feat: CW decoder v2 — rebuilt decode engine, back in the UI
The first RX-audio CW decoder decoded poorly on real signals (vs SDC) and was
removed in cafade0. This rebuilds the DSP core from scratch in
internal/cwdecode, keeping v1's good ideas (pitch lock, Flex cw_pitch
targeting, tiered acquisition) and fixing its proven failures:
- Two-way DEBOUNCE (pending-commit ~0.3 dit): v1 rejected short marks but not
short spaces, so a one-hop fade inside a dah shattered it into dits — the
single worst real-signal failure.
- Per-character BATCH dit/dah classification at flush time, using the batch's
own bimodal boundary — the first letter of an over decodes at any speed; the
timing clusters (muDit/muDah) are updated with the same attribution, killing
the classify-then-learn feedback spiral ("all dits at 60 WPM").
- dB-domain envelope with separate floor/peak trackers, hysteresis slicer,
span CAP (30 dB — else quiet backgrounds put the off-threshold in the
analysis-window skirts and letters merge) and window de-bias on durations.
- Double squelch: span >= 6 dB AND peak >= bank-median + 9.5 dB (span alone
cannot reject pure noise).
- Hamming-windowed Goertzel, 16 ms window / 5 ms hop (a 20 ms window left
40 WPM inter-element gaps with no envelope dip).
- Hardened acquisition (overlapping windows made "3 stable hops" meaningless)
plus SUPERVISED RE-LOCK: a clearly stronger tone on another pitch sustained
~1 s takes over — heals noise locks and follows a QSY.
- Gap-fed dit-length tracking (inter-element gaps are timing evidence too).
Proven by a synthetic-signal test suite (all passing): clean 12-40 WPM, three
pitches, added noise, QSB fading 0.35-1.0, 10 ms dropouts inside dahs, QRM in
auto and targeted modes, noise-only squelch, mid-over speed change 25->15 WPM,
and jittered hand keying (+/-20-25%, 3 seeds).
Wiring and UI restored from git (app_cw.go, Ear header button, decoded-text
strip with WPM/pitch/level + pitch lock + click-a-word-to-fill-callsign, Tools
menu entry) — strip strings translated (cwd.* i18n keys, EN/FR) this time.

"The CW decoder (RX audio → text) is back, with a rebuilt decoding engine. The first version struggled on real signals; the new one adds a windowed tone detector, an adaptive dB envelope with noise squelch, two-way debouncing (a brief fade inside a dash no longer shatters it into dots), per-character dit/dah classification (even the first letter of an over decodes at any speed), and gap-fed speed tracking. It rides QSB, ignores QRM on other pitches, follows 12–40 WPM and sloppy hand keying — all proven by a synthetic-signal test suite. Tools → CW decoder (or the ear button): decodes while the mode is CW, with WPM/pitch/level display, pitch lock (follows the FlexRadio CW pitch automatically), and click-a-word to fill the callsign. Weak signals in heavy QRM remain hard — that's CW Skimmer territory — but clean-to-moderate signals now decode solidly.",

"The CW Keyer settings panel is now fully translated (it had stayed in English), and the long serial-engine explanation paragraph was removed to keep it clean.",

"Serial CW keyer: fixed the rig dropping to RX between words during a macro (PTT not held). On USB-serial interfaces like the Yaesu SCU-17 (CP210x), the previous method of driving the DTR/RTS lines would drop the held RTS (PTT) as soon as DTR (CW) toggled. OpsLog now drives the lines with the direct Win32 method N1MM/WSJT use (EscapeCommFunction), so RTS stays asserted for the whole transmission. 'Key PTT line' also defaults on for the Serial engine, and PTT / key-line / speed changes apply immediately without reconnecting the keyer.",

"New (Settings → General): show the ClubLog 'Most Wanted' rank in the entry-strip band matrix. When on, a 'MW #rank' pill appears next to the DXCC entity name (1 = the most wanted entity), coloured hotter the more wanted it is. The list is fetched from ClubLog and personalised to your callsign, refreshed daily.",
|

"Fixed the colour theme sometimes resetting to light after an update/relaunch: an update can clear the WebView's localStorage, and the fallback that restores the theme from the local settings database gave up after ~2.4s — occasionally too soon during the brief startup window before that store is ready. It now keeps retrying until the store actually answers, so a dark theme is reliably restored."

"Le décodeur CW (audio RX → texte) est de retour, avec un moteur de décodage reconstruit. La première version peinait sur les vrais signaux ; la nouvelle ajoute un détecteur de tonalité fenêtré, une enveloppe dB adaptative avec squelch de bruit, un anti-rebond bilatéral (un bref fading dans un trait ne le brise plus en points), une classification point/trait par caractère (même la première lettre d'un over se décode à n'importe quelle vitesse) et un suivi de vitesse nourri par les espaces. Il tient le QSB, ignore le QRM sur d'autres tonalités, suit de 12 à 40 WPM et la manipulation humaine approximative — le tout prouvé par une suite de tests sur signaux synthétiques. Outils → Décodeur CW (ou le bouton oreille) : décode quand le mode est CW, avec affichage WPM/tonalité/niveau, verrouillage de tonalité (suit automatiquement le pitch CW du FlexRadio) et clic-sur-un-mot pour remplir l'indicatif. Les signaux faibles dans un fort QRM restent difficiles — c'est le territoire de CW Skimmer — mais les signaux propres à moyens se décodent maintenant solidement.",

"Keyer CW série : correction de la radio qui retombait en RX entre les mots pendant une macro (PTT non tenu). Sur les interfaces USB-série comme le Yaesu SCU-17 (CP210x), l'ancienne méthode de pilotage des lignes DTR/RTS faisait retomber le RTS (PTT) dès que DTR (CW) basculait. OpsLog pilote maintenant les lignes avec la méthode Win32 directe qu'utilisent N1MM/WSJT (EscapeCommFunction), donc RTS reste asserté toute l'émission. « Key PTT line » est aussi activé par défaut pour le moteur Série, et les changements PTT / ligne / vitesse s'appliquent immédiatement sans reconnecter le keyer.",
