nook.repair

nook.repair(states, max_passes=50)

Correct transcription errors that the mass surface can confirm.

Returns the repaired survey and the list of changes. Repaired values are marked in NuclideSummary.repaired, so a figure or a downstream calculation can tell which numbers are no longer the file’s.

Candidates are considered only for values already participating in a loop that fails to close, and only one repair is accepted per pass – the one that closes the most loops. Errors cluster (eleven of ensdf.112’s Q records are wrong at once) so several passes are needed before the surviving failures can be attributed.

Nothing is repaired on the strength of looking wrong. If no loop constrains a value, it is left alone and remains flagged by inconsistencies().
