Research direction

Start by locating the existing elevation-based rotation restrictions in the HWP control code and reviewing how their interlocks are represented. Determine the relevant boresight-angle boundaries and identify where tests for rotation limits belong. Done means boresight-angle restrictions behave consistently with the existing elevation restrictions and are covered by tests.
