Description

Now that we are computing both beam center and direct beam fully with Scipp, and that we use the upper-bound method when broadcasting, we should put the uncertainties back into the operations.

There is still some uncertainty on how to proceed when we resample the direct beam to a different wavelength resolution.

Research direction

Start by locating the Scipp operations that compute the beam center and direct beam, then review how the upper-bound broadcasting method handles uncertainties. Investigate the unresolved case where the direct beam is resampled to a different wavelength resolution; done means uncertainties are restored consistently and that resampling behavior has an agreed implementation.
