test(pshb): secondary-waveform shape gate replicating PshbWizard.vue
PshbWizard.vue's "Help me with the design" mode historically passed desiredTurnsRatios = Vin/Vout to MKF — the *full-bridge* formula. A half-bridge primary only sees ±Vin/2 (DC-blocking cap mid-point sits at Vin/2), so the reflected secondary peak with n = Vin/Vout was Vin/(2·n) = Vin/(2·Vin/Vout) = Vout/2 — *below* Vout, so the rectifier diodes never forward-biased and the secondary current dropped to ~2 % of nominal (0.37 A on a 16.7 A design). The frontend plot looked "like crap". No existing MKF test caught this because every PSHB scenario either let MKF compute n internally (via Pshb::process_design_requirements, which iterates with compute_turns_ratio(Vin/2, Vout, ...) using the correct half-bridge factor) or hardcoded a physically sensible n (22.0 in Test_AdvancedPshb_Process, 13-25 in the PtP scenarios). None tested what happens when a caller deliberately supplies the wrong n. This test replays PshbWizard.vue.buildParams() verbatim and asserts: (1) secondary |V|peak exceeds 1.3·Vout (headroom for diode forward-bias) — would catch the n=33.33 bug, where peak was 6 V vs 15.6 V gate. (2) secondary |I|peak ≥ 0.2·Iout — well above the 2 % bug, well below the ~30-50 % steady-state value we see post-fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
