Visual fit check: external mask outlines over greyscale (random P3 sample) #855

Description

@cailmdaley

Subtask of #845, split out from #850 per Mike's request, prompted by Ludo finding a case where the external galaxy mask did not look good.

Task: draw ~20 tiles or CCDs randomly from P3 that contain at least one manual galaxy mask region, and overlay just the galaxy-mask outline (no filled polygons) on the greyscale image, so we can judge how well the galaxy masks fit the galaxies they're meant to cover.

Plan:

  • Random sample over P3 tiles/CCDs, filtered to those with nonzero manual-galaxy-mask (bit 8) coverage.
  • One panel per tile/CCD: greyscale (zscale) with galaxy-mask boundaries drawn as thin contours.
  • Figures posted here via the same gist-hosted image pattern as the Old-vs-new mask comparison on real data (tiles + exposures) #850 dump.

Builds on the comparison machinery from #850 (healsparse reason-map queries per tile/CCD).
