Claude 985f4883a8 update test_last_full_moon.py to produce the full moon image
Now runs the complete production pipeline without east-frame verification:
find last full moon → fetch NASA Dial-a-Moon render → render_phase_closeup
→ test_last_full_moon_out.jpg with caption (phase, % lit, local time,
NASA attribution).

Also retains the sun_events_in_range() call as a regression check for
the sunrise_sunset() bare-topos fix.

"""test_last_full_moon.py — produce a full-moon close-up for the most recent full moon.
Runs the same NASA Dial-a-Moon fetch + render_phase_closeup pipeline that
moon-phase-monthly.sh uses, but bypasses the east-frame witness step so it
works any time without needing captured frames.
Also exercises sun_events_in_range() (the sunrise/sunset almanac call that
requires a bare topos, not an earth+topos observer) as a regression check
for that fix.
Output: test_last_full_moon_out.jpg in the sky-cam directory.
Run from the sky-cam directory:
python3 test_last_full_moon.py
