Working on fixture status interpretation while our cell is unavailable

I'm trying to develop our fixture status interpretation application offline while the cell is unavailable. It normally uses Universal Robots UR5e in a maintenance setup with documented status queries, with an inspection block as a reference. Our mock returns true for every method, keeping the screen happy without checking the interface properly. I need software response testing, with no claim to physical simulation.

Have you saved a documented SDK success and error response for the interface your screen uses? Start with those.

@RebeccaAdams0169 I've replayed a saved SDK error response and reproduced our parser bug offline. The existing mock never exposed it because it always returned true.

Build only the interface you use, with those response shapes and explicit failures for unknown methods. That'll keep the offline run contained.
