State machine of the fringe tracker. There are only three states: IDLE, SEARCHING, and TRACKING. The blue transitions are commands from the operator. The gray transitions are automatic decisions. Switching from searching to tracking only depends on the rank of the matrix. If GRAVITY is running in a degraded mode, the TRACKING transition can happen for a rank of 2 or even 1.
