Replace rtl_fm/rtl_433 with rtl_sdr for raw IQ capture when available,
enabling a Python IQ processor to compute FFT for the waterfall while
simultaneously feeding decoded data to multimon-ng (pager) or rtl_433
(sensor). Falls back to the legacy pipeline when rtl_sdr is unavailable.

- Skip unnecessary 1s USB release delay when no processes were active
- Remove racy fresh=1 pipeline restart from stream endpoint

Stream threads for sensor, pager, acars, rtlamr, dmr, and dsc modes
never called release_sdr_device() when their SDR process crashed,
leaving devices permanently locked in the registry. Also fixes orphaned
companion processes (rtl_fm, rtl_tcp) not being killed on crash, start
path failures leaking processes, DMR stop handler missing lock, and
listening post/audio websocket pkill nuking all system-wide rtl_fm
processes. Wires up register_process()/unregister_process() so the
atexit/signal cleanup safety net actually works, and adds rtl_tcp,
rtl_power, rtlamr, ffmpeg to the killall endpoint.

The RiskLevel.NEEDS_REVIEW enum value was 'review' but the

Fix infinite CPU spin in PD120 decoding caused by a 1-sample rounding
mismatch between line_samples (24407) and the sum of sub-component
samples (24408). The feed() while loop would re-enter _decode_line()
endlessly when the buffer was too short by 1 sample. Added a stall
guard that breaks the loop when no progress is made.
Fix false "leader tone detected" in the signal monitor by requiring
the detected tone to dominate the other tone by 2x, matching the
approach already used by the VIS detector.

When the WiFi interface is down (e.g. USB adapter not activated),
scanning fails with "Network is down" errors. Now the scanner
proactively checks interface state via /sys/class/net and brings
it up using ip link (or ifconfig fallback) before attempting scans,
with a retry loop if the initial scan still fails.

The Receiver Count section had no <h3> so it didn't get collapsible

Static minZoom: 2 wasn't enough for tall containers. Now calculate

The dmrRawOutput div was rendering garbled box-drawing characters from
the dsd-fme ASCII art banner below the signal activity canvas. Remove
the div and filter banner lines (box-drawing chars, version info) in
the parser so they never become events.

The stream thread used a blocking readline() with no timeout, so once
DSD finished outputting its startup banner there were no more events
until actual signal activity. The frontend decayed to zero and appeared
dead. If DSD crashed, the synthesizer state never transitioned to
'stopped' so there was no visual or textual indication of failure.
- Use select() with 1s timeout on DSD stderr to avoid indefinite block
- Send heartbeat events every 3s while decoder is alive but idle
- Detect DSD crashes: capture exit code and remaining stderr, send as
'crashed' status with details and show notification to user
- Frontend properly transitions synthesizer to 'stopped' on process
death (was only happening on user-initiated stop)
- Increase idle breathing amplitude so LISTENING state is clearly
visible (0.12 +/- 0.06 vs old 0.05 +/- 0.035)
- Release device reservation on crash, not just user stop

DMR was missing checkDeviceAvailability/reserveDevice/releaseDevice
calls that other modes (SSTV, listening post) use, so the device
dropdown showed device 0 as available even when another process held
it. Also detect USB claim errors from rtl_fm and surface a clear
message telling the user to pick a different device.

The DSD stderr parser had regex ordering bugs that swallowed voice and
call events as bare slot events, and only matched classic dsd output
format (not dsd-fme). Unmatched lines were silently dropped, leaving
the signal activity panel with nothing to display.
- Reorder regex checks: TG/Src before voice before slot
- Support dsd-fme comma-separated format (TG: x, Src: y)
- Make bare slot regex strict (only standalone "Slot N" lines)
- Forward unmatched DSD lines as raw events for diagnostics
- Add LISTENING state to signal activity panel for raw output
- Show raw decoder output text below synthesizer canvas
- Fix test mocks for find_dsd() tuple return value

The APRS route called app_module.reserve_sdr_device() which does not
exist, causing an AttributeError that Flask returned as an HTML error
page. The frontend then failed to parse it as JSON, showing
"Unexpected token '<'" to the user. Fixed to use claim_sdr_device()
which is the correct function used by all other modes.

SSTV was not claiming/releasing SDR devices through the centralized
registry, so the device state panel always showed the device as idle
during SSTV use. Added claim_sdr_device/release_sdr_device on the
backend and reserveDevice/releaseDevice on the frontend, matching the
pattern used by all other modes.

The decode canvas was always black because nothing drew on it. Now the
backend encodes partial JPEG snapshots every 5% progress and the frontend
uses an <img> tag with in-place DOM updates instead of recreating innerHTML
on every SSE event.

Shows the current VIS detection state machine position (Idle, Leader,
Break, Start bit, Data bits, etc.) in the signal monitor. This helps
diagnose why decoding may not be starting - e.g. if the VIS detector
is stuck in Idle despite a leader tone being present, the signal may
not contain a valid VIS header.

The Doppler tracking thread emits detecting events every 5s from a
separate thread, unaware of decode state. The previous to_dict() change
included signal_level for ALL detecting events, causing the frontend to
replace the decode progress canvas with the signal monitor mid-decode.
Fix: use None as default for signal_level so only signal-metrics events
(which explicitly set the value) include the field. Also add a frontend
guard to ignore detecting events while the UI is in decoding state.

The to_dict() method was skipping signal_level when it was 0, so the
frontend never received the field and never rendered the monitor.

Three bugs preventing the live SSTV pipeline from working:
1. Race condition: self._running was set AFTER starting the decode
thread, so the thread checked the flag, found it False, and exited
immediately without ever processing audio.
2. Ghost running state: when the decode thread exited (e.g. rtl_fm
died), self._running stayed True. The decoder reported as running
but was dead, and subsequent start() calls returned without doing
anything - permanently stuck until app restart.
3. VIS detection fragility: unclassifiable windows at tone transition
boundaries (mixed energy from two tones) caused the state machine
to reset from LEADER/BREAK states back to IDLE, dropping valid
VIS headers on real signals.

slowrx is a GTK GUI app that doesn't support CLI usage, so the SSTV
decoder was silently failing. This replaces it with a pure Python
implementation using numpy and Pillow that supports Robot36/72,
Martin1/2, Scottie1/2, and PD120/180 modes via VIS header auto-detection.
Key implementation details:
- Generalized Goertzel (DTFT) for exact-frequency tone detection
- Vectorized batch Goertzel for real-time pixel decoding performance
- Overlapping analysis windows for short-window frequency estimation
- VIS header detection state machine with parity validation
- Per-line sync re-synchronization for drift tolerance

Use -o - (stdout) instead of -o /dev/null for audio output, as

dsd-fme uses different protocol flags than classic dsd (e.g. -fs for
