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.

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.

- 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.

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.

Fix silent failure when starting without station/frequency selected by
flashing amber on status text and dropdowns. Add auto-capture scheduler
that uses fixed UTC broadcast schedules from station data to
automatically start/stop WeFax decoding at broadcast times.

Implement HF radiofax decoding with custom Python DSP pipeline
(rtl_fm USB → Goertzel/Hilbert demodulation), 33-station database
with broadcast schedules, audio waveform scope, live image preview,
and decoded image gallery. Amber/gold UI theme for HF distinction.

- Remove profiles: [basic] from intercept service so docker compose up -d
works without --profile flag (fixes breaking change for existing deployments)
- Add missing Any import to routes/acars.py and routes/vdl2.py
- Reset last_message_time to None in ACARS and VDL2 clear endpoints
- Restore 131.725 and 131.825 to default ACARS frequencies (major US carriers)
- Copy VDL2 ACARS enrichment fields to top-level data dict instead of mutating
nested acars_payload (consistent with ACARS route pattern)

The shared audio queue (maxsize reduced from 80 to 20) was not flushed
when the monitor frequency changed — only when the monitor was disabled.
This caused up to 4 seconds of stale old-frequency audio to play after
clicking to tune, making click-to-tune appear non-functional.
Now flushes the queue whenever the VFO frequency changes, so audio at
the new frequency begins within ~50ms (one FFT frame).
Two root causes for the waterfall/monitor lockup when scrolling past the
2.4 MHz RTL-SDR span:
1. safe_terminate() sent SIGKILL but never called wait(), leaving a
zombie process that kept the USB device handle open. The subsequent
capture restart failed the USB probe and the monitor could not use
the shared IQ path, falling back to a process-based monitor that
stole the SDR from the waterfall.
2. When the frontend created a new WebSocket after a failure, the old
handler's finally block called _set_shared_capture_state(running=False)
which could race with the new handler's running=True, making the
shared monitor path unavailable. Added a generation counter so only
the owning handler can clear the shared state.
When restarting capture for a new frequency, the USB handle from the
just-killed process may not be released by the kernel in time for the
rtl_test probe inside claim_sdr_device. Add retry logic (up to 4
attempts with 0.4s backoff) matching the pattern already used by the
audio start endpoint.
Also clean up stale shared-monitor state in the frontend error handler
so the monitor button is not left disabled when the capture restart
fails.
- _waitForPlayback now only succeeds on playing/timeupdate events, not
loadeddata/canplay which fire from just the WAV header before real
audio arrives
- stopMonitor() pauses audio and updates UI immediately instead of
blocking on the backend stop request (1+ second delay)
- Reduced backend audio stop sleep from 1.0s to 0.15s; the start
retry loop already handles USB contention

When dashboards (satellite, ADS-B, AIS) are loaded via iframe with
?embedded=true, the full navigation bar was still rendered, creating
a "UI in UI" effect. Pass the embedded query param from route handlers
to templates and conditionally skip the nav include.

ACARS messages use IATA codes (e.g. UA2412) while ADS-B uses ICAO
callsigns (e.g. UAL2412). Add a translation layer so the two can
match, enabling click-to-highlight and datalink message correlation.

Add ACARS label translation, message classification, and field parsers
so decoded messages show human-readable descriptions instead of raw
label codes (H1, DF, _d, 5Z, etc.). Integrate translated ACARS
messages into the ADS-B aircraft detail panel and add a live message
feed to the standalone ACARS mode.
- New utils/acars_translator.py with ~50 label codes, type classifier,
and parsers for position reports, engine data, weather, and OOOI
- Enrich messages at ingest in routes/acars.py with translation fields
- Backfill translation in /adsb/aircraft/<icao>/messages endpoint
- ADS-B dashboard: DATALINK MESSAGES section in aircraft detail panel
with auto-refresh, color-coded type badges, and parsed field display
- Standalone ACARS mode: scrollable live message feed (max 30 cards)
- Fix default N. America ACARS frequencies to 131.550/130.025/129.125
- Unit tests covering all translator functions
