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.
