Token rotated, pipeline should work again.

Looks like we need some help with this. Everything worked fine with eic_xl container, but the switch to eic_cl introduced strange issues. Could you take a look?

One of the jobs seems to be missing output files:

2026-02-11T15:42:36.549450Z 01E MissingOutputException in rule nhcal_dimuon_photoproduction_presimulate in file /builds/EIC/benchmarks/detector_benchmarks/benchmarks/nhcal_dimuon_photoproduction/Snakefile, line 1:
2026-02-11T15:42:36.549459Z 01E Job 1  completed successfully, but some output files are missing. Missing files after 5 seconds. This might be due to filesystem latency. If that is the case, consider to increase the wait time with --latency-wait:

other issue may be related to the update of geometry. We added extra plastic slice in the front. Can it cause this error?

This is the piece of code that causes it:

        int actual_value = dec->get(cid, slice_idx);
        cerr << "slice_idx=" << slice_idx << " actual=" << actual_value 
            << " expected=" << plastic_slice_value << "\n";
        cerr << "types: actual=" << typeid(actual_value).name() 
            << " expected=" << typeid(plastic_slice_value).name() << "\n";
        cerr << "comparison: " << (actual_value != plastic_slice_value) << "\n";
        cerr << "hex: actual=0x" << hex << actual_value 
            << " expected=0x" << plastic_slice_value << dec << "\n";
        cerr << "type: " << typeid(dec->get(cid, slice_idx)).name() << "\n";
        if (actual_value != plastic_slice_value)
            throw runtime_error("cell is not plastic");

or this one:

try {
        if (!decoder) throw std::runtime_error("decoder==nullptr");
        if (decoder->get(cid, slice_index) != plastic_slice_value)
            throw std::runtime_error("cell is not plastic (slice mismatch)");
        return cellid_converter.position(cid).z();
    } catch (const std::exception& e) {
        cerr << "[WARN] getPlasticThicknessCM: " << e.what()
                << " (cellID=" << cid << ")\n";
        return std::numeric_limits<double>::quiet_NaN();;
    }
