Detailed Description

Closes an external electrical circuit on the channel's own resistance.

A seam, not a solver. The circuit itself lives in Python (rizer/electrical_model/circuit/); what crosses into C++ is one callback taking \((t, R_p)\) and returning the plasma terminal voltage. This file holds the half that belongs on this side: the cross-section quadrature that turns the live state into \(\int\sigma\,\mathrm{d}A\), the resistance it implies, and the two terminal voltages the driver interpolates the applied field between over one step.

Separate from PlasmaChannelSolver because it is a small state machine – five numbers with one writer – whose correctness is an ordering question (see closeOver()) rather than part of the time loop it sits inside.
