Real git merge of master into dev (not a cherry-pick), so dev stops showing as "behind" master in the branch list.

master's only commits not already in dev were #184 and #186 (and their four underlying commits) — content-wise already present in dev via the #185/#187 cherry-pick backports, so this is purely a history-graph sync, not a content change.

Conflicts resolved

Five add/add or content conflicts, all resolved by taking dev's side, per the guidance already written into #185/#187's own descriptions:

Verified no leftover conflict markers, and after this merge git log HEAD..origin/master is empty — dev is fully caught up.

The repository has seven tags and six GitHub releases, and no file that
tells a user what changed between them. `pip install forefire` makes that
worse: someone pinning a version has the release notes on GitHub and
nothing in the tree.
CHANGELOG.md reconstructs every release from the release notes and the
commit history. Claims that could be checked were checked against the
tags: listenHTTP and RothermelAndrews2018 are absent at v1.2 and present
at v2.0, the geojson dump mode is absent at v1.1.10.
[Unreleased] lists only what is on this branch, #154 and #155. The dev
branch carries a longer list in its own copy, which supersedes this one
when dev is merged.
CONTRIBUTING.md now asks for an entry, so the file stays current instead
of being reconstructed again in a year. Its link to a testing page
pointed at a Read the Docs URL that has never existed; it points at
TESTING.md, which nothing in the repository linked to.
The documentation site had no mention of pip, pypi or wheels -- `grep -rni
'pip\|pypi\|wheel' docs/source` returned nothing -- while the README's
headline instruction is `pip install forefire`. Every reader arriving at the
site was sent to build from source.
- installation.rst leads with pip: platforms, what the wheel contains, and
the three options wheels turn off (MPI, -march=native, ANN_test), then the
source build as before.
- The NetCDF prerequisite said 'Verify which one is actually required by the
current CMake setup', leaving the reader to answer the documentation's own
question. CMakeLists.txt looks for netcdf_c++4 / netcdf-cxx4 / netcdf-cxx
and its failure message already lists the package per distribution; that
table is now in the page, along with the note that libnetcdf-cxx-legacy-dev
is a different API.
- The FOREFIRE_* build options are documented, with their real defaults.
- quickstart.rst offered Docker only, calling it 'the quickest way'. A pip
route comes first now; the Docker walkthrough is unchanged.
- conf.py hard-coded release = '2.0.0', so the site advertised 2.0.0 while
the code was v2.5.0. It parses src/include/Version.h, as CMake and
scikit-build-core do.
Sphinx builds clean: the only warnings are the eleven doxygenclass lookups
that need the Doxygen XML RTD generates in its pre_build step.
Nearly every specific claim in tests/README.md was wrong:
- `idealized_wind.py` and `rothermel.fann` do not exist; the files are
`idealizedwind.py` and `Rothermel.ffann`.
- runANN was listed as needing `tensorflow` (or `torch`). It needs neither.
It runs `bin/ANN_test`, built from tools/runANN/ANNTest.cpp, and ForeFire
reads the .ffann network itself.
- runANN was described as comparing against reference outputs. It diffs
against result.txt.ref, which is not in the repository, so the suite fails
on its second line every time -- now stated, with a pointer to #163.
- percolation.py runs four fires, not three: one per entry in k_coeffs.
- idealizedwind.py writes no NetCDF, only 360wind.png, and by way of
ForeFire's plot[] command rather than matplotlib.
- runff has two entry points that do different things. run.bash runs three
scenarios and checks the artefacts exist; ff-run.bash runs two and compares
KML and NetCDF against references. CI calls the second, so only the second
can catch physics drift. The old text described neither accurately.
tests/python/README.md documented only farsite_flat.py, the one script that
cannot run as checked out, and did not say so. It now covers all four files,
keeps the download URL for flatland.lcp, and marks test_wheel.py as belonging
to cibuildwheel rather than to this suite.
`emit` has been in Command::makeCmds since it was added, but in neither
app/forefire/commands.md nor the command reference. That file is not prose:
AdvancedLineEditor.cpp parses it into getCommandMan(), which drives Tab
completion, the help text and the syntax colouring. A command missing from it
is invisible to the console -- typing `emit` was rendered uncoloured, exactly
like a typo, while `save` beside it came out green.
commands.md also carried two '## clear' blocks. getCommandMan() assigns
cmdMan[key] as it walks the file, so the second silently replaced the first
and the longer entry was dead text. They are merged into one that matches what
Command::clear does: free the domain, cancel scheduled events, keep the
parameters.
Both files now cover all 22 registered commands, with no duplicates.
Verified: rebuilt and piped `emit`, `clear` and a nonsense word into the
console. The first two now colour green as recognised commands, the third does
not. Sphinx builds with no new warnings.
Document the pip install path, and fix the stale test and command references
