simple-websocket 1.1.0's receive(timeout=N) returns None on timeout
instead of raising TimeoutError. The handler treated None as
"connection closed" and broke out of the loop, causing Werkzeug to
write its HTTP 200 response on the still-open WebSocket socket.
The browser saw those HTTP bytes as an invalid WebSocket frame.
Now checks ws.connected to distinguish timeout (None + connected)
from actual close (None + not connected).

The fft_reader thread was calling ws.send() concurrently with
ws.receive() in the main loop. simple-websocket is not thread-safe
for simultaneous read/write, corrupting frame headers. Now the reader
thread enqueues frames and only the main loop touches the WebSocket.

Replace the batch rtl_power SSE pipeline with continuous I/Q streaming
via WebSocket for smooth ~25fps waterfall display. The server captures
raw I/Q samples (rtl_sdr/rx_sdr), computes Hann-windowed FFT, and
sends compact binary frames (1035 bytes vs ~15KB JSON, 93% reduction).
Client falls back to existing SSE path if WebSocket is unavailable.
