Description
Expected Behavior
Hutch user should get exactly which objects they want and none (or few) extra
Current Behavior
Hutch user currently gets all hutch devices plus all upstream devices based on the lightpath
Possible Solution
- config/cli option (
--no-upstream?--no-lightpath?) - more precise config control (
--beamlines xpp lfe,--ignore xpp)
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
- Open a session in e.g. mec who is very far downstream
Context
Does MEC need to see LODCM errors? I don't think they care.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Hutch loads devices from the upstream lightpath and how existing CLI or configuration options are handled. Define the supported selection and ignore behavior, then verify that a Hutch user receives the requested devices without unwanted upstream devices.
