Hello and a first small Visualizer fix

Hi all, I am a Boston-based engineer and new to lab automation. I am learning PyLabRobot by contributing, starting with small fixes. I work with an AI coding agent, it does the implementation and I review and test everything personally before anything goes out.

My first planned fix is a small Visualizer regression: the 2D page no longer draws tracks on STAR and STARlet decks, because it reads num_rails while those decks serialize num_tracks. An issue and a small PR will follow.

One question: the docs pages I would like to help with such as the Visualizer guide, teach the v0 LiquidHandler. Should new docs keep teaching that or wait for v1 guidance?

Thanks for making this!
