This commit removes the _calculate_self_scattering_correction function in
polaris_algs that is now covered by the CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection algorithm.

Re #27445

This commit creates unittests for MergeWorkspacesWithLimits

This commit changes ConjoinWorkspaces in MergeWorkspacesWithLimits to use
CheckOverlapping=False to stop tests failing when workspaces in group do not have unique spectra numbers

Re #27445

This commit creates a documentation rst file for CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection
Along with the workflow diagram dot file. It also makes changes to the
CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection algorithm to include a name and version that
is required by the documentation compiler.

this commit add periods to the end of each set in the sub algorithm list in
MergeWorkspaceWithLimits.

this commit corrects copyright dates in the CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection and
MergeWorkspacesWithLimits algorithms.

Re #27445

This commit creates a documentation rst file for MergeWorkspacesWithLimits
Along with the workflow diagram dot file. It also makes changes to the
MergeWorkspacesWithLimits algorithm to include a name and version that
is required by the documentation compiler.

This commit corrects a mistake in the property names for
CalcuateSelfScatteringCorrection.

This commit removes the commented out command to the
_merge_workspaces_with_limits function in polaris_algs in place of the workflow
algorithm.

This commit creates a blank rst file that will later contain the documentation for
CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection.

Re #27445

This commit creates a workflow algorithm named MergeWorkspacesWithLimits
that handles the merging of the focused workspaces in the polaris scripts.

This commit removes a duplicated _load_qlims function in polaris_algs mistakenly added in commit 4c588e.

This commit adds a black line at the end of the CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection algorithm.

Re #27445

This commit creates a workflow algorithm named CalculateSelfScatteringCorrection
that handles the calculate of the placzek self scattering correction to be subtracted
from the focused data in the polaris scripts.

Re #27445

This commit fixes missed line that would allow the index for the max range spectra
to be updated

Re #27444

This commit moves the code for reading the supplies q limits into its own function.
This also fixes a bug that cause an error when trying to read a lim file path that is in
a unicode format.

Re #27444

This commit adds to the lease notes that the fix for the bug that raised an error when a unicode string was given as a lim file directory has been fixed.

This commit adds to the lease notes that the match spectra in merging workspaces no longer matches by scale.

Re #27444

This commit adds release notes for the changes made in this PR.

Re #27444

This commit adds a catch for if the workspaces or q_lims file have an infinite range

Re #27444

This commit fixes missed line that would allow the index for the max range spectra
to be updated

Re #27444

This commit moves the code for reading the supplies q limits into its own function.
This also fixes a bug that cause an error when trying to read a lim file path that is in
a unicode format.

Re #27444

This commit changes the previously hard coded index for matching spectra to
instead use the workspace with the larges range of x values as these produces the
smoothest match around the edges of the workspaces data.

Re #27444

This commit changes the usage of ConjoinSpectra to a loop using ConjoinWorkspace.
This is done because using ConjoinSpectra the focused workspace can have a
mismatch between specnumbers and index

Re #27444

Fix performance tests

V20 Fixes and changes for Streaming

Adds `hasAnyMaskedBins` on MatrixWorkspace

- Adds Python unit test for export
- Adds a `hasAnyMaskedBins` call in the MatrixWorkspace unit tests

EQSANS adjust detector bank position when loading the instrument

Rewrite the HB3A IDF

This changed at some point but the performance test
was not updated
Refs #27059

Confirmed with SNS (W. Zhou) that this is no
longer required. Usage stats confirm it has not been
used since 3.13 so no deprecation is required.
Refs #27059

Almost entire rewrite, simplfy everything. Use the det_trans log value instead of hard coded value. Remove all the cal:: values, the calibration will be set in the IDF. Correct the detector positions relative to the beam (centered on pixel (256, 268) and the calibrated detector gap of 5mm.

Make c++ interfaces not children of workbench

Change push_back to emplace_back where possible

All c++ interfaces in the indirect submenu are children of workbench so that only one instance of the settings menu can be made.

Fix issue with scripts containing unicode characters on unix systems

Handle point/binned numeric axes in workbench data table.

Scripts containing unicode characters could fail to run if mantid was
not started from the terminal on unix systems. The script runs fine
if this exception is caught and discarded.

Remove workbench from being a parent of cpp classes so they are minimized are raised correctly
Indirect settings is a special case and should remain as a child so it is treated as a separate case

Queries length of workspace to check if the axis is actually
bins or point values.
