Bidirectional Apache Labs Andromeda/G2 front-panel protocol on top of CAT.
Panel logic lives in dedicated units; existing files get only thin hooks.
New units:
- AndromedaMap.pas — data only: action enums + default button/encoder
layout tables and LED (ZZZI) numbers (mirroring the Thetis defaults)
- AndromedaPanel.pas — TAndromedaPanel: inbound panel events -> controller
actions (marshalled via Invoke), state subscription -> ZZZI push via SendProc
Hooks:
- CATEngine: parse ZZZD/ZZZU/ZZZE/ZZZP/ZZZS into generic TCATContext callbacks
- CATAdapter: creates the panel, routes engine callbacks to it, supplies the
SendProc to the Andromeda port, AddStateListener, ZZZS handshake
- CATSerial: Andromeda flag in port config + HasAndromeda/SendToAndromeda
- RadioController: AddStateListener (multicast, does not steal MainForm's
OnStateChanged)
- Settings/SettingsForm/MainForm: CATSerialAndromeda[0..3] + persistence + checkbox
First version: serial transport, hardcoded default mapping, LED indicators
(MOX/Tune/CTUN/VFO A-B/Split/NB/NR/SNB/ANF/Squelch). Doc: doc/ANDROMEDA.md.
TODO: default button mapping does not match the physical panel (hardcoded) —
to be fixed later; also ZZMF/LCD text, TCP G2V2 transport, configurable mapping.

New units: CATEngine (Kenwood + Thetis ZZ* commands), CATSerial
(up to 4 serial ports), CATTcp (multi-client TCP server on port 4992).
MainForm wired with TCATContext callbacks reusing existing WebOn* handlers.
SettingsForm gets a new CAT tab with 4 serial port groups and TCP section.
Settings.pas extended with CAT config fields (per-device, JSON-persisted).
