Okay that went wrong. I accidently sent the email before finishing it. Here is the overleaf link: https://www.overleaf.com/4661613744fbwcjjhfjgwn#91e901 The sub-WP leads will have the responsibility for their sections. I added some basic bullet points for each section. We can discuss these of course.

Dear all, Friendly reminder for our PCS WP2.3 meeting that will take place tomorrow from 10am to 11am (see zoom link below). Here is a tentative meeting plan: - Presentation from Jalo about fast & furious concept associated to RL. - Open discussion about best criteria to downselect the WS&C architectures we have discussed so far. - Discussion regarding the next steps toward the common WP2 SPIE proceedings, and beyond. See you there, Best, Axel Axel POTIER vous invite à une réunion Zoom programmée.

Hi all, I propose we should have our next general WP2 meeting on Friday May 8th at 10:00. Agenda: * Coordination of removing the pupil generating function for external collaborators. * Sebastiaan will present the first draft of the opto-mechanical volume envelope. * Current state of the coronagraph design call. * Current state of the wavefront sensing sub-group. * Set goals for SPIE and what we will put on the poster. Met vriendelijke groet / With kind regards, Dr. Sebastiaan Haffert Assistant professor Leiden Observatory, Leiden University Einsteinweg 55, 2333 CC, Leiden, The Netherlands

Hi Axel, Thanks for sharing the slides! A new variation around the sequential phase diversity / fast&furious concept, now using reinforcement learning, should be added to your list: https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.00993 I guess Jalo will be talking about that during our next meeting. The accepted paper only presents wavefront flattening, but FYI Jalo has already been able to dig dark holes with the same framework, by ‘just’ changing the reward. Regarding the asymmetric pupil WFS, you may want to add a ref to the Asymmetric Lyot Wavefront sensor (Orban de Xivry+2024), which shows that the concept can be extended to focal-plane phase mask coronagraphs.
