The bring-up steps in docs/LOCAL_VISION.md contradicted themselves:

  1. Step 1: stop motion and confirm servo rail and torque are off.
  2. Step 2: use stackchan_camera_probe for a private token-enabled OTA lab image.

stackchan_camera_probe sets STACKCHAN_MOTION_ENABLED_AT_BOOT=1 and STACKCHAN_AUTONOMOUS_MOTION_AT_BOOT=1. Following the instructions in order undoes the safety step you were just told to perform.

Now points the private path at stackchan_release_forensics_vision (added in #224), which takes the camera and the authenticated host-vision endpoints while keeping the inherited motion-off-at-boot posture, and states the difference between the two profiles plainly rather than leaving it to be discovered from platformio.ini.

stackchan_camera_probe stays documented for when autonomous motion is itself what you are testing — it is not deprecated, just no longer the default suggestion for vision work.

Also records that every camera-enabled environment refuses to build without STACKCHAN_PAIRING_SHORT_CODE, so an unauthenticated camera image cannot be produced by forgetting one.

Documentation only.

The bring-up steps contradicted themselves. Step 1 has the operator stop motion and confirm the
servo rail and torque are off; step 2 then told them to flash stackchan_camera_probe for a private
image, and that profile sets STACKCHAN_MOTION_ENABLED_AT_BOOT=1 and
STACKCHAN_AUTONOMOUS_MOTION_AT_BOOT=1. Following the instructions in order undid the safety step.

Point the private path at stackchan_release_forensics_vision, which adds the camera and the
authenticated host-vision endpoints while keeping the inherited motion-off-at-boot posture, and say
plainly what the difference is. stackchan_camera_probe stays documented for when autonomous motion
is itself the thing under test.

Also record that every camera-enabled environment now refuses to build without a pairing code, so an
unauthenticated camera image cannot be produced by forgetting one.
