feat(phases 2-7): implement full GPS-denied navigation pipeline

Phase 2 — Visual Odometry:
  - ORBVisualOdometry (dev/CI), CuVSLAMVisualOdometry (Jetson)
  - TRTInferenceEngine (TensorRT FP16, conditional import)
  - create_vo_backend() factory

Phase 3 — Satellite Matching + GPR:
  - SatelliteDataManager: local z/x/y tiles, ESKF ±3σ tile selection
  - GSD normalization (SAT-03), RANSAC inlier-ratio confidence (SAT-04)
  - GlobalPlaceRecognition: Faiss index + numpy fallback

Phase 4 — MAVLink I/O:
  - MAVLinkBridge: GPS_INPUT 15+ fields, IMU callback, 1Hz telemetry
  - 3-consecutive-failure reloc request
  - MockMAVConnection for CI

Phase 5 — Pipeline Wiring:
  - ESKF wired into process_frame: VO update → satellite update
  - CoordinateTransformer + SatelliteDataManager via DI
  - MAVLink state push per frame (PIPE-07)
  - Real pixel_to_gps via ray-ground projection (PIPE-06)
  - GTSAM ISAM2 update when available (PIPE-03)

Phase 6 — Docker + CI:
  - Multi-stage Dockerfile (python:3.11-slim)
  - docker-compose.yml (dev), docker-compose.sitl.yml (ArduPilot SITL)
  - GitHub Actions: ci.yml (lint+pytest+docker smoke), sitl.yml (nightly)
  - tests/test_sitl_integration.py (8 tests, skip without SITL)

Phase 7 — Accuracy Validation:
  - AccuracyBenchmark + SyntheticTrajectory
  - AC-PERF-1: 80% within 50m ✅
  - AC-PERF-2: 60% within 20m ✅
  - AC-PERF-3: p95 latency < 400ms ✅
  - AC-PERF-4: VO drift 1km < 100m ✅ (actual ~11m)
  - scripts/benchmark_accuracy.py CLI

Tests: 195 passed / 8 skipped

 # GPS-Denied Onboard
 
-Сервіс геолокалізації знімків БПЛА в умовах відсутності GPS-сигналу.
+Бортова система GPS-denied навігації для фіксованого крила БПЛА на Jetson Orin Nano Super.
 
-Система використовує візуальну одометрію (VO), співставлення з супутниковими картами (cross-view matching) та оптимізацію траєкторії через фактор-графи для визначення координат дрона в реальному часі.
+Замінює GPS-сигнал власною оцінкою позиції на основі відеопотоку (cuVSLAM), IMU та супутникових знімків. Позиція подається у польотний контролер ArduPilot у форматі `GPS_INPUT` через MAVLink при 5–10 Гц.

+
+1. Офлайн завантаження тайлів для зони місії → `{tile_dir}/z/x/y.png`
+2. Конвертація моделей: LiteSAM/XFeat PyTorch → ONNX → TRT FP16
+3. Запуск SITL: `docker compose -f docker-compose.sitl.yml up`
+4. Польотні дані: записати GPS + відео → порівняти ESKF-траєкторію з ground truth
+5. Калібрування: camera intrinsics + IMU noise density для конкретного апарату
