These selectors will be expanded into fmriprep confound column sets.
FMRIPREP_MOT : rot_z,rot_x,rot_y,trans_z,trans_x,trans_y
FMRIPREP_MOT_P2 : MOT, each appended with '_power2'
FMRIPREP_MOT_DER : MOT, each appended with '_derivative1'

allow for space in execution directory, and other minor updates
21 Sep 2026, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 1 (MICRO), type 0 (GENERAL)
minor cleanup - fix find_block, more apply_uopt_to_block
04 Sep 2026, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 1 (MICRO), type 4 (BUG_FIX)
if results dir already exists, properly report any -out_dir
Thanks to S Francis for noting the problem.
02 Sep 2026, RC Reynolds, afni, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY)
default change: AFNI_SKIP_TCSV_SCAN defaults to YES
Now a recursive (maxdepth 4) search for CSV/TSV files will not happen
by default. It requires 'afni -yestcsv' or AFNI_SKIP_TCSV_SCAN=NO.
25 Aug 2026, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 1 (MICRO), type 5 (MODIFY)
no longer pass all_runs to @radial_correlate
25 Aug 2026, RC Reynolds, @radial_correlate, level 1 (MICRO), type 2 (NEW_OPT)
add yes/no option -do_detrend
By default, do not apply useless detrending to an errts dset.
But if -do_detrend is given, apply as specified.
24 Aug 2026, RC Reynolds, suma, level 3 (MAJOR), type 6 (ENHANCE)
(mostly from PL) update and merge in changes for BBox
24 Aug 2026, PD Lauren, suma, level 3 (MAJOR), type 6 (ENHANCE)
Add Box feature (paired with Alpha) to match that of afni.
Now 'A' (alpha) and 'B' (box) are similar to afni, with the new Box
feature used to outline thresholded/clustered voxels (though Alpha does
not currently work with clustering).
11 Jun 2026, RC Reynolds, 3dresample, level 1 (MICRO), type 6 (ENHANCE)
add specific alloc check for signed int overflow
Add more clarity to the life of C Walsh.
02 Jun 2026, RC Reynolds, 1d_tool.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX)
fix setting tr - forgot to check in the original update for it
Change original lib_afni1D:show_tpattern(), now require tr to be passed
if one wants to override the class default of 1.
26 May 2026, RC Reynolds, 1d_tool.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE)
allow for new slice timing patterns, alt+z_D and alt-z_D
Like alt+z, but generalized with a step of D slices, rather than just 2.
Note that alt+z == alt+z_2. There may be confusion with alt+z2, which
is different. Life is hard.
The same relationships hold between alt-z_D and alt-z.
Inspired by new data from D Handwerker.
18 May 2026, RC Reynolds, 3dCM, level 1 (MICRO), type 4 (BUG_FIX)
