Claude aa4f699b43 add test_last_full_moon.py — smoke-test for moon phase + sun events
Finds the most recent full moon (within 35 days), prints illumination,
phase angle, alt/az, and parallactic angle, then calls sun_events_in_range()
for the surrounding day.  The sun_events call is the direct regression
path for the sunrise_sunset() observer fix (bare topos, not earth+topos).

"""test_last_full_moon.py — smoke-test moon_phase.py against the most recent full moon.
Exercises:
- full_moons_in_range() — phase detection
- sun_events_in_range() — sunrise/sunset almanac (requires bare topos, not earth+topos)
- illumination() / altaz() / parallactic_angle()
Run from the sky-cam directory:
