Replace the step-band fan curve with a continuous linear ramp — the bands
flapped at edges (e.g. 45<->65%). Web-researched: linear + 2-3C hysteresis
is the homelab standard; PID is overkill for this slow thermal loop.
fan% now interpolates between env-tunable anchors:
COOL 50C/30% -> 83C/100% (~2.1%/C; ~51% at the ~60C equilibrium)
QUIET 68C/20% -> 83C/100% (near-silent until ~70C)
Both reach 100% at the 83C ceiling. Anti-oscillation: asymmetric
hysteresis (fc_decide) + a MIN_STEP (3%) min-change threshold.
41 bash tests green; deployed + verified live (59C -> 49%, smooth).

Document the HA-control feature shipped in 8beca1df: the daemon reads the
ha-sofia r730_fan_mode/manual_pct helpers, the 60-min auto-revert automation,
and the dashboard-it Server-view sensors + control tiles.

The iDRAC stock curve runs the CPU at ~72°C on the 7080 RPM floor even
under load (optimises for quiet, not cool). Add a bash daemon + systemd
unit that drives the chassis fans from CPU temp on two curves, picked by
garage occupancy (the server is in the garage): COOL when empty
(measured ~58-65°C under load), QUIET near the silent floor when the
ha-sofia garage door shows someone is there (open, or <15min since last
activity).
Manual fan mode is backstopped: bash EXIT trap + systemd ExecStopPost
hand fans back to Dell auto on stop/crash; CPU>=83°C or repeated IPMI
failures do the same. Pushgateway metrics (job=fan_control). 36 unit
tests cover the pure curve/hysteresis/presence/parse logic; DRY_RUN +
RUN_ONCE for integration checks. Deployed and verified on 192.168.1.127
(CPU 70->58°C in cool mode, hysteresis stepping confirmed).
