maziggy 45dc139c41 Print an H2C two-nozzle plate from the carriage it was levelled on
The two carriages were the wrong way round: extruder index 0 was treated as
the fixed hotend and index 1 as the swappable rack, and it is the other way
about. A plate using both was levelled with one nozzle and printed with the
other, several millimetres off the plate.

Three sources agree, and disagreed with the code. Telemetry reports
ams_extruder_map {'0': 1, '1': 0, '2': 0}. BambuStudio, dispatching a plate
that used all three of those AMS units, sent the filament from the unit on
extruder 1 to physical nozzle 1 and the ones on extruder 0 to rack positions
16 and 18, and that print completed. And the two constants could not both
have been right: _FIXED_NOZZLE_ID is 1 while the fixed extruder was 0, in a
scheme where physical nozzle id N sits on extruder N.

The old value came from the #2800 hardware A/B, where [17, -1, -1, 1] printed
in mid-air and [1, -1, -1, 17] printed correctly. That result stands -- it
established which wire worked. The extruder indices were not measured by it;
they were inferred by pairing the working wire with a slot_extruders list
produced by the 3MF reader that has since turned out to mis-read exactly
these files. The reasoning is recorded at the constants so a future
regression report is not re-litigated from scratch.

Also withholds nozzle_mapping entirely when more than one filament group
needs the rack. Two groups on one extruder means that extruder is a rack and
the plate wants a different hotend per group -- which physical slot each
takes is the slicer's choice against the live rack and is stated nowhere in
the file, since both groups can carry identical diameter and nozzle type.
Studio dispatched such a plate to 16 and 18; nothing here can reproduce that,
and answering anyway is what printed in mid-air, so the firmware picks.

Restores the fixed 32-entry padding that dfeac792f replaced with the plate's
slot count. That was derived from a single 3-entry capture which turned out
to be a calibration job; Studio's dispatch of a real project print on the
same machine is 32 entries.

Both constants are read in one function, on the nozzle-rack path, so no other
model is affected. Verified on hardware: the plate that printed in mid-air
now prints.

maziggy dfeac792fb Stop an H2C refusing a multi-colour print as a hotend mismatch
The print uploaded, the printer took the command, and stopped at once with
HMS 0500-4047 -- "the available hotend quantity or model does not match the
sliced file". nozzle_mapping told the printer one of the plate's filaments
went to no hotend while ams_mapping named the tray it comes from, and the
firmware will not start a job on that contradiction.

Each filament in a 3MF names the group it belongs to, and on every other
dual-nozzle Bambu the group number is also the extruder index, so it was
read as one. On a rack machine it is not: the rack carriage holds six
hotends to the fixed carriage's one, so the slicer writes a group per
nozzle rather than per carriage. The failing plate carried groups 0, 1 and
2 against a two-entry physical_extruder_map, and the filament in group 2
was dropped -- indistinguishable downstream from a slot the plate does not
print, which is what reached the wire as -1.

extract_nozzle_mapping_from_3mf now resolves the group through the table
the file states for itself, the <nozzle id extruder_id> elements in
slice_info.config. Files carrying no such table keep the direct index, so
H2D slices are unaffected. A filament that still cannot be placed drops
the whole mapping with a logged reason instead of half an answer: the
firmware then picks its own nozzle, which is the pre-existing behaviour
and far better than an answer that contradicts itself.

Two related faults fixed in the same pass. The mapping was read across
every plate in the file, so on a multi-plate project a slot took its
extruder from whichever plate came last; it is now scoped to the plate
being dispatched, in extract_filament_requirements as well. And the array
is now one entry per filament slot, matching BambuStudio's own dispatch of
[1, 16, 16] for a three-filament plate, rather than padded to a fixed 32.

Verified against the file that failed: slot extruders [-1, 1, 0] became
[0, 1, 0], and the wire [-1, 16, 1, -1 x29] became [1, 16, 1].

maziggy e9d9e51a81 fix(h2c): send physical nozzle IDs for both carriages, not extruder indices (#2800)
The first pass at the H2C rack mapping had both of its hardware-derived
values wrong, and the reporter's follow-up A/B on real hardware settled
them.

The rack does not feed extruder 0. A mixed-nozzle plate extracted as
slots=[0, -1, -1, 1] with rack position 17 dispatched as
[17, -1, -1, 1], and the rack nozzle printed several millimetres above
the bed. The rack is extruder 1.

Correcting only that is not enough. The fixed hotend answers to physical
ID 1, not to its extruder index of 0, and forwarding the index produced
[0, -1, -1, 17] -- a command the printer rejected outright rather than
mis-printing. Translating both carriages gives [1, -1, -1, 17], and the
same sliced file then cleaned, levelled and printed on the correct
nozzle at the correct Z through to completion.

Both values agree with three native Bambu Studio captures from the same
machine, which carry [1, 17, ...] and [17, 1, ...] depending on filament
slot order.

An extruder index naming neither carriage now omits the field instead of
reaching the wire as a physical ID that identifies no nozzle. The
fixed-hotend-only path is unchanged but no longer a guess: Bambu Studio
sends no nozzle_mapping at all for such a plate, which is what Bambuddy
already did.

Reported, diagnosed and hardware-verified by @tru3l3gend, who ran the
mixed-nozzle A/B on both nozzles and captured what Bambu Studio sends
for fixed-only and mixed plates.

maziggy ec26cba927 Resolve the H2C rack nozzle at dispatch instead of letting firmware pick (#2800)
An H2C ran its startup clean and bed levelling on one hotend, switched,
and then printed several millimetres above the plate. The same job from
Bambu Studio was fine.

The H2C is the only model that mounts its nozzle from a rack of six, and
a print command names that nozzle by physical rack position -- the
firmware reports those as 16 to 21 -- not by the extruder index, 0 or 1,
every other dual-nozzle printer uses. Bambuddy only ever had a rack
position when a job arrived through the Virtual Printer, which captures
Bambu Studio's pick and replays it (#1780). Anything queued from the
library, an archive, the webhook or a slicer pipeline carried none, so
the field was omitted and the firmware chose -- and its choice need not
match what the file was sliced for.

The scheduler now derives the per-slot extruder assignment from the file
it is about to send, and the MQTT layer resolves it against the rack
position the printer reports live. Both are needed: the file knows which
side a slot prints from, only the printer knows which hotend is in the
carriage, and it can be swapped from the touchscreen between queueing a
job and printing it.

Derived at dispatch rather than at creation because that is the first
point knowing both the real printer and the real file -- an item can be
created unassigned, reassigned later, or have its file swapped for a
G-code-injected copy. One call therefore covers the print dialog, bulk
library adds, the webhook and pipeline runs, and no column is needed.

extract_nozzle_mapping_from_3mf is deliberately untouched. Its output
feeds the AMS matcher, where nozzle_id is compared against a tray's
extruder_id as a hard filter, and physical_extruder_map is what makes
that comparison correct -- on an H2D it is [1, 0] and flips the two.
Dropping the translation to suit the rack would send every dual-nozzle
AMS match to the wrong extruder. The dense per-slot form is a separate
function reusing the same output.

Nothing here can fail a dispatch. The command is built and published with
no exception handler above it, and the queue item is already committed as
printing by then, so a bad input has to degrade to "firmware picks"
rather than wedge the item. resolve_rack_nozzle_mapping validates every
input and raises nothing; an unresolvable mapping, an unparseable value
or an unknown rack position all omit the field, which is the behaviour
that existed before. Slot IDs are bounded before the dense list is built:
they come from the file, and one declaring filament id="50000000" would
otherwise allocate a fifty-million-entry list on the dispatch path.

Two things are not guessed. A job printing only from the fixed hotend is
still left to the firmware, because that nozzle's physical ID is not
confirmed by a known-good capture. And the rack is taken to feed extruder
0 from a single hardware observation -- if that is flipped, a one-sided
job matches nothing and falls back to the old behaviour, so only a job
using both nozzles at once could be harmed, which is what a second
capture needs to confirm.

Confined to the H2C throughout. Building the print command for 21 model
spellings with and without the new argument changes exactly three of them
-- H2C, O1C and O1C2. The other 18, including H2D and X2D, are identical.

Reported by @tru3l3gend, who diagnosed it on real hardware against a
working Bambu Studio dispatch, established the rack ID range and supplied
a patch.
