Accomplishments
Created a trial workflow for VBI Processing. All of the other instruments have trial workflows, and the VBO was the last to be accomplished. Trial workflows are pipeline runs that publish data that our scientists can see/analyze, but that won't make it to the portal.
Implemented DL -NIRSP IFU id array offset to current data. The DL FOV can drift slightly over time. This means that our IFU mapping/ID arrays can become out-of-sync with data taken long after these arrays were created. The solution is to implement a step in the pipeline that registers these IFU arrays to be aligned with the current dataset.
Updated dkist-fits-specifications to be compliant with SPEC-0122 revision K, which is the latest revision.
