Current gaps to track after the 2026-05-25 run:
- Science frames must not start unless Alpaca tracking is verified ON after slew and before exposure.
- Trailed frames/stacks must be rejected before photometry/AAVSO acceptance.
- Postflight should publish one solved/accepted stacked preview per object per night, not raw-frame preview spam.
- Need tighter proof that telescope is synced/on-target after slew: solve, nudge/sync, then expose.
- Stacking should be alignment-aware and must fail clearly when registration quality is poor.
- Dashboard/logs should expose tracking state, solve status, stack status, and reject reason per object.
Local/RPi hardening started with strict tracking and star-shape QC gates; this issue remains the umbrella for the remaining reliability work.
