device handles above are bound from the beamline's bluesky profile collection (NSLS2/ixs-profile-collection), carried confirm pending staff verification (CTRL-1). The IXS acquisition (the incident- energy scan, the six-circle Q moves, the analyzer alignment, the counting) runs through bluesky plans and the queue server (the startup 97-99 plans, the 98-alignment scans, the SPEC-derived macros); that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge replaces, driving through ophyd / EPICS, while the file-writing to the NSLS-II filestore is plumbing CORA observes, not data it owns (see model.md).
