Repurpose the previously-unwired RunFanStressTest into RunFanCheck, a
Load-tier SAT test that drives stressapptest (CPU+memory) and, when a GPU
is present, a GPU burn to 100% simultaneously, then watches every fan
until none has climbed for ~60s. The observed peak RPM per fan is the
"ceiling"; it is persisted through the existing fan-observation store.
MSI G4201 / AMI MegaRAC exposes no host-side fan force (every OEM IPMI
command returns 0xc1; Redfish Thermal is GET-only), so load-driven ramp
is the closest safe equivalent. See
bible-local/decisions/2026-09-04-fan-ceiling-check.md.
- platform.ResolveFanMaxRPM: per-fan max with fallback (persisted peak ->
peer peak -> current RPM), resolved in platform, not the view.
- platform.ErrTestNotApplicable: no load source or no fan sensors ->
task lands as cancelled ("not applicable"), never failed, so an
engineer never sees a false red. executeTaskWithOptions maps the
sentinel; finalizeTaskForResult honours a pre-set TaskCancelled.
- Verdict FAIL only for a fan at 0 RPM / IPMI cr-nr under load.
- /topo: one small spinning square per fan, sized by RPM / resolved max,
clickable through to a new "fan" component-detail type; per-fan status
recorded to the component-status DB from the fan SAT summary.
- Wiring: /api/sat/fan/run route, "fan" task target, Load-page card,
stress-mode Run All.
