Description

At the moment, wheel slots are automatically added when a WheelSlot capability with specified slotNumber references it. This somewhat works, but also poses some problems:

  1. Unused wheel slots are not removed
  2. Wheels must have the same name as the channel containing the WheelSlot capabilities (not a problem now, but will become problematic when editing)
  3. Other channels referencing an existing wheel (like Wheel Slot Rotation) cannot specify the exact wheel, so the fixture test always fails

Research direction

Start by locating the fixture test and the code that handles WheelSlot capabilities and slotNumber references. Trace how unused wheel slots, wheel names, and references from Wheel Slot Rotation are currently resolved. Done means the fixture test passes and all three listed wheel-handling problems are addressed.
