"""Adaptive gain tuner -- Sprint 8.

Watches the steady-state heading error and adjusts the outer-loop Kp/Ki
within the bounds defined by ``PidConfig.adaptive_max_deviation_pct``.

The strategy is a simple integral-error gradient scheme:
- If |mean_error| > dead_band for a sustained window, nudge Kp up by step_pct.
- If the response is oscillating (error sign changes frequently), nudge Kp down.
- Ki is adjusted proportionally to maintain the ZN ratio Ki = 2*Kp / Tu_est.
- Kd is not adapted (derivative magnifies noise; ZN auto-tune sets it once).

All changes are bounded to ±adaptive_max_deviation_pct of the base gains
(brief section 6: "never outside ±50 %").

Usage::

    tuner = AdaptiveTuner(pid_config, base_gains)
    # On each outer-loop tick (10 Hz):
    new_gains = tuner.step(heading_error_deg, dt_s=0.1)
    if new_gains is not None:
        apply_outer_gains(new_gains)
