Cover both dose models explicitly now that density is the default

grblHAL-glowforge 03d70e0, pinned here, makes density the shipped model
and $35 the density floor at 10. Every analog session in the stream
harness now selects its model rather than inheriting it: without that the
flip would have quietly turned them into density runs and taken the
analog fallback's coverage with them. laser.power-floor carries the new
floor and its PWMSAR minimum, and its description no longer describes
$35 as a duty floor.

All ten stream sessions pass on the new defaults, with the analog duties
shifting exactly as the floor predicts - min_value 12, gradient 0.115 -
along with both C harnesses and the lifecycle harness.

Recorded in BRINGUP and the campaign log, including what the defaults
rest on and what they do not: the seven ladders ran at F300 and F100 at
constant power, so production feeds, M4 into corners and the raster path
remain unproven on hardware.

+machine runs the model and a commanded 1 % marks. The analog path stays as an
+explicit `laser_power_model = analog`.

+The two settings are coupled and the pairing matters: `$35` is a **density**
+floor under the shipped model and a **duty** floor under the fallback, wanting
+~10 and ~16 respectively, and the wrong pairing is a dead band in either

+where the bottom of the S range asks for pulses too far apart to re-strike,
+and a sub-lasing floor under analog.

+explicitly rather than inheriting it, or the flip would have silently turned
+them into density runs and taken the analog fallback's coverage with them.
+`laser_arm_test` asserts the inverse of what it used to — no config key now
+means density — and `laser.power-floor` carries the new floor and its
+PWMSAR minimum. All ten stream sessions, both C harnesses and the lifecycle
