Pull request overview

This PR exposes an iSWAP gripper query on the Hamilton STAR backend, enabling callers to read the current gripper jaw opening width (in mm) from the raw drive encoder.

Changes:

  • Added iSWAP gripper drive conversion helpers (increments ↔ mm).
  • Added STARBackend.iswap_gripper_request_width() to query the gripper encoder via R0RG and return the width in mm.
