Dawn and dusk parking positions: dawn parking side · case 05
At dawn the rows face west, away from the rising sun.
Case contract
sun_el < 0: [0.0, 'night']. 0 <= sun_el < wake_el: park facing the low sun, [-east_lim, 'dawn'] in the morning (am true) or [west_lim, 'dusk'] in the evening. Otherwise track the ideal angle clamped to the asymmetric limits [-east_lim, west_lim] ('track'). Angles are floats.
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 fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| boundary: sun exactly on horizon | [50.0, "dawn"] | [-50.0, "dawn"] | Failed |
