b014205a5b macOS: raw-TSPL Urovo daemon — no vendor SDK needed
ASSESSMENT.md §7 assumed the RFID encode was locked inside the Windows-only
GTSPL_SDK.dll and would need a USBPcap sniff or the GTSPL Java jar to recover.
It didn't. The DLL is a managed .NET assembly, and its IL shows every RFID call
is a one-line String.Concat -> ASCII -> WritePrinter. Recovered from ldstr order
plus argument order, and confirmed by a second independent decompile:

    UHF WRITE H,2,12,E,"<24 hex>"    UHF READ/QUERY ...
    UHF GEN2 EPC|TID|USER|ACCESS|KILL <action>,"<pw>"
    SET RFID <tagType>,<rw_pos>,<void>,<try>,<err>,<speed>,<retry>   (dots, not mm)
    &DEFAULT,i    &CALIBRATE,A,R    PRINT <set>, <copy>

So the whole recipe is plain ASCII over the printer's bulk endpoint and ports to
macOS with no vendor binaries at all.

- mac/urovo.py   USB transport + full GTSPL command set, status decoding, the
                 ribbon-latch recovery, SKU<->EPC packing ported from daemon.cs.
- mac/label.py   PIL bitmap renderer -> TSPL BITMAP. Media-profile driven, so both
                 shop stocks work (small 51x19 and large 55x24 on the 24mm web),
                 with a safe-area inset so the design can't clip at the edges.
- mac/daemon.py  :7790 HTTP service, same routes/JSON/CORS as daemon.cs, plus a
                 /preview route that renders a label as PNG without printing one.

Verified on the bench from macOS: printer identifies (MODEL:UROVO-D812R), the
latched 0x08 "out of ribbon" clears with SET RIBBON OFF + FORMFEED, and labels
print correctly oriented and dark on the 24x55 stock.

NOT yet verified: the RFID encode itself. It is wired and the printer accepts the
command, but the loaded thermal stock has no inlays so nothing has been written to
a chip. Needs a PET RFID label at the antenna. The SKU<->EPC byte layout also
remains unconfirmed against existing Chafon-written tags.
