Hosam-Eldin Mostafa afd9da8206 docs: hardware test infrastructure, session-managed PSU, settle-then-validate
Documents the new layers introduced over the past several commits.

- docs/19_frame_io_and_alm_helpers.md (new): full reference for the
  FrameIO and AlmTester helpers — three access levels (high/mid/low),
  full API tables, fixture wiring, cookbook patterns, and §7
  describing the four-phase SETUP/PROCEDURE/ASSERT/TEARDOWN test
  pattern with the three template flavors plus a §7.4 link to the
  PSU+LIN template.

- docs/14_power_supply.md: rewritten and expanded.
    §3 cross-platform port resolution (Windows / WSL1 / WSL2 +
       usbipd-win / Linux native compatibility table)
    §4 auto-detection via idn_substr
    §5 session-managed power: contract for tests, must-not list,
       what changed in the existing tests
    §6 the settle-then-validate pattern: two-delays table (PSU
       bench-dependent vs ECU firmware-dependent), copy-paste
       example, tuning guidance for ECU_VALIDATION_TIME_S
    §6 PSU settling characterization (-m psu_settling)
    §7 library API reference table + safe_off_on_close
    §9 troubleshooting expanded with WSL2 usbipd-win + dialout

- docs/18_test_catalog.md: voltage-tolerance section refreshed for
  the settle-then-validate shape, new "Hardware – PSU settling
  (opt-in)" category, new §8 "Hardware-test infrastructure"
  documenting conftest.py, frame_io.py, alm_helpers.py,
  psu_helpers.py, and both templates.

- docs/05_architecture_overview.md: components list split into
  framework core / hardware test layer / artifacts. Mermaid diagram
  gained a Hardware-test helpers subgraph showing FrameIO,
  AlmTester, rgb_to_pwm, and the templates. Data/control flow
  summary describes the session-managed PSU and the helper layer.

- docs/15_report_properties_cheatsheet.md: PSU section split into
  per-test (function-scoped rp) and module-scoped (testsuite
  property) blocks; added psu_resolved_port, psu_resolved_idn,
  psu_settled_s, validation_time_s.

- docs/README.md: links to the new doc 19.

- README.md, TESTING_FRAMEWORK_GUIDE.md: project-structure trees
  expanded to show the full current layout — every file and
  directory under tests/hardware/ (conftest, helpers, templates,
  tests), tests/unit/, config/, docs/, scripts/, and vendor/.

# Report properties cheatsheet (record_property / rp)
Use these standardized keys when calling `record_property("key", value)` or the `rp("key", value)` helper.
This keeps reports consistent and easy to scan across suites.
## General
- test_phase: setup | call | teardown (if you want to distinguish)
- environment: local | ci | lab
- config_source: defaults | file | env | env+overrides (already used in unit tests)
## LIN (common)
- lin_type: mock | mum | babylin (babylin is deprecated)
- tx_id: hex string or int (e.g., "0x12")
- tx_data: list of ints (bytes)
- rx_present: bool
- rx_id: hex string or int
- rx_data: list of ints
- timeout_s: float seconds
## BabyLIN specifics (DEPRECATED)
- sdf_path: string
- schedule_nr: int
- receive_result: frame | timeout
- wrapper: mock_bl | _MockBytesOnly | real (for future)
## Mock-specific
- expected_data: list of ints
## Power supply (PSU)
Per-test (function-scoped `rp`):
- psu_idn: string from `*IDN?`
- output_status_before: string ('ON'/'OFF'/'1'/'0'; raw `output?` response)
- output_status_after: string (same, after the test toggled output)
- set_voltage: float (V)
- set_current: float (A)
- measured_voltage: float | None (V) — parsed via `measure_voltage_v()`
- measured_current: float | None (A) — parsed via `measure_current_a()`
Module-scoped (testsuite property — emitted once per file by the `psu` fixture):
- psu_resolved_port: string — the port `resolve_port` actually opened (e.g. `'COM7'`, `'/dev/ttyS6'`, `'/dev/ttyUSB0'`)
- psu_resolved_idn: string — the IDN response captured during resolution
## Flashing
- hex_path: string
- sent_count: int (frames sent by stub/mock)
- flash_result: ok | fail (for future real flashing)
## Configuration highlights
- interface_type: mock | mum | babylin (babylin is deprecated)
- interface_channel: int
- flash_enabled: bool
## Tips
- Prefer simple, lowercase snake_case keys
- Use lists for byte arrays so they render clearly in JSON and HTML
- Log both expected and actual when asserting patterns (e.g., deterministic responses)
- Keep units in the key name when helpful (voltage/current include V/A in the name)
