photom 0.1.0

Rust library for loading, structuring and querying astronomical observation datasets — with trajectory grouping, multi-observer support, and efficient lookups.

// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Serde support for ObserverDataset
// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// `ObserverDataset` cannot use a derived `Serialize`/`Deserialize` because the
// `mpc_observers` field is a `OnceLock` wrapping a network-fetched cache.
// We therefore use a lightweight proxy struct that captures only the two
// *persistent* fields and reconstruct `ObserverDataset` on deserialisation by
// calling `ObserverDataset::new`, which initialises a fresh (empty) `OnceLock`.

use crate::observer::{Observer, dataset::ObserverDataset, error_model::ObsErrorModel};

/// Serialisable proxy for [`ObserverDataset`].
///
/// Only the two persistent fields are stored:
/// - `custom_observers` — geodetic observer sites supplied by the caller.
/// - `mpc_error_model`  — astrometric error-model variant used when the MPC
///   catalogue is lazily loaded.
///
/// The MPC network cache (`mpc_observers`) is **not** serialised; it is
/// re-initialised as an empty [`OnceLock`] on deserialisation, and the MPC
/// table will be fetched from the network again on the first access.
