Indiana bbcbaa0a36 feat: shared spectrum scope with audible anomalies, from real sources only
Replaces two ad-hoc canvases (a 256x110 fixed-size waterfall in the radio
panel, a bar-graph in the EVP panel) with one source-agnostic SpectrumScope
that renders any binned dB spectrum, plus sonification so anomalies can be
heard rather than watched.

Sources are real measured data only. The RTL-SDR path is genuine RF; the
EVP path is a genuine AnalyserNode FFT of the device microphone. The ESP32
deliberately does NOT feed this: its firmware reports four scalars
(temperature, pressure, evp level, presence) and has no spectrum at all,
and device_anomaly.frequency_for_sensor_type() invents a per-sensor-type
frequency for the fiction — neither is a real spectrum, so neither is
plotted as one.

SpectrumScope draws three layers because each answers a different question:
the live trace (what is happening now), a decaying peak-hold (what was
strongest recently, so a transient survives a glance away), and a waterfall
(what the last minute looked like, where a steady carrier separates from a
one-off burst). Anomaly markers flare at their frequency and fade over
~2.6s, so a spike already gone from the trace still says where to look.

Frames reach the scope through a ref, not a prop. Routing 60Hz frames
through React state re-renders the panel and the scope on every frame on
top of the rAF loop that actually draws — measurably the wrong call on a
phone. The EVP producer double-buffers into two fixed Float64Arrays so a
frame costs zero allocation.

spectrumSonify maps band position to pitch exponentially, so equal
fractions of the band are equal musical intervals (a linear Hz map crams
the bottom half into one indistinguishable octave), and magnitude to
gain via sqrt so faint hits stay audible. Pings are throttled to 90ms
because a busy band otherwise smears into a buzz that conveys nothing.
Every entry point no-ops rather than throwing when audio is unavailable —
a dead speaker must never take down the scope drawing the data.

Audio requires an explicit gesture (ListenToggle), because iOS keeps any
context created outside a touch handler permanently suspended.

Also exposes EvpListener.sampleRate/nyquistHz and labels the EVP axis from
the real hardware rate. The old code assumed 48kHz; Bluetooth headsets and
some Android inputs hand back 44.1k or 16k, which mislabelled the spectrum
by nearly an octave.

Mobile: DPR-aware canvases, ResizeObserver, 44px touch targets,
touch-action so dragging the scope pans the page, reduced-motion honoured,
crowded axis ticks dropped under 560px.

329 frontend tests pass (18 new); i18n en/es parity gate passes.
