IDLE conflated two unrelated things: "controller disabled" and "needs
to cool, which this heat-only actuator fakes via zero output." Split
them apart:
- IDLE now means disabled only - the FSM forces it whenever
enabled=False, regardless of the temperature gap, and process_pid()
zeroes y for it same as before.
- New COOL state (mirroring HEAT) takes over the negative-diff case,
with its own pid_cool (separate "Cool" gains, alongside Hold/Heat)
instead of reusing pid_rate. Its output can legitimately be negative
- it's the actuator (tasks/heater.py's actor(), already max(0, ...))
that clamps it to 0 because *this* plant (Pot) can only heat. A
plant with real cooling capability could one day honor it directly.
- Thresholds renamed accordingly (HoldIdle->HoldCool, HeatIdle->
HeatCool, new CoolHold/CoolHeat); config.json/.sim/.templ and the
hand-rolled ctrl_params in scripts/demos/pid/ and demo_sud.py
updated with a "Cool" params section (mirrors "Heat" for now, since
there's no real cooling actuator to tune against yet).
Also fixes a regression in demo_sud.py/the other PID demos: none of
them ever called set_enabled(True), so since enabled defaults to
False they never drove the heater at all - only caught because this
change's demo_sud.py re-run got stuck in RAMPING forever.
