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.

Resolved conflict in static/js/modes/weather-satellite.js:
- Kept allPasses state variable and applyPassFilter() for satellite pass filtering
- Kept satellite select dropdown listener for filter feature
- Adopted upstream's optimistic stop() UI pattern for better responsiveness
- Kept optional chaining (pass?.trajectory) since drawPolarPlot can receive null

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.

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

- Make stopAprs() async and await backend stop completion before
re-enabling the Start button, preventing race where a late stop
request kills newly started processes
- Add cache-buster param to EventSource URL to prevent browser
SSE connection reuse between stop/start cycles
- Capture aprs_active_device locally in stream_aprs_output so the
old thread's finally block doesn't release a device claimed by
a new session

Replace hardcoded rtl_fm with SDRFactory abstraction layer so WeFax works
with any supported SDR hardware, matching the pattern used by APRS and
other modes. RTL-SDR direct sampling flag preserved for HF reception.

Number(null) evaluates to 0 which passes Number.isFinite(),
causing aprsHasValidCoordinates(null, null) to return true.
This made initAprsMap() center the map at [0,0] (Gulf of Guinea)
at zoom 8 instead of the US default, hiding all station markers
off-screen.
Add null guards (lat != null && lon != null) to reject null/undefined
while still accepting 0 as a valid equator coordinate.

Add flex-shrink: 0 to .section, .run-btn, and .stop-btn so flex
children maintain natural height and the sidebar scrolls instead
of compressing content on 1080p displays.

The default 1 MHz sample rate was too low for SatDump's meteor_m2-x_lrpt
pipeline, causing NOSYNC and 0.000dB SNR. Bumped to 2.4 MHz (SatDump
recommendation) and wired up the WEATHER_SAT_SAMPLE_RATE config value
so it actually gets passed to decoder.start() from both the auto-scheduler
and manual start route.

Timer threads now log on fire and catch all exceptions so scheduled
captures never die silently. Frontend connects SSE when the scheduler
is enabled (not only on manual Start) and polls /wefax/status every 10s
as a fallback so the UI stays in sync with auto-fired captures.
