Transit Crossings
get_transit_crossings
All KP sub-lord boundary crossings for the requested planets within a date window (max 366 days). Uses 1-hour coarse scan + binary-search refinement to minute precision. Returns '{ crossings: [{ planet, crossingTimeUTC, fromKP, toKP, fromSubLord, toSubLord, isNakshatraChange, isSignChange }], totalCrossings, planetsSearched, pagination, pageNote }'. **Paged.** A year-long scan of all 9 planets runs to hundreds of crossings, so they come back a page at a time; read 'pageNote' and call again with 'page' incremented until it says it is the last page. Narrowing 'planets' or the date window is usually better than paging through everything.
