run_batch_macros
Run an ordered list of macros sequentially, stopping on error or continuing to record failures. Useful for automating multi-step microscopy workflows.
Instructions
Run several macros in sequence. On failure, behavior depends on continue_on_error: either stop or record the error and continue. Each successful step returns the same shape as run_macro.
