MagnetismReflectometryReduction is 859 LOC of Python (not C++), which
has practical consequences for the hackathon: it can be read,
patched, and debugged without a Mantid build. This new doc walks its
PyExec flow, the 53 properties, the two Q-binning paths (constant-Q
vs TOF), process_data as the reusable primitive, and the resolution
model (slit-geometry-based).
It also covers the supporting MR Python algorithms (MRFilterCrossSections,
MRInspectData, MRGetTheta), the single C++ dependency (RefRoi), and the
"Mantid adjacent" SingleReadoutDeadTimeCorrection registered by three
packages simultaneously.
Surfaces concrete hackathon findings grounded in the Mantid source:
- MR Python algorithms have ZERO commits between Mantid 6.14 and HEAD,
so the pin mismatch is a packaging decision, not a reduction-math
decision.
- quicknxsv2 and mr_reduction pass different defaults for
ErrorWeightedBackground, CropFirstAndLastPoints, RoundUpPixel,
AcceptNullReflectivity, UseSANGLE - each scientifically meaningful.
- QuickNXS compat post-scaling is always applied in quicknxsv2,
conditionally in mr_reduction.
- A canonical DataInfo already exists inside Mantid as
MRInspectData.DataInfo; both consumer copies could potentially be
replaced with a shim that reads the sample logs Mantid writes.
