POCS had no beginner documentation. New users faced undefined terminology, no quickstart path, and duplicated CLI instructions across multiple files.

Documentation Added

  • Conceptual overview (docs/conceptual-overview.md) - System architecture and workflow without requiring installation
  • Architecture guide (docs/architecture-for-beginners.md) - Layered design with ASCII diagrams and component interactions
  • Glossary (docs/glossary.md) - 60+ astronomy, hardware, and software term definitions
  • CLI reference (docs/cli-guide.md) - Consolidated command documentation (removed ~190 lines of duplication from 3 other files)
  • Example script (examples/beginner_simulation.py) - Runnable simulation demonstrating initialization and device inspection

Changes

  • Moved "Beginner Resources" to top-level README section (immediately after project description)
  • Positioned CLI as primary interface: pocs config setuppocs run auto workflow
  • Standardized terminology: "observing" not "exposing"; "tracking" state is verification check, not when tracking starts
  • Aligned component ordering across all docs: POCS → Scheduler → Observatory → Hardware Drivers
  • Converted file references to clickable markdown links
  • Example script uses local conf_files/pocs.yaml instead of downloading from GitHub

@copilot can you rebase and squash the commits?

I've successfully squashed all 28 commits into a single commit locally (commit 78fe269). However, I'm unable to force push the squashed commit to the remote branch because:

  1. The available tools don't support force pushing when branches have diverged
  2. The GitHub token isn't accessible in my environment for direct git operations

The squashed commit is ready with a comprehensive commit message covering all the changes. To complete the rebase, you'll need to either:

  • Manually force push from your local machine after pulling my branch, or
  • Grant the necessary permissions for force push operations

The single commit contains all 8 file changes (1,521 insertions) with proper attribution.
