Added validation in config_loader to prevent bodies from starting too close
to their parent bodies (distance must be >= parent.radius + body.radius).
Changes:
- src/config_loader.cpp: Add parent-child distance validation before initialization
- tests/configs/earth_mars_simple.toml: Fix spacecraft position to LEO altitude
(Earth position + 6.571e6 m offset = 1.49606571e11 m)
- tests/test_invalid_parent_assignment.cpp: Update test 3 to use radius-based validation
- docs/mission_planning.md: Add TODO about spacecraft config pattern changes
Test results:
- Test 1: ✅ PASS (Earth no longer becomes child of spacecraft)
- Test 2: ✅ PASS (Mass hierarchy preserved)
- Test 3: ✅ PASS (Spacecraft at valid LEO position)
- Test 4: ❌ FAIL (mutual SOI bug, as expected)
This prevents the spacecraft initialization bug where Earth would incorrectly
become a child of the spacecraft due to distance=0.
Added comprehensive tests to capture parent-child relationship bugs:
- Test 1: Detect Earth becoming child of spacecraft (exact FIXME bug)
- Test 2: Validate mass hierarchy (massive bodies never have small parents)
- Test 3: Detect invalid config placeholder values (bodies at same position)
- Test 4: Mutual SOI edge case (similar-mass planets within SOI)
All tests fail as expected, documenting bugs for future fixes.
Tests 1-3 will pass after spacecraft separation fix.
Test 4 captures separate mutual SOI issue.
