Shadbala index, a Lumin 0-100 planetary strength index [Lumin extension]

get_shadbala_index

[Lumin extension] NOT the BPHS Shadbala and not comparable with a printed one (F047): Lumin's own index of six 0-100 components per planet, averaged. Returns '{ planets: [{ planet, components: { sthana, dig, kala, cheshta, naisargika, drik, total }, rank, relativeStrength: STRONG | MODERATE | WEAK, requirement: { virupas, rupas }, bandCut, requirementRatio, notes }], nodes, strongest, weakest, summary, method: 'lumin-strength-index', methodNote, scoreProvenance, houseConvention }'. Sourced: the six component names, the Dig bala directions, the Naisargika series (the one component that IS the classical quantity), the day/night assignment, the exclusion of the nodes, and the per-planet requirement of BPHS 27.32-33, whose RATIOS set each planet's own 'bandCut' on this scale ('requirementRatio' keeps the shape of the classical test, actual over required, not its number). Not sourced, and named in 'scoreProvenance': every 0-100 score, the averaging, the 65 anchor and the moderate cut. Rahu and Ketu are computed in 'nodes' and never ranked against the seven. Say it is a Lumin index every time it is used. The classical virupas are 'get_classical_shadbala', and how far the two rankings disagree is 'divergence' on 'get_shadbala'. Gates no KP verdict. The same blocks 'get_shadbala' returns at its top level ('planets', 'nodes', 'strongest', 'weakest', 'summary', 'method', 'methodNote', 'scoreProvenance', 'houseConvention').
