Updates to Level-2b processing for all exposure modes include:
- Enabled application of the "filteroffset" correction for NIRCam and NIRISS imaging modes in the assign_wcs step
- The flat-field step has been updated to set DQ='DO_NOT_USE' for reference file pixels that have values of NaN or zero, as well as reference file pixels flagged as 'NO_FLAT'.
