Add ACARS label translation, message classification, and field parsers
so decoded messages show human-readable descriptions instead of raw
label codes (H1, DF, _d, 5Z, etc.). Integrate translated ACARS
messages into the ADS-B aircraft detail panel and add a live message
feed to the standalone ACARS mode.
- New utils/acars_translator.py with ~50 label codes, type classifier,
and parsers for position reports, engine data, weather, and OOOI
- Enrich messages at ingest in routes/acars.py with translation fields
- Backfill translation in /adsb/aircraft/<icao>/messages endpoint
- ADS-B dashboard: DATALINK MESSAGES section in aircraft detail panel
with auto-refresh, color-coded type badges, and parsed field display
- Standalone ACARS mode: scrollable live message feed (max 30 cards)
- Fix default N. America ACARS frequencies to 131.550/130.025/129.125
- Unit tests covering all translator functions

The slant correction was severely under-correcting because bwd=50 caused
the sync deviation measurements to saturate after only ~25 lines (for a
2-sample/line SDR clock drift). Lines 25-256 all reported deviation=-50,
pulling the linear regression slope toward zero.
Increase bwd and fwd to 800 samples each — sufficient to track cumulative
drift from up to ~±200 ppm SDR clock offset across the full 256-line image.
Also use a full-sync-length (432-sample) Goertzel window instead of 1/3
length, giving ~111 Hz frequency resolution to cleanly separate the 1200 Hz
sync tone from 1500 Hz pixel data. Search is stepped at 5 samples (~0.1 ms)
for efficiency, keeping the goertzel_batch batch size at ~320 windows/line.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previous attempts to correct slant by altering R-channel placement and
buffer consumption caused cascading failures: a false positive in B pixel
data would misplace R, then the wrong consumed value misaligned the next
line's G, and the error compounded across all 256 lines.
New approach (safe by design):
- Sync search is measurement-only: never touches pos or consumed, so
a noisy or wrong measurement cannot corrupt the current or future lines.
- Per-line deviation (measured sync position minus expected) is recorded
in self._sync_deviations throughout the decode.
- get_image() fits a line through the deviations (linear regression) to
estimate the per-line SDR clock drift rate, then applies a horizontal
shear to the assembled PIL image: each row is shifted by
-round(row × drift_rate × width / channel_samples) pixels.
- Worst case (all measurements fail): no correction applied, image
quality identical to the pre-change baseline.

The step-49 coarse scan introduced up to ±24 sample uncertainty in R
channel placement. When accumulated SDR clock drift pushed the actual
sync 35+ samples early in the search region, the step-49 windows could
land on the B-pixel tail and return position 0, misplacing R by ~50
samples (~16 pixel colour shift) — worse than no correction at all.
Replace with a vectorised goertzel_batch sliding-window scan at step=1
over a short window (sync_duration / 3 ≈ 3 ms), giving single-sample
accuracy. Use consumed=pos (instead of max(pos,line_samples)) when the
sync is found, so the next line starts at its correct separator and
per-line timing errors stop accumulating entirely.
Falls back to the fixed-offset path whenever the sync is not found
(e.g. noisy signal), preserving the pre-change baseline quality.

The previous sync search used search_margin = line_samples/10 (~306
samples for Scottie2), reaching deep into B channel pixel data behind
pos and well past the expected sync end ahead of pos.
When _find_sync returned a position in the late portion of that wide
region, pos + R_channel_samples exceeded the buffer length. The
buffer-too-short guard in _decode_line then returned early without
consuming data or advancing the line counter, causing the stall guard
in feed() to permanently break the decode loop.
Fix: use a 50-sample backward margin (covers >130 ppm SDR drift) and
a forward margin capped to whatever the current buffer can safely
support for the R channel. A final candidate-position check before
committing pos ensures no overflow is possible.

Scottie modes place their horizontal sync pulse between the Blue and Red
channels. The decoder was using a fixed offset to skip over it, so any
SDR clock error accumulated line-by-line and produced a visible diagonal
slant in the decoded image.
Fix: search for the actual 1200 Hz sync pulse in a ±10% window around
the expected position before decoding the Red channel, then align to the
real pulse. This resets accumulated clock drift on every scanline, the
same way Martin and Robot modes already handle their front-of-line sync.

Fix wrong VIS codes for PD90 (96→99), PD120 (93→95), PD180 (95→97),
PD240 (113→96), and ScottieDX (55→76). This caused PD180 to be detected
as PD90 and PD120 to fail entirely.
Replace batch Goertzel pixel decoding with analytic signal (Hilbert
transform) FM demodulation. The Goertzel approach used 96-sample windows
with ~500 Hz resolution — wider than the 800 Hz pixel frequency range —
making accurate pixel decoding impossible for fast modes like Martin2
and Scottie2. The Hilbert method computes per-sample instantaneous
frequency, matching the approach used by QSSTV and other professional
SSTV decoders.

Tolerate intermittent ambiguous windows during leader detection (up to
3 consecutive misses), use energy-based break detection when tone
classification fails at leader-break boundary, and add single-bit VIS
error correction for parity-bit and data-bit corruption on noisy HF.

VIS detection recognized these modes but ALL_MODES had no decoder specs,
causing silent decode failures on common HF frequencies like 14.230 MHz.
Also emit a user-visible SSE event when an unsupported VIS code is detected.

The previous fix (f29ae3d) introduced a regression: when VIS parity
check failed or the VIS code was unrecognized, the detector entered
DETECTED state permanently and never resumed scanning. Now it resets
to IDLE on validation failure and only enters DETECTED on success.
Also resets partial image progress counter between consecutive decodes
and adds SDR device claiming to general SSTV route to prevent conflicts.

VISDetector._process_window() was calling self.reset() inside the
STOP_BIT handler, wiping self._buffer before feed() could advance
past the triggering window. All audio samples buffered after the
VIS STOP_BIT (the start of the first scan line) were silently
discarded, causing the image decoder to begin decoding mid-stream
with no alignment reference. The result was every scan line being
desynchronised from the first, producing the diagonal stripes and
scrambled colours seen in decoded images.
Fix: remove the premature reset() from _process_window(). The
STOP_BIT handler now sets state=DETECTED and returns the result.
A new remaining_buffer property exposes the post-VIS samples.
_decode_audio_stream() and decode_file() capture those samples
before calling reset(), then immediately feed them into the newly
created SSTVImageDecoder so decoding begins from sample 0 of
the first sync pulse.

If dump1090-mutability was installed by a previous run and later
removed (e.g. by apt removing it as a reverse dep), the symlink at
/usr/local/sbin/dump1090 is left pointing at a non-existent target.
cmd_exists finds the broken symlink and treats dump1090 as installed,
so the real install is skipped and running dump1090 gives
"No such file or directory".
Before the install check, resolve the command path and delete it if
it exists in PATH but is not executable (broken symlink).

The apt-removal approach caused cascading failures: removing librtlsdr0
swept out dump1090-mutability and other reverse deps, then source builds
reinstalled librtlsdr-dev (pulling librtlsdr0 back), and the dump1090
subshell crashed because kill "" (empty progress_pid after progress_pid=)
returned non-zero and fired the global ERR trap.
Switch to a targeted ldconfig priority file instead:
- Write /etc/ld.so.conf.d/00-local-first.conf containing /usr/local/lib
- Files named 00-* sort before aarch64-linux-gnu.conf alphabetically,
so ldconfig lists /usr/local/lib/librtlsdr.so.0 (Blog) first
- apt librtlsdr0, rtl-sdr, dump1090-mutability etc. are never touched
- Source build functions keep their unconditional apt_install librtlsdr-dev
Also fix the dump1090 EXIT trap: guard kill/wait against empty
progress_pid so it does not fire the ERR trap after a clean exit 0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The global ERR trap (trap 'on_error $LINENO' ERR) fires on any non-zero
exit. After `kill $progress_pid`, `wait $progress_pid` returns 143
(128+SIGTERM), triggering the trap and aborting the build even when
make itself succeeded. Add `|| true` to all five wait calls in
install_dump1090_from_source_debian (inline and EXIT trap).

When Blog drivers are installed, apt rtl-sdr/librtlsdr0/librtlsdr-dev
are removed to ensure the Blog library in /usr/local/lib is the only
one ldconfig sees. But four source-build functions each called
`apt_install librtlsdr-dev`, which re-pulled librtlsdr0 from apt and
immediately re-shadowed the Blog library.
Fix: each function now checks `pkg-config --exists librtlsdr` first;
if the Blog drivers (or any other /usr/local install) already provide
the headers and .pc file the apt install is skipped entirely.
Also add a post-removal guard in install_rtlsdr_blog_drivers_debian:
after apt removes librtlsdr0 it may silently sweep out dump1090-mutability
as a reverse dep. The guard detects this and rebuilds dump1090 from
source immediately, using the Blog drivers' headers via pkg-config.
Affected functions:
- install_dump1090_from_source_debian
- install_acarsdec_from_source_debian
- install_dumpvdl2_from_source_debian
- install_aiscatcher_from_source_debian

Removing only the rtl-sdr binary package left librtlsdr0 (the library)
installed at /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/librtlsdr.so.0. ldconfig lists the
multiarch path before /usr/local/lib, so even the Blog driver binary
(/usr/local/bin/rtl_test) was loading the old apt library — which has
no R828D/V4 tuner support — causing the PLL-not-locked / deaf dongle
symptom.
Now remove rtl-sdr, librtlsdr0, and librtlsdr-dev together so the only
librtlsdr.so.0 in the ldconfig cache is the Blog drivers' copy in
/usr/local/lib.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two bugs caused RTL-SDR dongles to be deaf after setup on Raspberry Pi:
1. The apt `rtl-sdr` package was left installed alongside the Blog
drivers, creating a binary/library ambiguity. Anything linking or
calling the apt binaries in /usr/bin used the non-V4-aware library
from /usr/lib instead of the Blog drivers in /usr/local. Fix: remove
the apt package immediately after a successful Blog driver build.
2. `blacklist_kernel_drivers_debian` returned early with "already
present" without ever running `modprobe -r`, so dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
could remain loaded and hold the device in DVB mode (rtl_test sees
the USB device but the tuner is unconfigured). Fix: always run the
module unload loop regardless of whether the blacklist file is new.
Also add `update-initramfs -u` so the blacklist survives reboots.

The previous logic installed rtl-sdr via apt first, then gated the Blog
driver install on cmd_exists rtl_test — which was always true, so V4
drivers were never installed. Replace with a yes/no prompt (default y,
backward-compatible) guarded by IS_DRAGONOS for pre-configured distros.

The .icon base class (global-nav.css) forces display:inline-flex and
width/height of 18-20px, overriding the intended 48px size and causing

Override with display:block, explicit 48px dimensions, and auto margins
