Description
Issue JP-3730 was created on JIRA by David Law:
Per discussion on ticket https://jira.stsci.edu/browse/JP-3719, I'd missed that recent work refactoring the memory management within the outlier detection step ([https://github.com//pull/8613]) had disabled the creation of blot files as optional intermediate-stage outputs.
From discussion at the Sep 4 JP meeting and consultation with some key folks from the instrument teams, it sounds like we would like to retain the ability to produce such output files as optional intermediate outputs as they have appreciable scientific and testing utility. Apologies for missing this during the initial discussion- hopefully adding them back in will not impact the memory savings significantly.
