Elbow-up and elbow-down requests return swapped branches · case 04

Asking for elbow up yields a negative q2 and elbow down a positive one.

Case contract

Input [l1,l2,px,py,elbow] with positive link lengths. Return [q1,q2] in degrees (4 decimals) for a planar two-link arm whose end effector reaches (px,py); elbow "up" gives q2>=0, "down" gives q2<=0; q1 is wrapped to [-180,180). Points outside the annulus |l1-l2|<=r<=l1+l2 (1e-9 slack on r squared) return "unreachable".

Why this case matters

Inverse kinematics code turns task-space goals into joint commands; a wrong branch, sign, limit or update order sends a real arm to the wrong pose.
