FABRIK reports the pass budget instead of the tip error · case 02

A solve that converges on its final allowed pass is reported as "max-iterations".

Case contract

Input [points, target, tol, iters]: planar joint positions from base to tip. Link lengths come from the initial points. If the base-to-target distance exceeds the total length, stretch every link toward the target and return ["unreachable", points]. Otherwise run FABRIK passes (tip to target and backward, base re-anchored, forward) while the tip is farther than tol and fewer than iters passes ran; return [status, passes, points] with status "reached" when the final tip error <= tol else "max-iterations"; coordinates rounded to 4 places.

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.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
single link one pass	`["max-iterations", 1, [[0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 2.0]]]`	`["reached", 1, [[0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 2.0]]]`	Failed
