Oleksandr ShyshatskyiandClaude Opus 5 42d876d5eb The auto-PA sweep is host code; only the per-line verdict is in the eBoard
firmwareExe runs a real PA calibration at print start, inside the nozzle clean.
CommMgr::paTestMgr @0x791640 prints one slow-fast-slow line per candidate at
Y = 50 + 5*i for seven fixed PA values, asks the eBoard to score each line, keeps
the smallest that scores 9, repeats until three sweeps have produced a winner and
averages those three. All of that is host code and is recovered here in full.

Only the verdict crosses into the closed toolhead MCU, over two commands that
pa_adjust.py already forwards -- and pa_adjust.py is in our tree byte-identical
to FlashForge's, with [pa_adjust] already in printer.base.cfg. So PA_ACTION and
PA_GET should answer on a Reforge machine today; that is step one of the port.

This supersedes "sensor unknown" in 60-background.md and "callable, not
reproducible" in 25-app-vs-klipper-ownership.md. What stays unknown is narrower:
which sensor the eBoard samples, what ACTION=11 and PC=666 select, and what the
non-9 verdicts mean.

Two findings that shape the port. PA_GET only respond_info()s its value, so the
sweep cannot be a G-code macro -- it needs an extra that queries the eBoard
directly. And PA_ACTION is an immediate MCU command, so FlashForge never
synchronises the measurement window with motion; the port must copy that timing
rather than improve it.
