Description

The NeXus workflow loads source information from an NXsource group. The current BIFROST files (both written by Greg and CODA) don't contain such a group but use NXmoderator instead.

A moderator group contains different data than a source group. But it does have a position which is all we need in our current workflow. So we may want a way to use a moderator instead of a source.

Research direction

Locate the NeXus workflow that currently loads source information from an NXsource group, then inspect how BIFROST files expose the NXmoderator position. Verify the existing workflow with a representative BIFROST file and make completion mean that moderator position can be used when NXsource is absent without changing source-group behavior.
