🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Refreshing the Test Your Station page no longer bypasses the check that the
station belongs to the current workspace. Adds the 4.3.0 release-notes section
with that bug fix under Workstation Management.
…rement

Turning off developer mode now requires Workstation licenses. Documents the
rule in the Developer Mode section of Managing Stations, qualifies the existing
production recommendation, and adds the 4.3.0 Improvements bullet.
Camera is a new device connection type in Workstation Management. Adds a
Camera section to Configuring Devices with the configuration steps and
connection parameters, and the 4.3.0 New Features bullet.
…stics

Workstation Management can now retrieve the diagnostics of the Workstation
Client for a station. Adds a Client Diagnostics section to Managing Stations,
cross-links it from Troubleshooting the Workstation Client, and adds the 4.3.0
New Features bullets for Workstation Management and Workstation Client.
…tion

Applies the docs style guide and the repository's Vale and markdownlint rules
to the 4.3.0 documentation on this branch. No changes to structure, meaning or
technical claims.

Card readers can now be configured as devices of a station, identified by the
name of the card reader. Rewrites the Card Readers section of Configuring
Devices, updates Detect Card Readers in Managing Stations, and adds the 4.3.0
New Features bullet.
Adds the 4.3.0 Bug Fixes bullet for local users whose email address contains
uppercase letters.
The Workstation Client now encrypts its API key with the secret store of the
operating system. Adds the 4.3.0 Improvements bullet, a Secret Store system
requirement, a keyring note for Linux bulk registration, and troubleshooting
sections for an unavailable secret store and for registering the Client again.
Documents camera support in the Workstation Client, including barcode and
motion detection, the camera message syntax and the supported barcode
types. Adds a Testing Devices section to Using the Workstation Client,
including the camera test buttons, clarifies the Camera Name parameter in
Configuring Devices, and adds the 4.3.0 release notes.
- more accurate description of what was fixed on Test your Station
- consistently simple past
Reduces the 4.3.0 release-notes bullets to what was added or changed and
links to the reference pages for usage details.

…unctions

Workstation Commons now offers every device operation as a request, which
waits for the device response, and as a message sent without waiting. It
adds camera functions for barcode scanning and motion detection, printing
functions for plain text, raw printer commands and PDF documents, functions
that parse received device messages into objects, and Base64 helpers.

Rewrites the Device Utils section of Workstation Commons with the renamed
functions, guidance on choosing between requests and messages, and new
Camera, Printer, Parsing Messages and General Utils sections. Removes the
smart card reader function, which is no longer part of the module, and
updates the device card snippet description. Updates the Bluetooth function
names in Device Message Syntax, and adds the Workstation Commons section to
the 4.3.0 release notes, including the breaking changes.
