Subject: [PATCH] test: cover weather/grib2/wgrib2

16 characterization tests against real wgrib2 binary + checked-in HRRR
fixtures: extract_grid/3 (bbox + physical sanity on TMP/DPT + longitude
convention), extract_grid_from_file/3, extract_grid_from_file_mapped/4
reducer plumbing, extract_grid_messages/3 metadata, extract_points_from_file/3
nearest-neighbor snap, undefined-value sentinel filtering, empty-match and
error shapes. Tagged @describetag :slow so they run on 'mix test --include
slow' (project default excludes slow, matches existing HRRR/NARR tests).

Surfaces one real bug (not fixed): extract_grid_messages variants don't
account for the 8-byte Fortran record overhead between messages in wgrib2
-lola output, so per-message values after the first are shifted. The
correct offset math exists in parse_lola_binary/3. Tests characterize
current behavior (metadata-only); worth a follow-up fix + value-range
assertions.

+defmodule Microwaveprop.Weather.Grib2.Wgrib2Test do
+  @moduledoc """
+  Characterization tests for `Microwaveprop.Weather.Grib2.Wgrib2`.
+
+  These exercise the real `wgrib2` binary against checked-in HRRR GRIB2
+  fixtures. Tests that require the binary will check `available?()` and
+  fall back to a documented assertion if it's missing — the dev and CI
+  environments are expected to have `wgrib2` installed.
+
+  Covered:
+    * Public entry points: `extract_grid/3`, `extract_grid_from_file/3`,
+      `extract_grid_from_file_mapped/4`, `extract_grid_messages/3`,
+      `extract_grid_messages_from_file/3`, `extract_points_from_file/3`.
+    * Round-trip of longitude between -180..180 input and output.
+    * Reducer callback plumbing in the `_mapped` variant.
+    * Undefined-value filtering (9.999e20 sentinel) at the edge of the
+      HRRR CONUS mask.
+    * Date parsing via the inventory (DateTime truncation + UTC tag).
+    * Error shape when wgrib2 exits non-zero (invalid input file).
+    * Empty-match and empty-points corner cases.
+
+  Deferred (intentional):
+    * Stubbing `System.cmd/3` output strings — the module calls the
+      binary directly with no injection seam. The parser helpers
+      (`parse_wgrib2_inventory`, `parse_wgrib2_date_digits`,
+      `parse_lon_val_segment`) are covered indirectly via the real
+      binary round-trip. Mocking would require introducing DI we don't
+      want as part of characterization.
+    * `{:error, :wgrib2_not_available}` branch — `available?/0` is
+      computed from `System.find_executable/1` with no seam. With
+      wgrib2 present, we document the branch in the moduledoc and
+      cover the helper returning `true`; exercising the `false` arm
+      would require mocking `System.find_executable/1`.
+    * `{:error, :enoent}` -> `{:ok, %{}}` branch in `extract_file_*`
+      (requires wgrib2 to succeed yet produce no output file — never
+      seen in practice and wgrib2's behavior on empty matches is the
+      same whether run on binary or file).
