### extractors/zernike_legacy/ (2024-12-28)
**Replaced by:** `extract_zernike_opd.py` (ZernikeOPDExtractor)
**Reason:** The OPD method provides more accurate wavefront error calculations by:
- Using optical path difference (OPD) directly instead of surface displacement
- Proper handling of relative subcase comparisons
- Better numerical stability for high-order Zernike modes
**Archived files:**
| File | Original Class | Description |
|------|----------------|-------------|
| `extract_zernike.py` | `ZernikeExtractor` | Original displacement-based Zernike |
| `extract_zernike_surface.py` | `ZernikeSurfaceExtractor` | Surface-normal projection variant |
| `extract_zernike_figure.py` | `ZernikeFigureExtractor` | Figure error variant |
**To restore:** Copy files back to `optimization_engine/extractors/` and update `__init__.py`
