Damping is applied outside the singular zone · case 05

Well-conditioned poses get damped because (1-w/w0)^2 is positive for w>w0.

Case contract

Input [l1,l2,q1,q2,vx,vy,w0,lam0]: resolved-rate step for a planar 2R arm. Manipulability w=|l1 l2 sin q2|. Damping lam^2 = 0 when w>=w0, else lam0^2 (1-w/w0)^2. Solve (J^T J + lam^2 I) qdot = J^T v; if that matrix determinant is below 1e-12 return ["singular", w]. Return [status, qdot1, qdot2] in degrees per second, status "damped" when lam^2>0 else "exact".

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.
