Tracker actuator step command: deadband uses clamped target · case 04

A tracker sitting just inside its stop hunts when the raw target is far outside the limits.

Case contract

Angles in millidegrees. The target is clamped to [lo, hi]. If |target - current| < deadband no move is made. Otherwise the move is limited to +-max_step, converted to whole motor steps of dps millidegrees truncated toward zero. Return [new position, signed steps].

Why this case matters

Single-axis and dual-axis solar trackers turn a sun direction into actuator commands; a sign, frame or limit mistake points a whole plant away from the sun or into a mechanical stop.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

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