Cross-link Craft as tracking controller alongside Gpredict

Browse source 
Satellite tracking guide now covers both Gpredict and Craft
(space.warehack.ing) as rotctld clients. Architecture docs
updated to be protocol-first rather than Gpredict-specific.
TUI guide mentions Track mode's rotctld server for external
controller integration.

Where you actually point the dish. Three modes across the top: **Manual**, **Presets**, and **Track**.
Track mode starts a rotctld server on port 4533 so external controllers -- [Craft](https://space.warehack.ing) or [Gpredict](/guides/satellite-tracking/#configuring-gpredict) -- can drive the dish with live satellite tracking.
In Manual mode, a compass rose shows current azimuth with a bearing indicator. AZ and EL
readouts update live — the G2's stepper resolution is 0.009° azimuth (40,000 steps/rev)
