Seed Table

Use this section when setup tracking should write seed_alpha.dat into each kc_* directory.

Key Type Default Description
enabled bool false Enable seed-table generation during tracking setup
source_file str \| null null Optional source contour file; default auto-detects from tracking inputs
n_seeds int 12 Number of seeds written per detected ridge
min_growth float 0.0 Minimum growth level required before a station contributes a seed
gate_tol float 0.05 Ridge-matching tolerance passed to the tracker
min_valid int 5 Minimum stations a ridge must span before acceptance
smooth_passes int 0 Optional smoothing passes before ridge detection
gate_by_keep_mask bool true Reject off-ridge candidate seeds with the keep-mask filter
x_range list[float] [] Optional streamwise clipping window for seed selection
f_range list[float] [] Optional frequency clipping window for seed selection
threshold float 0.15 Solver-side override radius in normalized (x, f) space
output_file str "seed_alpha.dat" Output filename written into each tracking case

Enable this section only when tracking should use generated seed tables instead of the standard initial-guess flow.
