Description

What does this PR do?

Moves shots, settings and calibration into SQLite, swaps the C++ sim path for a Python sim layer (GSPro, E6, OGS), has the LM pull its config from the web server instead of CLI flags, and gives the web UI a full pass.

Why is this change needed?

JSON files and CLI flags were getting messy, sims were stuck in C++, and the UI had a pile of bugs and confusing flows for first-time setup.

Changes Made

• SQLite storage for sessions, shots, settings and calibration, with migrations and a one-time import of the old JSON files
• Python sim layer: GSPro, E6 (auth via a small shared lib), OGS. Sims are now instances you add from the navbar with a test button and an on switch, multiple per type
• LM gets its config over HTTP from the web server, dead CLI flags/env vars/config keys removed, every key the C++ reads is defined in configurations.json and tested
• Calibration page is a checklist in order (strobe, lens, ball) with real done/redo state
• Dashboard strip shows real LM state, setup checklist, cleaner navbar
• Config page has a setup card plus basic/advanced settings, no more lost edits, values typed and validated
• Shot history redo, logs/update/testing fixes, fake carry removed
• DaisyUI/Tailwind vendored, eslint passes and runs in CI

Breaking Changes

• This PR includes breaking changes
  • What breaks: settings/calibration move from JSON to SQLite, old simulators.* config keys become sim instances, the LM no longer takes config CLI flags, /api/sessions now returns {sessions, has_more}
  • Migration steps: none needed, old JSON and sim settings migrate on first start

Dependencies

• No new dependencies

• Updated dependencies:

  • DaisyUI 5.7.47 and Tailwind browser 4.3.3 vendored (were unpinned CDN)
  • yaml-cpp dropped
  • opencv-python-headless pinned for tests

Hardware Compatibility
