Record the bench proof on image 20260829190323 and the warm-loop flow check

CAMPAIGN-LOG: the three flowload t1 runs on the new image (judged rise
11.3, 11.1 and 11.8 C with the tube lit through most of each window, the
laser's share on the line), and Test 3, the flow check from a warm loop
(23.6 to 24.9 C baselines, 0 of 6 wrong, the 14.4 C limit 2.25 C above the
flow band and 3.67 C below the no-flow band).

flow_warm_validate.py takes the warm target and the warm-up budget as
arguments (defaults 28 C, 20 min), and the bench page passes them; the
warm-up still judges on the upstream sensor beside the heater, which is
why this run's baselines stopped near 25 C (BRINGUP item 1).

BRINGUP: item 1's open half is the loop above 25 C; item 22 holds what
remains of the flow check under load.

No catalog consequence: a bench tool's arguments and documentation; no
runtime behavior of the release image changes.

## 2026-08-29: image 20260829190323, the flow check under load on the bench
Pins forgefirm d577629 (grblHAL-glowforge a7dcdca, forgectrl 2f18b16),
both images built rc=0 from the committed trees, the dev image flashed by
the operator at 19:11. Three `flowload t1` runs from the installed drill,
each a prompt press with the tube lit for 58 to 63 percent of the check
window, the check opening 4 to 7 s after the fire (about 15 s after the
session open, from the fresh history):
| run | engine line | lit |
|---|---|---|
| 191517 | `verified (heater rise 11.3 C, dT 9.6 C; laser 0.8 off 12.0)` | 58 % |
| 192051 | `verified (heater rise 11.1 C, dT 9.4 C; laser 0.7 off 11.9)` | 63 % |
| 192439 | `verified (heater rise 11.8 C, dT 9.8 C; laser 0.7 off 12.5)` | 58 % |
The judged rise sits in the loop's dark band, 2.6 to 3.3 C under the
14.4 C limit, where the same conditions read 14.1 in the morning. The arm
sequence on the new driver was clean in every run (prompt, armed on the
press, `Pgm End` and the disarm at program end, the window closed with
the M2, all 55 lines queued at once). The power-good warning at the session
open persists (BRINGUP item 23). Board left idle, heater off, conf
restored, nothing under `/data`; records in `bench-data/`.
## 2026-08-29: the flow check from a warm loop (Test 3)
The plan's third test: the check's bands from a heater-warmed loop, the
tube dark, run from the bench page as the `flow-warm` takeover
(`flow_warm_validate.py 3`, forgectrl and the controller stopped for the
run and restarted on its exit), three checks with the pump on and three
with it commanded off, alternating, each from a fresh warm-up. The tool's
warm target reads the upstream sensor, which sits near the heater and
reaches 28 C within two minutes while the mixed bulk settles near 24.5, so
the baselines landed at 23.6 to 24.9 C rather than the 28 to 30 the plan
asked for; the tree's copy now takes the target and the warm-up budget as
arguments (defaults 28 C, 20 min, registered on the bench page), and a
warm-up judged on the mixed bulk is the follow-up.
| case | rises (C) | band |
|---|---|---|
| pump on | 11.54, 12.15, 11.78 | max 12.15 (cold data: 12.75) |
| pump off | 18.97, 18.70, 18.07 | min 18.07 (cold data: 16.04) |
Every verdict correct; the 14.4 C limit sits 2.25 C above the warm flow
band and 3.67 C below the warm no-flow band, a 5.9 C gap where the cold
data has 3.3. A warmer loop sheds the heater's heat no worse with the pump
on and holds it better with the pump off, so `cool_flow_rise` needs no
warm-end value through 25 C; above that is not measured. Records:
`bench-data/flow_warm_log_20260829.txt`, `flow_warm_results_20260829.json`.
