Andrey's rulings 07/13/2026: data directories are not git-controlled; the
repo is shared across computers with different data sets, so it carries
code, generators and a heavily-commented TEMPLATE (linux-config style) -
everything data-specific lives under the data root:

- cases.list -> cases.list.tmpl (tracked; install by copying to
  <dataRoot>/lists/cases.list next to the scene lists; SET listFile may
  then be a bare filename - resolved relative to the manifest's directory).
- /cases.list gitignored: optional repo-local symlink into the data root
  so a bare ./run_cases.sh works.
- run_cases.sh: manifest lookup order -c arg -> ./cases.list link ->
  via -x/-l through the scene list's rootDirectory (<root>/lists/,
  <root>/, next to the scene list). -x corr-xml alone now finds
  everything (list, version, manifest) from the entries the Java run uses.

Verified live: installed at /home/elphel/lwir16-proc/LV/lists/cases.list;
bare run ALL PASS via the symlink; -x corr-xml discovery ALL resolved with
the symlink removed.
