Accomplishments
L2 data includes 2 profile FITS files alongside the L2 output data. These contain the “Original Profile” - roughly equivalent to the L1 frame, and the “Fit Profile”, which, if the inversion is successful, is very close to the original. Completed the Inclusion of 4 HDUs in the FITS output, 2xWavelength for the Original and Fit Profiles.
As part of a general DC stack update to Pydantic 2, completed the upgrade to Pydantic 2 in the REST api's - These had a higher priority being both forward facing and known vulnerable to a documented ReDOS attack vector.
Refactored the CRYO NIRSP SP solar gain task to perform fringe correction based on a parameter.
Monitored and fixed issues arising during proposal submission window.
