Description

bootcalib wavelength solution sometimes fails for some fibers, this is fixed in bootcalib when writing the psf by finding outliers and interpolating with nearest fibers solution.
- we should add warnings in the code and also create a fibermask HDU to keep a trace of those failures.
- specex, extraction, and the rest of the pipeline should propagate this (with possibly more flags)
- will need to update datamodel accordingly

Research direction

Start by tracing the bootcalib PSF-writing path, then follow how specex, extraction, frame, and cframe exchange data. Review the datamodel before deciding where the fibermask HDU and additional flags belong. Done means failed fibers generate warnings, their mask is written, and the information is propagated through the named pipeline stages.
