First-hardware acceptance check

A step-by-step checklist to run through after your first reboot, before you trust the station.

1. Open /admin/, sign in, change the default password if necessary, and confirm Allsky is running in PiSky Setup.
2. Save the observatory coordinates and keep Open-Meteo selected when Weather is enabled.
3. Open Weather and confirm current conditions appear when enabled.
4. Open Live View and confirm the camera is capturing when enabled.
5. When Aircraft is enabled, select RTL-SDR or a Mode-S Beast serial receiver in PiSky Setup, attach the receiver, save, and confirm Air Traffic begins showing locally received aircraft.
6. If using a weather station, select its guided preset, point it at the listener port shown, and confirm a recent observation.
7. Confirm / shows no administrative controls or exact receiver coordinates, and /admin/ requires a login.
8. Confirm disabled capabilities are absent from public navigation.
9. Reboot once more and verify every enabled component recovers automatically.
