ParameterTypeDefault
targetexprthe surface / feature to probe

Drives a guarded probing move that stops on probe trip, recording the contact — the basis for in-process measurement, work-offset setting, and SPC. A bare `probe …` is inspect-only; bind it with `let` to use the result (e.g. guard with `abort`).
