GroundStation facilities do not function as CommNet ground stations in KSP 1.12.x

[mtpsms]

Environment

• KSP: 1.12.x
• Kerbal Konstructs: 1.12.2.0 (installed via CKAN)
• CommNet: Stock (not RemoteTech)
• Career Mode

Description

GroundStation facilities can be created and configured in Kerbal Konstructs, but they never function as active CommNet ground stations.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Place a static with Kerbal Konstructs.
2. Add a Facility.
3. Set the Facility Type to GroundStation.
4. Set a non-zero tracking range.
5. Save the instance.
6. Launch a vessel that should be within range.

Expected Behavior

The GroundStation should act as a stock CommNet ground station and provide a network connection.

Actual Behavior

The GroundStation never becomes an active CommNet station. It appears in the KK UI, but provides no CommNet connectivity.

Additional Information

I also reviewed the source code and found that:

GroundStation.SetOpen() calls ConnectionManager.AttachGroundStation().
ConnectionManager.AddCommNetStation() creates a KKCommNetHome and calls CommNetNetwork.Reset().

However, in-game the station never provides CommNet connectivity.

Is this a known regression with KSP 1.12.x, or is the GroundStation feature currently incomplete?

Is this feature currently expected to work with stock CommNet in KSP 1.12.x, or has it become non-functional due to API changes?
