- When there is activity, this causes the master pipeline to never
finish. Not good.
- ip6 triggers cancel current pipeline too

Paying attention to following items:
* Overall parameterization -- will use for optimization
* Constant naming consistency
* Documentation via the comments
* Added new ci job which concatenates all the `<comment>` tags into `docs/detector.md`
* All comments should now be formatted to fit the appropriate section in the markdown file.

Needs to be changed when we fix the ACTS issues.
