Keep instruments connected between runs
Reconnecting to instruments between units costs time on every run — slow VISA sessions, TCP links, or serial handshakes were re-established for each unit tested on a station.
- Added
scope: stationfor plugs: the connection opens once, is shared by every run on the station, and closes when the station stops - Health-checked the held instance before each run, respawning it if the process died, the plug definition changed, or a new deployment was applied
- Renamed plug and phase scopes to
slot/execution/station; the legacyeach/allspellings still parse
