Ground Stations

Manages the shared ground station catalogue used across this repo — the same catalogue ops-orbit-propagator's --station flag resolves against. The catalogue has two layers:

• Built-in stations — bootstrapped at import time from the committed seed file skills/ops-ground-stations-catalogue/data/ground_stations_catalogue.json (ESAC, ESOC, ESRIN, Kiruna, Maspalomas, Cebreros, New Norcia, Malargue, Goldstone, Canberra DSS, Madrid DSS, Kourou, Cape Canaveral SFS, Vandenberg SFB, TU Graz — plus their aliases, e.g. ksc→Cape Canaveral SFS, dss14→Goldstone). These can never be overwritten or removed by add; change them only by editing that seed file in a PR.
• Added stations — anything registered with add is persisted to skills/ops-ground-stations-catalogue/data/custom_ground_stations.json (gitignored, machine-local), so it's immediately visible to any later ops-orbit-propagator invocation and future runs of this script — no restart needed.

All catalogue data lives inside this skill's own data/ directory — nothing is stored elsewhere in the repo.

add rejects a name or alias that already exists in either layer, so built-ins are always safe from collision.
