Adds advanced visual feedback system for 3D radar aircraft with real-time signal quality indicators:
Signal Quality Visualization:
- Opacity mapping based on signal strength (-60 to -5 dBFS range)
- Emissive glow intensity reflects signal quality (Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor)
- Multi-source data indicators (small spheres for aircraft with multiple receivers)
- Dynamic signal strength analysis from aircraft sources data
- Real-time updates with changing signal conditions
Enhanced Trail System:
- Gradient coloring with age-based fading (30% to 100% intensity)
- Aircraft type-based trail colors (cyan=helicopter, blue=heavy, yellow=light, teal=medium)
- Signal quality affects trail brightness and visibility
- Custom BufferGeometry with per-vertex colors
- Memory-efficient geometry disposal and rebuilding
Technical Improvements:
- Modular signal data extraction from aircraft sources
- Linear signal strength to opacity mapping
- Quality multiplier system for visual feedback
- Proper Three.js BufferAttribute management
- Dynamic visual updates synchronized with aircraft data
Visual Results:
- Strong signals = bright, opaque aircraft with vivid trails
- Weak signals = dim, transparent aircraft with faded trails
- Multi-source aircraft display small indicator spheres
- Trail colors match aircraft types for consistency
- Smooth gradient effects enhance flight path visualization
Addresses core signal quality and trail enhancement requirements from issue #42.

Major improvements to map theming and aircraft type display:
Map Theme Changes:
- Changed default map from dark to light theme (CartoDB Positron)
- Added night mode toggle button with sun/moon icons
- Both main map and coverage map now switch themes together
- Light theme provides better daylight visibility
Aircraft Type Display:
- Now displays actual ADS-B category directly (e.g., "Medium 34000-136000kg")
- Removed guessing/interpretation of aircraft types
- Icons still use simplified categories for visual distinction
- More accurate and standards-compliant display
This provides a cleaner, more professional appearance with the light map
and gives users accurate ADS-B category information instead of interpreted types.

Root cause: The merger was blocking position updates from the same source
after the first position was established, designed for multi-source scenarios
but preventing single-source position updates.
Changes:
- Refactor JavaScript into modular architecture (WebSocketManager, AircraftManager, MapManager, UIManager)
- Add CPR coordinate validation to prevent invalid latitude/longitude values
- Fix merger to allow position updates from same source for moving aircraft
- Add comprehensive coordinate bounds checking in CPR decoder
- Update HTML to use new modular JavaScript with cache busting
- Add WebSocket debug logging to track data flow
Technical details:
- CPR decoder now validates coordinates within ±90° latitude, ±180° longitude
- Merger allows updates when currentBest == sourceID (same source continuous updates)
- JavaScript modules provide better separation of concerns and debugging
- WebSocket properly transmits updated aircraft coordinates to frontend
