  Apollo Uplink Command Encoder

  Converts high-level DSKY commands into AGC INLINK word sequences
  suitable for delivery via the AGC Bridge block.

  Accepts command PDUs with metadata containing:
    "type": "VERB", "NOUN", "DATA", or "PROCEED"
    "data": integer value (verb/noun number or data word)

  Emits one PDU per keystroke in the encoded sequence.
  For example, V37 emits 3 PDUs: VERB key, digit 3, digit 7.

  Connect the uplink_words output to the AGC Bridge uplink_data input.

  Parameters:
    channel: AGC I/O channel for uplink (default 37 = octal 045 INLINK)
