fix(cmc): analytical voltage waveform must lead current by 90 degrees

AlfVII · AlfVII · commit 033a5f8e8c0d · 2026-05-18T14:33:58.000+02:00
Inputs::create_waveform now accepts an optional phase (radians) argument
applied to SINUSOIDAL waveforms only (default 0, backward compatible).
CommonModeChoke's analytical path passes pi/2 for the voltage so the
ideal-inductor relation V = L * dI / dt is honoured: if I = Ipeak*sin(wt)
then V = L*w*Ipeak*cos(wt), leading I by 90 degrees.

Previously both V and I were emitted as sin(wt) with no phase offset,
which disagreed with the simulated (ngspice) path and was unphysical
for a pure inductor. A new regression SECTION in
Test_Cmc_AnalyticalVsSimulated_WaveformShapeEquality locks the 90 deg
lead in place by checking peak-index separation on the analytical
samples.

Also updated the 3-winding section of
Test_Cmc_AnalyticalVsSimulated_CurrentConsistency to scale iCmPeak by
V_mains / 230 V, matching the cmExcitationScaling factor introduced
upstream so the assertion stays meaningful at non-default mains voltage.
