ETMY Roll Mode Guardian Damping

Since we've been seeing the ETMY roll mode consistently ringing up over the start of lock stretches and that it can cause locklosses after long enough, Sheila modified the 'DAMP_BOUNCE' [502] state of ISC_LOCK to now engage damping of this mode with a gain of 40. The state has also been renamed to 'DAMP_BOUNCE_ROLL'. I have accepted the gain of 40 and timeramp of 5 sec in the OBSERVE.snap table of h1susetmy and only the timeramp in the SAFE.snap table (screenshots attached; we had originally set the gain at 30 but then updated it to 40, which I forgot to take a screenshot of).

We are still unsure as to why this roll mode has been ringing up since the vent, but so far Elenna has ruled out the SRCL feedforward and theorizes it could be from ASC, specifically CHARD_P (see alog84982 and comments).

I think this is causing us locklosses, twice we've lost lock in this state as it turns on when I slowly stepped through the states, and twice we've lost it a few seconds into POWER_10Ws when GRD was moving automatically. I reduced the gain to 30 from 40 (SVN commited and reloaded ISC_LOCK, I had to first commit the DAMP_BOUNCE_ROLL state edits) and doubled the tramp to 10 (SDFed in SAFE).

The reduced gain and increased tramp didn't stop it from killing the lock, as soon as it engaged we lost lock. I've commented it out from ISC_LOCK - line 3937.

I think the BOUNCE_ROLL channel was mistyped in ISC_LOCK, the line is ezca['SUS-ETMY_M0_DAMP_R_GAIN'] = 40 where it should be ezca['SUS-ETMY_M0_DARM_DAMP_R_GAIN'] = 40 ? I should have noticed this earlier.

I edited the channel in ISC_LOCK to add "DARM_" but I did not get a chance to reload before we went into Observing.
