Need to add details about what we need to achieve on MagAO-X to demonstrate comparable capabilities for GMagAO-X

To meet contrast goals, we need to perform high-quality wavefront sensing and control in the coronagraph loop. LOWFS and CLOWFS methods have been demonstrated and are used routinely. The next big development we need is the implementation of EFC, which was demonstrated on-sky during a MagAO-X run in March 2024. It needs to be improved upon to achieve target contrast goals.
