The multimon-ng MORSE_CW decoder never reliably decoded characters.
Switch live decode to use the existing morse_decoder_thread() which
wraps MorseDecoder with Goertzel tone detection, adaptive thresholds,
and proper timing estimation — eliminating multimon-ng, PTY plumbing,
and the relay thread from the CW pipeline entirely.

Add bufsize=0 to Popen for raw FileIO instead of BufferedReader, and
start decoder/stderr threads immediately before sleep+poll so stdout
is read without delay — matching the working pager pattern.

BufferedReader.read(n) on non-interactive streams (Python 3.14) blocks
until the full n bytes accumulate, starving the decoder of real-time
PCM data. Use os.read() on the raw file descriptor instead, which
returns as soon as any data is available. Falls back to .read() for
file-like objects without fileno() (e.g. BytesIO in tests).

Replace select.select()+os.read() with a blocking reader thread feeding
a queue, matching pager's working pattern. The select() approach fails
to detect available data on Python 3.14's BufferedReader-wrapped pipes.

rtl_fm prints device info, tuning, and errors to stderr but the morse
route only logged these server-side. Now stderr lines are forwarded to
the morse queue as info events, displayed in a compact diagnostic log
below the scope canvas. After 10s with no audio data, the scope text
escalates to prompt the user to check the SDR log.

Replace blocking rtl_stdout.read() with select()+os.read() so the
decoder thread emits diagnostic heartbeat scope events when rtl_fm
produces no PCM data (common in direct sampling mode). Add waiting-state
rendering in the scope canvas and hide the generic placeholder/status
bar for morse mode.

Add automatic gain control (AGC) before Goertzel processing to normalize
quiet audio from direct sampling mode where the -g gain flag has no effect.
Fix broken adaptive threshold bootstrap by adding a 50-block warm-up phase
that collects magnitude statistics before seeding noise floor and signal peak.
Lower threshold ratio from 50% to 30% for better weak-CW sensitivity.

The -D flag is only available in newer rtl_fm builds. Docker and distro
packages use the older -E direct / -E direct2 flags instead, which are
universally supported.

Enable direct sampling (-D 2) for RTL-SDR at HF frequencies below 24 MHz
so rtl_fm can actually receive CW signals. Add startup health check to
detect immediate rtl_fm failures. Push stopped status event from decoder
thread on EOF so the frontend auto-resets. Add frequency placeholder and
help text. Fix stop button silently swallowing errors.

validate_frequency() defaults to 24-1766 MHz (VHF/UHF range), but Morse/CW
operates on HF bands (0.5-30 MHz). Pass explicit min/max to allow HF frequencies.

Closes#155 — users can now access settings directly from the welcome
screen without entering a mode first.

Fix "What's New" section shifting up/down on smaller screens (#157) by
isolating the logo pulse animation to its own compositing layer, stabilizing
the scrollbar gutter, and pinning the welcome container dimensions.
Morse mode improvements: relocate scope and decoded output panels to the
main content area, use shared SDR device controls, and reduce panel heights
for better layout.

Correct modulation parameters (1200 bps, 2100/1300 Hz tones), replace
invented format codes with the six ITU-defined specifiers {102, 112,
114, 116, 120, 123}, accept all valid EOS symbols (117, 122, 127),
add parser validation (format, MMSI, raw field, telecommand range),
and fix truthiness bugs that dropped zero-valued fields.

Add synchronous startup verification after Popen() — sleep 0.5s and poll
the process before returning to the caller. If SatDump exits immediately
(missing device, bad args), raise RuntimeError with the actual error
message instead of returning status: 'started'. Keep a shorter (2s) async
backup check for slower failures.
Also fix --source_id handling: omit the flag entirely when no serial number
is found instead of passing "0" which SatDump may reject. Change start()
and start_from_file() to return (bool, str|None) tuples so error messages
propagate through to the HTTP response.

Use run-btn/stop-btn classes and bottom placement instead of
btn-primary/btn-danger in a flex section, and preset-btn class
for band presets. Aligns with all other mode panels.

TSCM RF scan now auto-detects HackRF via SDRFactory and uses
hackrf_sweep as an alternative to rtl_power. Also includes
improvements to listening post, rtlamr, weather satellite,
SubGHz, Meshtastic, SSTV, WeFax, and process monitor modules.
Fixes#154

New signal mode for decoding Morse code (CW) transmissions via SDR.
Includes route blueprint, utility decoder, frontend UI, and tests.

When an error occurred with an out-of-range span (e.g. 30 MHz on
RTL-SDR), the span input kept the invalid value. Track the last
effective span from successful starts and reset the input on error.

Replace hardcoded "rtl_fm" references in wefax.py with the actual SDR
tool name so error messages correctly show "rx_fm" for non-RTL devices.
Use get_tool_path('rx_fm') in all SoapySDR command builders to match
the pattern already used for rx_sdr.

- Add pre-flight check for I/Q capture binary before spawning process
- Capture stderr from I/Q process for better error diagnostics
- Sync effective span value back to UI when backend adjusts it
- Use get_tool_path('rx_sdr') in Airspy, HackRF, LimeSDR, and SDRPlay
command builders to support custom install locations
