// SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-only
//! External-oracle validation of the lunar-coordinate-time (LTC/TCL) clock rate.
//!
//! Two independent external authorities, both pinned in
//! `tests/fixtures/lunar_coordinate_time/lunar_coordinate_time_reference.txt`:
//!
//! ORACLE A — **published vectors**: Ashby & Patla 2024, *A Relativistic
//! Framework to Estimate Clock Rates on the Moon*, The Astronomical Journal
//! 167:149 (2024), doi:10.3847/1538-3881/ad643a (arXiv:2402.11150) — the NIST
//! relativistic basis feeding the IAU/IAG and LunaNet Lunar Coordinate Time.
//! Their Table I and derived secular rates are transcribed verbatim. We check:
//! * the Earth-geoid (`L_G`) term `W0_EARTH/c² · 86400 · 1e6` vs published `L_G`,
//! * the Moon self-potential term `(GM_moon/R_moon)/c² · 86400 · 1e6` vs `L_m`,
//! * the net self-potential (gravitational redshift) rate
//! [`self_potential_rate_us_per_day`] vs the published `(L_G − L_m)` — this
//! lands to **sub-ns/day** (a genuine published-parity check, not a band test),
//! * the kshana total secular rate is inside the published `[56, 59]` band AND
//! within `1.05` µs/day of the published `56.0199` µs/day headline (Eq. 35).
//!
//! ORACLE B — **independent ephemeris**: JPL DE440 (`de440s.bsp`) read via NAIF
//! SPICE/spiceypy. The kinetic (2nd-order Doppler) term is driven by the
//! geocentric Moon speed, which kshana central-differences from its OWN analytic
//! Montenbruck–Gill lunar series. We check that speed against DE440 at the
//! identical TT epochs to **< 1.5 %** — an ephemeris-vs-analytic cross-check that
//! the kinetic-term driver is right, not a self-check.
//!
//! HONEST SCOPE: the **self-potential (gravitational) term matches the published
//! Ashby–Patla breakdown to parity (sub-ns/day)** — the upgrade. The **total** is
//! reference-dependent: kshana's geoid-minus-Moon-surface-self-potential total
//! (~57.0 µs/day) sits ~1 µs/day above the paper's full-selenoid headline
//! (56.0199 µs/day) because the selenoid model adds the Moon's centripetal/
//! rotation potential, the Earth tidal potential on the Moon, and a different
//! velocity averaging — the documented, REPORTED modelling gap, here gated to
//! `[56, 59]` and to within 1.05 µs/day of the headline. The Moon-speed check is
//! the analytic-series truncation gap (< 1.5 %). Nothing here certifies sub-ns
//! absolute LTC for operational timekeeping.
