     "   - As of CRDS context `jwst_1156.pmap` and later, the `pars-tweakreg` parameter reference file for NIRISS performs an absolute astrometric correction to GAIA data release 3 by default (i.e., the `abs_refcat` parameter is set to `GAIADR3`). Though this default correction generally improves results compared with not doing this alignment, it can sometimes result in poor performance in crowded or sparse fields, so users are encouraged to check astrometric accuracy and revisit this step if necessary.\n",
