Slots with no flags (sensor, controlSignal, out_*) were not skipped
during config property reads, consuming bytes that the device never
sent and misaligning every subsequent config value (setpoint,
proportionalBand, etc.) into tiny denormalized floats like 2.36875e-41.
Changed the filter in _apply_props from "skip if runtime" to "skip if
not config" so only explicitly config-flagged slots are read from config
messages. Also switched iter("slot") to findall("slot") in the slot
registry builder to avoid picking up nested descendants.
Float display now defaults to 2 decimal places everywhere (wiresheet
and properties panel), honouring the precision facet when one exists.

Port the DASP transport and Sox protocol stack from sedonaOntrol Java
to Python, enabling live device editing alongside the existing offline
SAX editor. Lazy-loads components on navigation, caches them, and
subscribes to COV events for the active wiresheet.
New files: dasp.py, sox.py, device_session.py, connect_dialog.py,
live_hooks.py. Modified: app_state.py (live-mode state), main.py
(Device menu, COV polling, lazy tree expand), properties.py (Sox
write-through), sax_file.py (structural mutations route through
live_hooks), schema.py (find_manifest helper).

Names the four columns -- Name, Type, Value, Unit -- in grey at row size over a
hairline rule, so it labels the table without competing with it.
A fifth column of raw flags= letters was tried alongside it and taken out
again. c, a, s and o are the manifest's own shorthand, and a column of them
told the reader nothing the row was not already saying: c is what the white
field means, a is what an "action" value means. What the flags decide is still
decided by them; it is just not spelled out twice.

@hidden is now filtered by default. niagara.html says hidden slots "are
designed to be invisible to the user" and that interfaces should rarely
display them; every one under Sedona home is a void action a kit uses
internally, such as HdwAI.checkType. A "Hidden slots (n)" checkbox in the
footer brings them back and the answer sticks for the session. The checkbox
only appears on a type that has some, and the rows are always built -- the
toggle grid_removes and re-grids them, so an emptied grid row collapses rather
than leaving a gap.
A bool now says which state it is in by the colour of its field rather than by
a dot beside it that had to be learnt: green true, red false, blue null, with
the words left black so they read as easily as every other value. Dropping the
dot also lets a bool's field line up with the numbers above and below it.
Two things that needed changing to get there:
- a dropdown is offered only where there is a choice to make. A read-only
bool or enum gets a plain field, since a disabled dropdown is an arrow
that does nothing -- and a read-only bool is still filled, because a
runtime bool has a state too.
- the dropdown is a tk.OptionMenu, not a ttk.Combobox. On the Windows themes
a Combobox draws its field with a native element and ignores
fieldbackground outright, so a bool could never be filled with its colour.
An OptionMenu reports through its variable rather than an event, which means
loading a row looks exactly like choosing one -- so the load is flagged and the
unsaved-state tint left alone until every row is in, or the view would open
already claiming edits nobody made.

Right-click a component on the wiresheet or in the tree and Properties takes
over the editor pane, listing every slot the manifest declares rather than the
handful a box paints. Config slots that are not @readonly are white and
editable; everything else is grey.
Rows are built from the slot's facets, read against SedonaDoc/niagara.html:
@trueText/@falseText, @range, @precision, @unit, and @min/@max, which bound
what Save accepts. Three facets it had wrong:
- null is a value, not an absence. control::WriteFloat pairs 'in' with a
setNull action and the sample app stores val="null" on four of them, so
null now shows, parses back, and reads as @nullText where declared.
- @min/@max on a Buf count characters. TcpDevice.ipAddr is a Buf(17) with
@max 16; a longer string is refused rather than overrunning the device.
- an int's implicit range is noise. [-2147483648 - 2147483647] said no more
than "a whole number", so only byte and short print a range they did not
declare.
meta gets a row of its own: the '>>' opens its user groups as checkboxes and
its position as x and y, since typing 822411269 into a field sets neither.
Save writes only the rows that moved, as one undoable SlotValueCommand, and
refuses the lot if any row fails its range check. An edited field paints the
view in the canvas's own dirty tint, and every way of leaving asks before
discarding.
The file name on the tree's root row goes red while anything is unwritten,
counting both a dirty document and unsaved fields. Two things this needed:
the nav tree runs on its own style, because a themed Treeview's selected
foreground beats a row tag's; and the tag is added to or removed from the row
rather than recoloured, because reconfiguring a tag does not repaint rows that
are already drawn.
Also fixes a latent hazard the panel exposed: Del and Backspace are bound
application-wide, so they now stand down while a text field has focus rather
than deleting the component behind it.
