...

1. SRDP spring release to promote new capability
2. Fall 2023
   1. heuristic extensions
   2. weblog cleanup
   3. facilitate use for manual imaging scenarios that require selfcal  - gain real world testing benchmarks
3. Fall 2024 - include in operational pipeline?

Necessary for SRDP release

...

1. Fix beam comparision ratios in per-solint stats
2. Print pre/post beam info in per-solint table
3. datatype awareness for hif_editimlist
4. need regcal and selfcal aggcont and cube images created and exported
5. Print pre/post beam info in per-solint table
6. skip mosaics implicitly
7. 3 digits past decimal for all values
8. Fix beam comparision ratios in per-solint stats

Post-SRDP Release (for Fall 2023)

...

• selfcal should reject pipeline mitigations internally
  • agg. cont self-calibration should use full image size and pixels per beam (model creation could be compromised otherwise)
  • perform self-calibration even for mitigated sources - extremely beneficial from archival point of view
• Implement low S/N and long baseline heuristics from PS (https://github.com/psheehan/auto_selfcal/tree/lbimprovements)
• Implement mosaic heuristics from PS (https://github.com/psheehan/auto_selfcal/tree/lbimprovements%2Bmosaics%2Bcocal)
• Possible improvement
  • uv-plane determination if a source is detectable in field of view
  • enable inclusion/exclusion in hif_selfcal

QA & messages

•  Fix and suppress some warnings
  • "channel bandwidths ratio?" => see

    is the result of averaging down to 15.625 MHz channels when there was pre-averaging
  • suppress representative target warnings
• main table:
  • solints to attempt - make the successful solints bolded
  • Mouseover text for success (define as: 'self-calibration solutions accepted for at least one solution interval')
  • Remove phasecenter, cellsize, and imsize from table
  • Remove the 'apply contline' and 'apply cont' columns
  • Add stop reason to table

main page and results table:

• the page nagivation navigation with expanding sections is not used anywhere else and will be very unfamiliar - some of it is better than what is used elsewhere, but either way we should be more consistent
  • at the very least the buttons that expand alternative sections should have little "v" down arrow, or something indicating that they'll expand.
    or more consistent with the rest of the weblog would be to put all that on a subpage.
  • AAK: I would suggest being consistent with the current hif_makeimages results pages and how they work. Otherwise people are just going to be very confused.
  • I would suggest source list at top with links to each source (again similar to current weblogs)Some preference for this to open a new page
• the weird 3-dot, 3-line symbol at the start of the line is that takes you back up to the top - probably just ditch that for now .or have explicit ('jump to top text')
• add mouseoverDistmouseover text to Dist./Ratio is not defined, and that plot needs explanatory textthat defines what this column is
• theoretical sensitivity should be plotted as filled, dark gray distribution rather than the horizontal bar, this will fix many issues with the current horizontal bartheoretical sensitivity doesn't show up on the plot sometimes, so putting it in the legend is not great.  Ok I found another one where its a horizontal bar - i feel like it should be a gaussian, or the theoretical noise distribution with the right sigma?  comparing a purple bar to a distribution doesn't seem quite right.
• success "yes" looks like a clickable link but it isn't
• down the line it would be good to figure out how to display the large table of numbers graphically - its a lot of numbers to digest.  Or as a first step highlight table cells that indicate something interesting or potentially troubling is hapenning
• the table rendering is joining columns that probably shouldn't be joined, like "rms improvement" and "ratio of beam area" when they're both 1.0
• need to add residual and possibly model images
• RAL: 'Comparison' is unclear as to what it is calculating, and units are odd
• RAL: 'N.F.' → 'Near Field' and similar abbreviations made more clear
• RAL: why is 'flagged solutions by antenna' blank?
• AAK: I would put stop reason higher
