glorouter: reconstructing the Huawei B311-221 HiLink API

glorouter reconstructs the Huawei B311-221 router's HiLink web API in a Python CLI and local dashboard. Its protocol notes trace endpoints from served JavaScript and browser captures, including SCRAM-SHA256 login and CSRF token handling; the client exposes signal, traffic, network, SMS and USSD controls.
