With the knowledge and statistical power of over a decade and a half of measurements, the Auger Collaboration has developed, assessed, and refined robust methods for reconstructing the energies and arrival directions of the highest-energy cosmic rays from the signal and timing measurements of its surface detector array. Concurrently, the unearthing of an increasingly complex astrophysical scenario and tensions with hadronic interaction models have demanded the addition of primary mass as an observable measurable using the surface detector. Access to information on the mass hinges on the disentanglement of the electromagnetic and muonic components of extensive air showers. Consequently, an upgrade to the Observatory, AugerPrime, is being carried out by equipping existing water-Cherenkov stations with a 3.8 m2 Scintillator Surface Detector (SSD).
