+components correctly updates the app-wide bits on Application::app_state_,
+AND that the status_led_light component actually responds to those bits
+by writing to its output (the full chain from component.status_set_warning
+→ App.app_state_ → status_led_light.loop() reading get_app_state()).

+Exercises the multi-component OR semantics (the app bit stays set while

+clears its bit), the independence of warning and error, and the actual
+status_led_light read of the bits via a fake template output that counts

+"""Integration test for addressable light transitions with gamma correction.
+
+Regression test for a bug where a long turn-on transition on an addressable
+light with gamma correction (e.g. gamma_correct: 2.8) produced no visible
+output for ~90% of the transition duration, then jumped to the target in the
+final ~10%. Root cause: the transition algorithm read each LED's current value
+back through the 8-bit stored byte every step; at gamma 2.8 any pre-gamma value
+below ~27 rounds to stored byte 0, so the stored byte stalled at 0 until
+progress was high enough for a single step to produce a large-enough pre-gamma
+value to clear the gamma threshold.
+
+The fix interpolates against a cached start color when all LEDs started at the
+same value (the common case for plain turn_on/turn_off), avoiding the round-trip.
+
+This test uses a host-only mock addressable light that exposes the raw stored
+byte of each LED, so we can observe the transition directly.

+"""Integration test for addressable light transitions with gamma correction.
+
+Regression test for a bug where a long turn-on transition on an addressable
+light with gamma correction (e.g. gamma_correct: 2.8) produced no visible
+output for ~90% of the transition duration, then jumped to the target in the
+final ~10%. Root cause: the transition algorithm read each LED's current value
+back through the 8-bit stored byte every step; at gamma 2.8 any pre-gamma value
+below ~27 rounds to stored byte 0, so the stored byte stalled at 0 until
+progress was high enough for a single step to produce a large-enough pre-gamma
+value to clear the gamma threshold.
+
+The fix interpolates against a cached start color when all LEDs started at the
+same value (the common case for plain turn_on/turn_off), avoiding the round-trip.
+
+This test uses a host-only mock addressable light that exposes the raw stored
+byte of each LED, so we can observe the transition directly.
