feat(flomni): add fermat_asymmetry (x/y spacing ratio) to Fermat scan
Implements docs/plans/flomni-fermat-asymmetry.md as written: generate the
spiral against an inflated fovy half-width (length_axis2 * fermat_asymmetry),
then compress the accepted y-coordinate back down by the ratio before
storing -- keeps x spacing fixed at step, scales y spacing by the ratio,
preserves the requested FOV. Composes with the already-landed sub-step
randomization: the offset is subtracted at the raw (pre-compression) scale
on both axes, before the inflated-window check, so the offset's phase-shift
stays proportional to the local spacing on both axes.

Wired through the scan class (FlomniFermatScan), Flomni's global var +
queue/CLI plumbing (_TOMO_SCAN_PARAM_NAMES, scan_kwargs, tomo_parameters()
print/prompt, _set_default_tomo_params()), and the tomo_params Qt widget
(new field with a "?" help button, following the widget's existing
offsets-section help-button pattern).

Added tests verifying the inflate/compress math directly (against an
equivalent call with an inflated FOV and fermat_asymmetry=1.0, same seed)
rather than via an approximate spacing-ratio heuristic -- a first attempt
at the latter proved too noisy on a Fermat spiral to assert reliably.
Updated the flOMNI user docs and the OMNY port TODO (out of scope here,
explicitly excludes LamNI per the plan).

Getting Started with Testing using pytest

BEC is using the pytest framework. It can be installed via

pip install pytest

in your python environment. We note that pytest is part of the optional-dependencies [dev] of the plugin package.

Introduction

Tests in this package should be stored in the tests directory. We suggest to sort tests of different submodules, i.e. scans or devices in the respective folder structure, and to folow a naming convention of <test_module_name.py>. It is mandatory for test files to begin with test_ for pytest to discover them.

To run all tests, navigate to the directory of the plugin from the command line, and run the command

pytest -v --random-order ./tests

Note, the python environment needs to be active. The additional arg -v allows pytest to run in verbose mode which provides more detailed information about the tests being run. The argument --random-order instructs pytest to run the tests in random order, which is the default in the CI pipelines.

Test examples

Writing tests can be quite specific for the given function. We recommend writing tests as isolated as possible, i.e. try to test single functions instead of full classes. A very useful class to enable isolated testing is MagicMock. In addition, we also recommend to take a look at the How-to guides from pytest.
