Description

After shapepipe and sp_validation runs on image simulations, we want to perform some tests and diagnostics. Some are already implemented in cosmo_val, e.g. plots of the ellipticity distribution, footprint, additive bias computation, etc. How can we re-use the cosmo_val structure and classes? We have potentially many different output catalogues (e.g. 1<d>2<d>_<type>_<idx> with d=p, m, z (+,- or no shear); type=grid and random, idx a running number). Think about how to implement this, with or without the underlying yaml config.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing cosmo_val structure and classes, especially the ellipticity, footprint, and additive-bias diagnostics mentioned in the issue. Then examine how shapepipe and sp_validation produce the different output catalogue names and consider whether the yaml config is needed. Done means a defined, reusable approach for running these diagnostics across the listed image-simulation outputs.
