Docker (full stack with Mantid)

The Docker image uses pixi to install Mantid and lr_reduction from conda channels, then installs analyzer-tools via pip on top.

docker compose build
docker compose run analyzer bash          # interactive shell
docker compose run analyzer analyze-sample sample.yaml
docker compose run test                   # run the test suite

Output files appear on the host via volume mounts (data/, models/, reports/, results/).

Use Docker when you need the Mantid-based reduction tools (simple-reduction, eis-reduce-events); for analysis-only work, a local pip install -e ".[dev]" is faster.
