// Package tciserver shares OpsLog's CAT link with programs that speak TCI.
//
// It is the second half of internal/rigctld, and exists for the same reason:
// Windows gives a COM port to ONE process, so the moment OpsLog talks to the
// radio directly nothing else can. rigctld answers the programs that speak
// Hamlib NET rigctl (WSJT-X, JTDX, MSHV, Log4OM); this answers the ones built
// around Expert Electronics' TCI instead — and it answers them whatever radio
// is actually connected, because it sits on the same backend-agnostic
// interface. An operator with an Icom or a Yaesu can hand a TCI-only program a
// working rig.
//
// ── The protocol ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
// Text commands over a WebSocket, "name:arg,arg;", the same syntax in both
// directions. On connection the server sends a block of initialisation
// commands describing the device, ending with ready; and start;. Thereafter
// either side may send a control command, and the server echoes every change
// to all connected clients so they stay in step with each other.
//
// vfo:0,0,14074000; receiver 0, channel A (RX), Hz
// vfo:0,1,14080000; channel B — the TX frequency when split is on
// modulation:0,usb; mode
// trx:0,true; PTT
// split_enable:0,true; split
// vfo:0,0; a READ: the reply is the three-argument form
//
// Written against the official TCI Protocol document (ExpertSDR3/TCI, 12
// January 2024, MIT) — the initialisation set and the argument order of every
// command below are from §4.1 and §4.2, not from guesswork about what a client
