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

SIX runs on the NSLS-II EPICS / ophyd control stack, the same floor as FXI, HXN, and BMM. The device handles above are bound from the beamline's bluesky profile collection (NSLS2/six-profile-collection), carried confirm pending staff verification (CTRL-1). The RIXS acquisition (energy moves, the alignment scans, the spectrometer geometry moves) runs through bluesky plans and the queue server (41-custom-plans.py, 43-alignment_scans.py, 97-standard-plans.py); that orchestration is the seam CORA's edge replaces, driving through ophyd/EPICS, while the RIXSCam HDF5 file-writing to the NSLS-II filestore is plumbing CORA observes, not data it owns (see model.md).
