Ian Bassi ca65f0fd8e Normalize the junction direction vector over XYZE (#15308)
* Normalize the junction direction vector over XYZE

calc_vmax_junction_deviation() treats the dot product of two jd_unit_vec as a
cosine, but the vectors were scaled by 1 / block.distance, which is the XYZ
length. On an extruding move the E component then pushes the 4D norm above 1 and
the dot product below -1, so the corner reads as straighter than it is and is
planned too fast -- the more so the higher the flow. Measured on a 6 degree
corner at scv 5: 86.9mm/s with no extrusion, 94.4mm/s at 0.029mm/mm, 150.0mm/s
at 0.1mm/mm.

Neither firmware does that. Marlin normalizes over XYZE for any extruding move
(planner.cpp: `if (... || esteps > 0) normalize_junction_vector(unit_vec)`) and
Klipper leaves E out of the cosine entirely, dotting only axes_r[0..2]
(toolhead.py::Move.calc_junction). Normalizing satisfies both: with E normalized
in, the cosine differs from the XYZ-only one by ~1e-5 at printing flow rates.

This is a deliberate divergence from PrusaSlicer, which still scales by
1 / distance -- it carries an older Marlin's behaviour.

Travel moves are unaffected, their vector was already unit length.

Reported by Copilot in review of #15304.

* Test that extrusion rate does not change corner planning

The junction deviation tests were all travel-only, which is exactly why the E
component of the junction vector went unchecked. Cover it: the same corner has
to be planned the same whether nothing, an ordinary 0.42 x 0.2 line, or a fat
large-nozzle line is extruded through it, on both Klipper and Marlin 2.

OrcaSlicer tests

Building, running and writing tests is documented on the wiki, under How to Test.

Two files here rather than there, because coding agents only read what is in the repository:

  • AGENTS.md is the same guidance in short form, and is what an agent working under tests/ picks up.
  • CATCH2.md is the Catch2 reference, including the mistakes that break a test at runtime.
