rouggy 72ec3cbb97 feat(cat): share the rig over TCI as well as Hamlib — one or the other
internal/rigctld exists because Windows gives a COM port to ONE process: the
moment OpsLog talks to the radio natively, nothing else can. It answers the
programs that speak Hamlib NET rigctl. This answers the ones built around Expert
Electronics' TCI instead — and it answers them whatever radio is connected,
because it sits on the same backend-agnostic Rig interface. An operator with an
Icom or a Yaesu can now hand a TCI-only program a working rig.

One server or the other, never both. They answer the same questions about the
same radio, nothing speaks both, and a second listener is only a second thing to
go wrong.

Written against the official TCI Protocol document (ExpertSDR3/TCI, 12 January
2024, MIT — downloaded and read, not recalled): the initialisation set of §4.1
in its documented order, and the argument order of every command from §4.2. A
client will not proceed past connect without that block, which is why it is
written out in full rather than stubbed.

The one dangerous detail is the VFO mapping. TCI's channel A is where you
LISTEN and channel B where you transmit — the opposite way round from OpsLog's
RigState, which follows ADIF. Getting that backwards would put a station on the
DX's own frequency, so it is pinned in both directions by a test, and RxFreq was
added to the adapter rather than inferred.

Writing channel B while the rig is simplex is ignored: the client asked to
prepare a split transmit frequency, not to QSY, and a logger doing that on every
spot click would drag the operator off the station they were listening to. A
backend that cannot split still refuses out loud.

Only changes are pushed. TCI clients redraw on each command, so re-sending an
unchanged frequency four times a second makes a VFO readout flicker and fights
the operator's own tuning.

Nine tests, no socket needed — the protocol is the decision, not the transport.

// 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.
