jensandClaude Sonnet 4.6 b3923fb1c0 fix: smooth HOLD→HEAT power transition (bumpless transfer + cascade timing)
Two root causes for the visible power dip at every ramp-to-ramp
step boundary:

1. One-tick cascade delay: heatrate_soll was computed from
   pid_hold.get_y() before pid_hold.process() ran in that tick,
   so the first tick of a new ramp used the stale hold-phase
   output (≈0) as the rate setpoint, driving pid_heat to near
   zero.  Fix: move heatrate_soll computation inside process_pid(),
   after pid_hold.process().

2. Cold-start reset: pid_heat.reset() at HOLD→HEAT discarded
   the hold-phase integral, so pid_heat had to ramp up from
   zero on every new step.  Fix: remove the reset (bumpless
   transfer) — the hold-phase integral is a warm starting point
   that carries the baseline hold power into the new ramp.

Together these eliminate the ~1s dip to near-zero and replace
the slow 20–30s integral ramp-up with an immediate start at
roughly hold-level power, climbing monotonically to the target.
