"""Training shards: a compact, portable copy of the archive for the learned filler. The archive is 9.2 TB of tile-compressed FITS on a filesystem that cannot survive being walked repeatedly, and the machine that trains the model is a different machine on the other end of a gigabit link. So training does not read the archive. It reads *shards*: one file per (day, satellite) holding that day's frames at half resolution, which is small enough to ship and to re-read every epoch. Two decisions here are load-bearing. **Shards store clean frames only.** Corruption is applied on the fly during training (:mod:`suvi.corruptions`), which costs nothing in storage, gives unlimited variety rather than one frozen draw, and yields an exact ground-truth class label for the auxiliary head. Baking damage into the shards would fix the training distribution at extraction time and make every experiment downstream a re-extraction. **Pixels are stored as quantised ``asinh`` radiance.** Solar radiance is heavy-tailed -- a sample across bands and epochs runs from -3.7 to 1231 -- so linear uint16 would spend its whole range on the disc and quantise the corona to nothing. ``asinh(x/s)`` is linear below the knee `s` and logarithmic above it, which is what a signal that is mostly noise-floor with occasional flares needs. ``log1p``, the space ``fillers._for_flow`` uses, was the obvious first choice and is wrong here on two counts. It is effectively linear below 1, and almost every pixel is: median radiance is 0.004 to 0.19 depending on band. Quantising log1p over [0, 8] gives a 0.002 radiance pixel **6% error**, not the 0.05% the bright disc gets. And it cannot represent negative values at all, while 2-18% of pixels are negative after background subtraction -- clipping those to zero would bias the noise floor the model has to learn to reproduce. ``asinh`` holds ~0.05% relative across the whole range and is signed.
