**Notes:**
- The old `rendezvous` (CW guidance) module was removed entirely, eliminating 3 pre-existing test failures
- `test_maneuver_timing.cpp` was merged into `test_maneuver_planning.cpp`
- `rendezvous_hohmann` was renamed to `rendezvous` (CW module removed, only Hohmann remains)
- All 154 remaining test cases pass (240,445 assertions)
## Suggested Fixes for Burn Timing Quantization
@ -169,24 +174,48 @@ Based on Phase 2 & 3 results, recommend:
- Keep all other parameters constant (initial conditions, maneuver DVs, etc.)
- Use `WithinAbs()` with increasing margins to find the threshold that passes at each DT
## Next Session Context
## Completed Work
### Files Modified

- `tests/test_rendezvous_hohmann.cpp` - Updated integration test with DT=0.1
- `tests/test_rendezvous_hohmann.toml` - Reverted to original values
- `tests/test_rendezvous.cpp` (renamed from `test_rendezvous_hohmann.cpp` ) - Updated integration test with DT=0.1
- `tests/test_rendezvous.toml` (renamed from `test_rendezvous_hohmann.toml` ) - Reverted to original values
- `tests/test_maneuver_planning.cpp` - Added 3 burn timing quantization tests (merged from test_maneuver_timing.cpp)

- `tests/test_maneuver_timing.cpp` - New test file (to be merged into test_maneuver_planning.cpp)
- `Makefile` - Updated object file references
### Files Removed
- `src/rendezvous.h` (old CW module) - replaced by Hohmann-only rendezvous.h
- `src/rendezvous.cpp` (old CW module) - replaced by Hohmann-only rendezvous.cpp
- `tests/test_rendezvous.cpp` (old CW tests) - replaced by Hohmann-only test_rendezvous.cpp
- `tests/test_rendezvous.toml` (old CW config) - replaced by Hohmann-only test_rendezvous.toml
## Remaining Work
### Burn Timing Quantization (Optional - future)
1. **Option A** : Implement sub-step interpolation in `check_maneuver_trigger()` and `execute_pending_maneuvers()`
2. **Option B** : Snap trigger times to step boundaries in `calculate_next_hohmann_wait_time()`
3. **Option C** : Accept current behavior and set realistic thresholds based on DT
### Pre-existing Issues
- 3 rendezvous test cases failing (CW guidance related) - not related to this fix
### DT Sweep Tests (Optional - future)
Run the same Hohmann transfer test at increasing DT values to establish accuracy limits:
| DT | Expected Steps | Expected Separation |
|----|---------------|-------------------|
| 0.1s | ~628,000 | ~8.75 m |
| 0.5s | ~125,600 | ~40 m (estimate) |
| 1.0s | ~62,800 | ~55 m |
| 2.0s | ~31,400 | ~100-200 m (estimate) |
| 5.0s | ~12,560 | ~500 m (estimate) |
| 10.0s | ~6,280 | ~1,324 m |
| 30.0s | ~2,093 | ~4,000 m (estimate) |
### Remaining Work
1. Merge `test_maneuver_timing.cpp` into `test_maneuver_planning.cpp`
2. Implement burn timing quantization fix (Option A recommended)
3. Run DT sweep tests to understand accuracy limits
4. Update rendezvous thresholds based on DT analysis
### Threshold Recommendation
Based on DT sweep results, recommend:
- Maximum DT for rendezvous operations
- Separation threshold as a function of DT
- Whether sub-step interpolation is necessary for production use
