ScottW514 84a231163a laser_lifecycle_test: a ^X during the web-service homing keeps the lens hold
Rule 18 (home-reset) sends a ^X during the web-service homing session
and reads what the reset leaves. The session runs with homing_mode =
gfcloud and a session command that sleeps (sleep 47.25, a command no
other process on the host runs), so the device is the session's for
as long as the rule wants it; Session drops GFSINK from the inherited
environment, which is what lets gfcloud_home_cmd run.

A reset during the session marks the position lost: the device is
the session's, and nothing is read back. Left set, the core's re-init
clears the homed mask, and the driver's Z-only hold with it, so a jog
after $X would move an unreferenced lens. The rule reads:

- before the session, a 1 mm Z jog is refused with error 15: the lens
  has no reference in this session, so it is held where it stands;
- $H reports Home and the session's command is running;
- the ^X 0.5 s later lands in Alarm with ALARM:6, the session's
  command is gone within 3 s, and the attribute log holds no new
  "cnc/stop 1": the device was the session's, so the stream owed the
  kernel no stop;
- $X recovers to Idle; the Z jog is refused with error 15 again and
  MPos Z has not moved;
- a program move G91 G1 Z1 F100 raises ALARM:2, the soft limit of the
  pinned lens; a ^X and $X then leave the controller Idle.

The verdicts are the error code, the alarm codes, MPos Z, the
attribute count and the process count; no log wording is judged.
Session gets mpos_z(), the Z of a status report, beside mpos_x().

The soft-limit alarm asks for a reset before $X unlocks it, and the
rule sends that ^X only once a status report has come from the
alarm's wait: a ^X on the heels of the ALARM line lands while the
soft limit's own reset is still pending and is folded into it.
Measured on the null sink, a ^X 0 ms or 20 ms after the ALARM line is
lost (the alarm's wait goes on, $X answers error 79) and one 100 ms
after it is taken. The '?' polls that wait for the reset banner keep
the controller's output flowing: in Alarm its protocol thread waits
up to 10 s for traffic before it drains its output.

Proof: python3 -m py_compile and pyflakes 4.0.3 are clean on
scripts/bench/laser_lifecycle_test.py. Against the null-sink build of
the grblHAL-glowforge default branch head, which carries "Stream
engine: a reset whose position stays lost pins the lens before the
core's re-init", configured as its CI configures it
(-DGFMCODE_WAIT_S=5.0), rule 18 passes 10 runs in 10 and the harness
passes whole, with no session command left running. Against the
build of that change's parent ("Stream engine: the step a reset owes
is taken only when the idle lands between interrupt callbacks") rule
18 fails 3 runs in 3, each at the Z jog after $X: the parent answers
ok and the lens moves to Z 1.027. The harness runs in
grblHAL-glowforge CI, step "Armed-window lifecycle" (python3
forgefirm/scripts/bench/laser_lifecycle_test.py
build/grblHAL_glowforge), from the head of this repository's default
branch: this commit is pushed before that driver change.

Acceptance: none. scripts/bench/ is outside every covers map.
