Several ngmix-module options ship off by default, pending real-data evidence — the design contract is that production defaults flip here, on data, never in the implementing PR. Each sub-issue is one A/B question with a named metric and a named decider.
Current options awaiting a verdict:
The decisive statistics (B-modes, leakage) need real area, which is why this lives in the First run on data (Nibi) milestone: the A/B runs are consumers of the P3 footprint (#801, #808) — pipeline run twice (or more) with config variants only, matched catalogues compared through the sp_validation machinery. Complementary evidence from image simulations (calibrated m/c truth) rides UNIONS-WL/MultiBand_ImSim#1.
Methodology (area needed, patch choice, matched-object vs matched-area comparison) needs group design — to discuss on a tomography call before the runs are scheduled.
