test: migrate constants/float64/ln-two to ULP-based assertions

[kgryte]

Resolves a part of #11352.

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request:

• migrates the test suite for constants/float64/ln-two from a relative tolerance assertion to a ULP difference assertion.

The export equals ln(2) test previously computed delta = abs( v - LN2 ) and tol = EPS * LN2 and asserted with t.ok( delta <= tol, ... ). It now delegates to @stdlib/assert/is-almost-same-value:

tape( 'export equals `ln(2)`', function test( t ) {
	var v;

	v = ln( 2.0 );
	t.strictEqual( isAlmostSameValue( v, LN2, 0 ), true, 'returns expected value' );

	t.end();
});

Final ULP constant: 0.

File	Call sites	ULP bound
test/test.js	1	0

Notes on how the bound was measured:

• The bound was tightened empirically, starting from n = 64 and stepping down (64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0). Every probe passes, so 0 is the measured minimum and no smaller non-negative bound exists.
• ln( 2.0 ) returns 0.6931471805599453, which is bit-identical to the exported constant 0.6931471805599453; @stdlib/number/float64/base/ulp-difference reports a difference of exactly 0 ULP.
• The double-precision variant of the assertion is used here, matching the already-converted constants/float64/ln-two-pi.
• The suite was run twice at the final bound to confirm determinism; all 4 assertions pass both times.
• This package has no test.native.js, so there is no JS/C divergence to account for.
• The two pre-existing exact assertions (typeof and the exact 0.6931471805599453 value check) are intentionally left unchanged, as exact comparisons remain correct there.
• The now-unused @stdlib/math/base/special/abs and @stdlib/constants/float64/eps requires are removed.
• Only the one test file is modified; no source, documentation, or fixture changes.

No.

Other

Any other information relevant to this pull request? This may include screenshots, references, and/or implementation notes.

The bound is reproducible across architectures: the comparison is between two compile-time-fixed double-precision values and is not subject to FMA-contraction differences.

Note that the local make lint-editorconfig check could not run in this environment (the editorconfig-checker binary download is network-blocked), so the changed file was verified manually for tabs-only indentation, no trailing whitespace, LF endings, and a final newline. make eslint-tests TESTS_FILTER=".*/constants/float64/ln-two/.*" and make test TESTS_FILTER=".*/constants/float64/ln-two/.*" both pass.

Disclosure

If you answered "yes" to using AI assistance, please provide a short disclosure indicating how you used AI assistance. This helps reviewers determine how much scrutiny to apply when reviewing your contribution. Example disclosures: "This PR was written primarily by Claude Code." or "I consulted ChatGPT to understand the codebase, but the proposed changes were fully authored manually by myself.".

This PR was authored by Claude Code. It studied the already-converted packages in the same family (notably constants/float64/ln-two-pi and constants/float32/half-ln-two) to match the established idiom, then measured the minimum ULP bound empirically and verified determinism as described above.
