BRINGUP: trim the top of next work

Limit-switch homing is its one sentence. Cameras holds only the
untested 8 MP sensor's questions; the emulator homing-image smoke moves
to the acceptance follow-through, where the tool work lives. The cloud
item closes as a status recitation: its facts live in CLOUD.md, and the
one open question rides the 8 MP first light. Items 4 and up move down
one.

until it lands).
2. **Cameras.** **First light on an 8 MP (OV8856) machine**: the
whole path is written but nothing has run on one, and only that hardware can
answer whether the 2-lane RAW8 full-resolution mode locks the D-PHY at
720 Mbps/lane and what exposure/gain the sensor wants; the details, the
reachable-mode reasoning and the factory fallback configuration are in
the headers of kernel patches 0011-0013 (`meta-glowforge-bsp`,
`recipes-kernel/linux/`). Lens shading (OmniVision LENC) is not a gap: the factory
rootfs carries `load_cam_regs.sh`, a loader that writes a register file
into the OV8856 driver's `regs` sysfs attribute (OV8858 `0x58xx`
addresses remapped to `0x59xx`), but nothing calls it; the app
references `/usr/bin/apply_cam_regs.sh`, which is not on the rootfs; the
OV5648 driver has no `regs` attribute; and this machine's `/data` holds
no register file. No shipped machine applies a per-unit shading table,
so ForgeFIRM owes none. Finally the deferred emulator
homing-image smoke, now that the emulator can be pointed at live snapshots.
3. **Cloud mode.** A print is no longer capped by the ring: the client holds
the compressed body, fills the ring before the button, and tops it up as it
plays, with the body bounded by `pulse_reject_threshold_bytes` because
memory is what that costs. A feed that wedges is caught by progress rather
than by ring depth (a healthy feeder keeps the ring brim-full, so depth
only falls an hour after the feed died): thirty seconds of no progress with
room in the ring stops the job cleanly and retraces, and it resumes if the
feed moves again. A running print also reports itself to the app again, on
the carrier a factory-session capture settled: the `type:"progress"` frame
that is the periodic settings report, every 30 s and at every phase change,
divided by the job's own length rather than by the kernel byte counter that
climbs all job long under a live feed. The `cloud.*` acceptance tests
cover all of it on the bench, a print longer than the ring fed from the
live service included, and the app has been watched reporting a print's
progress. `gfcloud.init` autostart with `controller_mode = cloud` is
validated on a flashed image, and the lid flash follows the action's
`LCfl`. What is left is tracked in
`python3-gfhardware/forgefirm-app/docs/CLOUD.md` "Outstanding items" and
is short: whether the service accepts an 8 MP machine's larger images (no
HD machine has been on the bench). The pulse header's envelope is
settled: every tag the service fills in is applied, passed through as a
limit that can only tighten, refused on, logged or declared ignored with
its reason (`CLOUD.md` "The pulse header"), and the gates behind it live
in the cooling engine so they hold in GRBL mode too. The memory guards
(`pulse_reject_threshold_bytes`, 128 MiB of compressed body) stay
reasoned rather than measured, by decision: nothing the service sends
comes near them, and every job logs the body and program sizes the
guards are reasoned from. The lifecycle keys (`CFrh`, `CCwp`, `CCrp`,
`CCup`) are settled as inert, in the factory too, so the configured
warm-up and rest on the factory's measured timings are the model, and
`CCbp`/`CCbt` are report-only tags that cannot appear in a header. The
four actions the service has never been seen to send were read out of
the factory binary: `user_image` is a lid capture and is implemented;
`update_check`, `factory_reset` and `head_firmware_update` each hand off
to a program this machine does not have (a factory updater, a reset
script, a head firmware push), so each is answered on the wire and none
is performed, and `focus` is ignored exactly as the factory ignores it.
Declined outright: SPKI pinning, emulator full-session parity, and the
factory's ten-event pause phase machine. Not inducible from the bench:
the cancel-with-a-rejected-`settings`-action case, a malformed frame
(needs a MITM), a body past the memory guard (the service has no such job
to send), and a wedged feed (a healthy machine will not stall on request).

drills cycle what the rail policy avoids: a module unload powers the 40 V
rail off (a stepper driver can come out of the power-up unserviceable),
and a forced defer needs the 40 V regulator or the SDMA device unbound
under the module's probe. This is a bench slot with the rail-cycle gamble
accepted, not a quick check.
