Implement pick-to-light zone assignment and light-off confirmation using a Lightways or Numeric pick-to-light controller API

Steps

1. Establish a TCP socket or REST session to the pick-to-light controller gateway; authenticate with the configured API key or basic credentials provided by the controller vendor
2. Send a light-on command for each pick location in the active wave: include the zone ID, bay address, quantity to pick, and an order reference; the controller illuminates the display at that bay
3. Poll or subscribe to confirmation events from the controller; when a picker presses the confirm button at a lit bay, the controller sends a pick-confirm message containing the zone, bay, quantity confirmed, and operator badge ID
4. Validate the confirmed quantity against the expected pick quantity; if quantities differ, send a quantity-mismatch command to relight the bay with the residual quantity and increment a short-pick counter for the order
5. Send a light-off command for all bays in the zone once the full order pick is confirmed; send a put-to-light command to the induction sorter divert controller to route the consolidated tote to the correct shipping lane
6. Record pick confirmation events with timestamp, operator badge, bay address, and actual quantity picked; feed these back to the WMS order management module to update pick task completion status
