    """Brighter-fatter effect correction-kernel calculation task.
 
    A command line task for calculating the brighter-fatter correction
    kernel from pairs of flat-field images (with the same exposure length).
 
    The following operations are performed:
 
    - The configurable isr task is called, which unpersists and assembles the
      raw images, and performs the selected instrument signature removal tasks.
      For the purpose of brighter-fatter coefficient calculation is it
      essential that certain components of isr are *not* performed, and
      recommended that certain others are. The task checks the selected isr
      configuration before it is run, and if forbidden components have been
      selected task will raise, and if recommended ones have not been selected,
      warnings are logged.
 
    - The gain of the each amplifier in the detector is calculated using
      the photon transfer curve (PTC) method and used to correct the images
      so that all calculations are done in units of electrons, and so that the
      level across amplifier boundaries is continuous.
      Outliers in the PTC are iteratively rejected
      before fitting, with the nSigma rejection level set by
      config.nSigmaClipRegression. Individual pixels are ignored in the input
      images the image based on config.nSigmaClipGainCalc.
 
    - Each image is then cross-correlated with the one it's paired with
      (with the pairing defined by the --visit-pairs command line argument),
      which is done either the whole-image to whole-image,
      or amplifier-by-amplifier, depending on config.level.
 
    - Once the cross-correlations have been calculated for each visit pair,
      these are used to generate the correction kernel.
      The maximum lag used, in pixels, and hence the size of the half-size
      of the kernel generated, is given by config.maxLag,
      i.e. a value of 10 will result in a kernel of size 2n-1 = 19x19 pixels.
      Outlier values in these cross-correlations are rejected by using a
      pixel-wise sigma-clipped thresholding to each cross-correlation in
      the visit-pairs-length stack of cross-correlations.
      The number of sigma clipped to is set by config.nSigmaClipKernelGen.
 
    - Once DM-15277 has been completed, a method will exist to calculate the
      empirical correction factor, config.biasCorr.
      TODO: DM-15277 update this part of the docstring once the ticket is done.

        Given a dataRef and list of flats of varying intensity,

        The config.fixPtcThroughOrigin option determines whether the iterative

    Parameters:
    -----------
    fluxLevels : `list` of `int`
        The mean flux levels at which to simulate.
        Nominal values might be something like [70000, 90000, 110000]
    imageShape : `tuple` of `int`
        The shape of the image array to simulate, nx by ny pixels.
    repeats : `int`, optional
        Number of repeats to perform so that results
        can be averaged to improve SNR.
    seed : `int`, optional
        The random seed to use for the Poisson points.
    addCorrelations : `bool`, optional
        Whether to add brighter-fatter-like correlations to the simulated images
        If true, a correlation between x_{i,j} and x_{i+1,j+1} is introduced
        by adding a*x_{i,j} to x_{i+1,j+1}
    correlationStrength : `float`, optional
        The strength of the correlations.
        This is the value of the coefficient `a` in the above definition.
    maxLag : `int`, optional
        The maximum lag to work to in pixels
    nSigmaClip : `float`, optional
        Number of sigma to clip to when calculating the sigma-clipped mean.
    border : `int`, optional
        Number of border pixels to mask
    logger : `lsst.log.Log`, optional
        Logger to use. Instantiated anew if not provided.
