Strong passes at 40 dB (the previous default) cause RTL-SDR ADC clipping,
producing a distorted IQ stream that SatDump cannot lock onto. 30 dB is
a safer starting point that still captures weak passes cleanly.
Also adds a UI hint below the gain control explaining the saturation issue.
Closes#185
Remove the split fast-path in doLocateHandoff that called BtLocate.handoff()
directly when the module was already loaded. That path relied on handoff()
internally calling switchMode, causing a double switchMode in the lazy-load
path and no guaranteed mode switch in the fast path.
Now doLocateHandoff always calls switchMode('bt_locate') first (lazy-loading
script/styles as needed), then calls BtLocate.handoff() in .then(). Removed
the redundant switchMode call from BtLocate.handoff() since the caller owns
the mode transition.

Replaces the requestAnimationFrame loop in proximity-radar.js with a
CSS @keyframes rotation on .bt-radar-sweep, mirroring the WiFi radar
pattern. Adds two trailing arc paths for a glow effect and updates
setPaused() to toggle animationPlayState instead of the rAF flag.

Replace static channel bar chart and security dots with a scrolling
2.4 GHz channel heatmap (up to 10 scan snapshots) and an SVG donut
security ring showing WPA2/WPA3/WEP/Open network distribution.
Replaces the 7-column <table> network list with flex div rows featuring
two-line layout (SSID + security badges on top, signal bar + meta on
bottom), coloured left-border threat indicators, and new sort controls.
Renames selectedNetwork → selectedBssid and updateNetworkTable → renderNetworks throughout wifi.js.

The updateHeaderClock function in index.html was inlined and still using
raw UTC (toISOString), while nav.html's version used InterceptTime.
Both ran on 1-second intervals updating the same element, causing the
clock to rapidly alternate between ET and UTC.
Fix: Updated the inline version in index.html to use InterceptTime,
matching nav.html. Added _navClockStarted guard and onChange listener
so only one interval runs and timezone changes apply instantly.

app.js and nav.html both started 1-second intervals updating the same
#headerUtcTime element. Even though both used InterceptTime, their
slightly different timing caused visible text flicker.
Fix: app.js now sets window._navClockStarted before starting its
interval, so nav.html's guard condition skips its duplicate. Also
register InterceptTime.onChange listener in app.js for instant updates.

Timezone fixes:
- Add utils.js (InterceptTime) to adsb_dashboard.html — was completely
missing, causing all times to fall back to UTC regardless of setting
- Register onChange listener in nav.html so clock updates instantly
when timezone/format is changed in Settings
- Initialize timezone/format dropdowns on ADS-B dashboard page load
- Browser-verified: ET/12h ↔ UTC/24h switches instantly on ADS-B page
VDL2 correlation fix:
- Force ICAO hex to uppercase when promoting from VDL2 src.addr (dumpvdl2
may output lowercase, ADS-B stores uppercase — case mismatch prevented
correlator from matching)
- Move ICAO/addr promotion before ACARS field extraction so even
non-ACARS VDL2 frames (XID, connection mgmt) get correlated
Auth:
- Add INTERCEPT_DISABLE_AUTH env var to skip login for local/dev use
- Configurable via docker-compose.yml environment

Root cause: dumpvdl2 outputs nested JSON (vdl2.avlc.acars.flight) but
FlightCorrelator only checks top-level fields. VDL2 messages were stored
in the correlator but never matched to any aircraft.
Fix: Promote identifying fields (flight, reg, tail, icao, addr, label,
text) from the nested VDL2 structure to top-level before storing in the
correlator. Also promote AVLC source address as ICAO when src.type is
"Aircraft".
Also fix VDL2 sidebar timestamps to use global InterceptTime setting.

Global time preferences (Settings > Display > Time & Timezone):
- InterceptTime utility in core/utils.js with timezone + 12h/24h support
- Timezone options: UTC, Local, Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific
- Time format: 12-hour (AM/PM) or 24-hour toggle
- Defaults to US/Eastern + 12-hour
- Header nav clock updates to use selected timezone and format
- Weather satellite mode delegates to global InterceptTime
- Settings persist via localStorage, change listeners notify all modes
Weather satellite improvements:
- Satellite dropdown defaults to "All Meteor Satellites" showing all passes
- Can still filter to specific satellite (M2-3, M2-4, M2-4-80K)
- Capture button on pass cards auto-selects the correct satellite

- Fix duration display (was showing seconds labeled as minutes)
- Enhanced pass cards with AOS/LOS times, bearings, and directions
- Add REFRESH button in passes panel header
- Better empty state with clear "set your location" prompt and icon
Countdown and visual:
- Pulse animation on countdown when pass is imminent or active

Mounting ./data:/app/data caused the host directory to shadow the
entire /app/data Python package, making modules like data.oui
unavailable and crashing gunicorn on startup. Mount only the three
runtime output subdirectories instead.

- Access module-level _sweep_running, _current_sweep_id, and tscm_queue
via explicit package import to avoid UnboundLocalError from closure
variable shadowing in route handlers
- Remove orphaned tscmProgressBar.style.width assignment in index.html

- Fix deep scan with 'All bands' never scanning 5GHz: band='all' now
correctly passes --band abg to airodump-ng (previously no flag was
added, causing airodump-ng to default to 2.4GHz-only)
- Fix APs first seen without channel info permanently stuck at
band='unknown': _update_access_point now backfills channel, frequency,
and band when a subsequent observation resolves the channel
- Fix legacy /wifi/scan/start combining mutually exclusive --band and -c
flags: --band is now only added when no explicit channel list is given,
and the interface is always placed as the last argument

When using a remote SBS feed, no local SDR is needed. The pre-flight
device conflict check was running regardless and stopping whichever
mode had the selected SDR device claimed — even though ADS-B remote
mode never touches a local SDR. Skip the conflict check when remoteConfig is set.
check_tools() was using cmd_exists on 'auto_rx.py' which fails because
it's never in PATH — installed to /opt/radiosonde_auto_rx/. Now uses
the same file-based check as tool_is_installed(), consistent with
health check and status view.
Precise calculation showed mission-drawer (~1100px) was 213px taller
than command-rail content (~887px), leaving 213px of empty background
at the bottom of the right column.
Three targeted reductions to mission-drawer height (~234px total):
- drawer-actions: stacked 1-column → 3-column row (-76px)
- drawer-list: max-height 240px → 180px (-40px)
- drawer-info-grid: 1-column → 2-column for Quick Info (-118px)
Mission-drawer drops to ~866px, command-rail (~887px) now drives the
primary-layout row height — gap closes.

The command-rail's 1fr last row caused the sky view panel to fill all
remaining column height (driven by the tall mission-drawer), showing a
large empty bordered space below the pass data strip.
Switch to all-auto rows with align-content: start so each panel is
exactly as tall as its content — the open background below the column
looks intentional rather than a panel with dead space inside it.

- Remove 'METEOR-M2' (NORAD 40069) from WEATHER_SAT_KEYS — it has no
entry in WEATHER_SATELLITES and no dropdown option, so the Capture
button was silently scheduling against the wrong satellite
- Dispatch a 'change' event after setting satSelect.value in preSelect()
and startPass() so any UI listeners (frequency display, mode info)
update correctly when the satellite is set programmatically

1fr in the grid row caused the panel to fill the entire remaining page
height on mobile (~1000px+), leaving large gaps around the centred content.
max-height: min(55vh, 520px) keeps it proportionate on any screen size.
Also switch to justify-content: flex-start so the canvas+strip pack at
the top rather than floating in the middle of a large void.

Fills the empty space below the sky view circle with a compact
three-column AOS / TCA / LOS readout (time + azimuth/elevation)
and a duration + max elevation footer line.
Populated by drawPolarPlot() when a pass is selected; shows a
