— main analysis repo (R + Quarto). - Supporting QC work: grandQC_quality_study, HistoQC, PathProfiler.
How to contribute
- Clone
scan-time-in-real-lifeand reproduce the hour-of-day figure from the sample CSV. - Review the architecture diagram; flag any transfer step that isn’t instrumented.
- Propose one new figure or one new metric with a clear operational question it answers.
Pitfalls
- Scanner log timestamps are in local time with DST; the repo normalizes to UTC — don’t double-correct.
- Some “failed transfers” in the logs are benign retries. The analysis de-duplicates by
(scan_id, final_outcome); preserve that logic.
