GWK Operator App - User Guide

This is the entry point. Sub‑sections cover installation, configuration (appdata.json), applying changes, UI/widget usage, Data Layer control, licensing, troubleshooting, and quick reference.

Purpose

Integrate a GWK Operator tool with ctrlX, provide a dashboard widget, and expose control/status through the Data Layer (single‑cycle enable behavior and result reporting).

Platform

Tested on ctrlX OS V3.6.2 (arm64 snap for Core X3, amd64 snap for Core X7).
