Rejected jump still advances the joint state · case 03

After a rejected waypoint the next target is judged against a pose the arm never reached.

Case contract

Input [l1,l2,q0,targets,maxjump]: planar 2R arm with continuous joints following a list of targets from joint state q0 (degrees). For each target compute the elbow +/- solutions; unreachable targets append "hold". Choose the solution with the smallest max wrapped joint change from the previous state; if that change exceeds maxjump append "jump" and keep the state. Otherwise unwrap the solution to lie within 180 of the previous angles, append it (3 decimals) and count a flip whenever the elbow sign differs from the last accepted one. Return [outputs, flips].

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.
