chore: release v0.27.12

Reported from a real shack: JTDX decoding FT4 came through as Q65. A
Decode carries a one-character marker rather than a mode name, and the
forks do not agree on that one — so the character alone cannot answer,
and its wrong answer reached everything behind it: new mode, new slot,
the mode filter, all computed against a mode nobody was using.

The sending program's own Status settles it. It comes from that program,
names the mode in full, and is re-sent whenever it changes, so it knows
what is being decoded in a way one character never can. Only the
ambiguous marker consults it: the ones both forks agree on keep
answering from the table, Status or no Status, and with no Status at all
':' still reads as Q65 — WSJT-X's meaning, the older and commoner.

A station in the middle of a QSO with somebody else is never called, because it cannot answer. Every decision is written to the log with its reason, the toolbar button shows the target and the count as it goes, and Halt stops it. OFF by default — Settings → DXHunter/spots.

+// Package autocall answers FT8/FT4 decodes without the operator clicking them.
+//
+// THIS KEYS THE TRANSMITTER ON ITS OWN, which is why the decision lives here,
+// in one place, as a function of state that can be read, argued with and
+// tested — rather than spread through a panel that only runs while its tab is
+// open. Everything below is written as a series of refusals: a call goes out
+// only when nothing says it should not.
+//
+// ── What it is for ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+// On a busy band the operator cannot read twenty decodes, judge each against
+// the log and click the right one inside a fifteen-second slot. This does that
+// part: it ranks what is on the air by what the log still needs, calls the best
+// one, and — the harder half — knows when to STOP calling it.
+//
+// ── The ladder ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+// A watched callsign outranks the same need from anybody else, at every level:
+//
+//	WL new DXCC > new DXCC > WL new band > new band > WL new mode > new mode
+//	  > WL new slot > new slot > watched with nothing needed
+//
+// Watching a callsign is the operator saying "this one matters more than the
+// rule", so it lifts a station by one rung rather than jumping the whole
+// ladder: a watched new-slot must not outrank a new entity that will not come
+// back.
+//
+// ── Why it stops ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+// The failure that matters is not calling the wrong station, it is calling one
+// station for ever. Four independent brakes, any of which releases the target:
+//
+//   - attempts: 7 calls, or 15 for a watched callsign
+//   - misses: 3 periods IN WHICH IT TRANSMITS with no decode of it
+//   - the clock: a target held longer than MaxHold is dropped whatever the
+//     counters say, because a counter that never advances never trips
+//   - rounds: a callsign released this way is rested, and after MaxRounds
+//     series it is parked for the session
+//
+// A released station is not banned. It can be picked again once rested, but
+// only while nothing of HIGHER rank is callable — which is what keeps "seven
+// calls, then straight back to the same station" from being fifty calls.
+//
+// ── Who is callable ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+// A station in the middle of an exchange with somebody else is never targeted.
+// It cannot answer, and WSJT-X and JTDX ignore a reply to it anyway; only the
+// station calling CQ, calling US, or sending its last frame is worth a slot.
