v1.0.0: Modernise config, telemetry, and hardware decoupling

[wtgee]

Overview

Tracking issue for the POCS v1.0.0 milestone. The goal is a POCS that uses a file-based config store (no HTTP server), the new telemetry server (no PanDB), and lays the groundwork for running hardware components as independent processes.

To-Do

Config Store (PR #1448 + #1453)

• Merge Replace HTTP config server with file-based config store; config CLI improvements #1448
• Remove deprecated config_host/config_port no-op params from PanBase and the CLI
• Add config_file param to PanBase.__init__ so hardware processes can call init_config(config_file) independently
• Wire POCSConfig Pydantic validation into init_config so bad config fails loudly at startup
• Remove unused db: sections from YAML config files
• Merge Config store cleanup: remove deprecated params, add config_file, wire Pydantic validation #1453

Telemetry Server (PR #1445)

• Merge Migrate from PanDB to TelemetryClient (panoptes-utils v0.3.5) #1445
• Verify all self.db.* call sites work with TelemetryClient drop-in interface
• Remove panoptes.utils.database (PanDB) dependency from pyproject.toml
• Remove unused db: sections from YAML config files
• Add pocs telemetry run / pocs telemetry current CLI commands
• Add Firestore mirroring hook (make_firestore_hook)
• Telemetry run boundaries in scheduling.py / parking.py / __init__
• Improved persistence defaults (state/power/weather/images permanent; status ephemeral)

Terminal TUI — #1446

• Merge feat(tui): add POCS terminal dashboard plan and initial curses skeleton #1446 skeleton
• bridge.py command channel + pocs tui CLI entry point
• Live scanner (_scan() reading from TelemetryClient → POCSModel)
• OPERATIONS view with working lifecycle actions (init, start run, park)
• CONFIG view with inline config editing
• HARDWARE, SCHEDULER, SAFETY, HELP tabs
• Modal confirmation dialogs for destructive actions
• Procedures: polar alignment, focus run, dark frames

Hardware Decoupling (groundwork)

• Each hardware base class (mount, camera, scheduler) accepts config_file param and calls init_config independently
• Document the pattern for running hardware as separate processes

Release

• Update CHANGELOG.md with all v1.0.0 entries
• Bump version to 1.0.0 in pyproject.toml
• Full simulator test run
• Remove planning documents (docs/tui_plan.md) before merging v1.0.0 → main
• Tag and release v1.0.0
