Controls

The control plane the beamline runs on, and the seam CORA's edge conducts over. Control plane: EPICS + MXCuBE3.

MANACA runs on the Sirius control stack: EPICS at the device-IO floor, with MXCuBE3 / MXCuBE Web as the MX experiment UI driving the goniometer, detector, and sample changer. Sirius has named Bluesky / Ophyd (the LNLS "sophys" family) as a facility orchestration direction (its MOGNO sibling records the same migration question), but whether MANACA runs it is not public (ORCH-1). No public per-beamline PV manifest is published, so the EPICS handles are not bound here, carried pending staff verification (CTRL-1); when bound they would be modelled as opaque edge handles over the ControlPort. The rotation-MX acquisition (the oscillation, the detector triggering, the sample-changer load / centre / collect loop) runs through MXCuBE and the beamline orchestration layer; that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge replaces or drives through, conducting over the EPICS floor rather than owning it. The detector file-writing to the Sirius data store is plumbing CORA observes, not data it owns (see model.md).
