I did find the use of the term "register" slightly jarring given its somewhat overloaded nature between its natural language meaning, used here, and also the sense of "a specific place in which to store a datum". Reading the Wikipedia page on the term, I came across "diatype", which to me seemed to convey the same meaning without the potential confusion from the polysemantics of "register"...?

Obviously any time you're working with floating-point sample data the precise values of floats will almost always not be bit-accurate against what your model predicts (sometimes even if that model is a previous run of the same system with the same inputs as in this case); it's about defining an acceptable deviation. I guess what I'm saying is that for audio software, a peak-peak error of 0.1 equates to a signal at -20 dBFS (ref DBFS@1.0) (which of course is quite a large amount of error for an audio signal), so perhaps using higher-resolution graphs would be a good idea.
(Has anyone made a tool to diff sixels yet? /s)
(e.g. if you somehow managed to introduce a constant DC-offset of +0.05, with the shown step size of 0.2, these tests would probably never pick it up, modulo rounding.)
That said, these tests are great for asserting that specific functionality does broadly what it says on the tin, and making it easy to understand why not if they fail. We'll likely start using this technique at Fourier Audio (shameless plug) as a more observable functionality smoke test to augment finer-grained analytic tests that assert properties of the output waveform samples directly.

(It's a quote from the UK political satire series "The Thick Of It", in which the character Malcolm Tucker remarks, "NOMFP. N-O-M-F-P. Not My Fucking Problem. I quite like that. Did you like that? I'll use that quite a lot today.")
GitHub's response to "your default configuration is broken" was basically "welp, NOMFP":
