April 2025: Delivered two key improvements in ess-dmsc-dram/dmsc-school to simplify and stabilize instrument configuration and notebook execution. First, introduced dynamic run_folder resolution for mcstas exercises and instrument initialization, eliminating the need to provide an explicit run_folder path when creating instruments in QENS and SANS notebooks. Commits: 821138b3a1be6f26c997dbe5021dacb465795632; 9b1ea45f12fa921aba42cd1232c38b30b8359ef0. Second, fixed a missing os import in mcstas-qens.ipynb and mcstas-sans.ipynb to ensure filesystem operations work reliably. Commit: e8f9598316372fefb8493f09f5e5f764aab85aa1. These changes reduce setup friction, improve robustness across contexts, and enhance notebook usability.
