Braid and Strand Camera developer documentation

This page collects documentation for researchers and developers who want to integrate with or contribute to the Straw Lab's tracking software. It emphasizes project-owned interfaces; the generated Rust documentation also contains many third-party dependencies that are useful as references but are not part of the lab's scientific discovery strategy.
