After decryption produces text, validate it's printable UTF-8.
If it contains more than 2 non-printable characters (excluding
newline/tab), mark as decryption_failed with text: null.
Applied to both Node (decoder.js) and Go (cmd/ingestor/decoder.go)
decoders. Added tests for garbage and valid text in both.

#184: Strip non-printable chars (<0x20 except tab/newline) from ADVERT
names in Go server decoder, Go ingestor decoder, and Node decoder.js.
#185: Add visual (N) badge next to node names when multiple nodes share
the same display name (case-insensitive). Shows in list, side pane, and
full detail page with 'also known as' links to other keys.
#186: Add packetsLast24h field to /api/stats response.
#187#188: Cache runtime.ReadMemStats() with 5s TTL in Go server.
#189: Temporarily patch HTMLCanvasElement.prototype.getContext during
L.heatLayer().addTo(map) to pass { willReadFrequently: true }, preventing
Chrome console warning about canvas readback performance.
Tests: 10 new tests for buildDupNameMap + dupNameBadge (143 total frontend).
Cache busters bumped.

Go ingestor never had channel decryption — GRP_TXT packets were stored
with raw encrypted data while Node.js decoded them successfully.
Changes:
- decoder.go: Add decryptChannelMessage() implementing MeshCore channel
crypto (HMAC-SHA256 MAC verification + AES-128-ECB decryption), matching
the algorithm in @michaelhart/meshcore-decoder. Update decodeGrpTxt(),
decodePayload(), and DecodePacket() to accept and pass channel keys.
Add Payload fields: ChannelHashHex, DecryptionStatus, Channel, Text,
Sender, SenderTimestamp.
- config.go: Add ChannelKeysPath and ChannelKeys fields to Config struct.
- main.go: Add loadChannelKeys() that loads channel-rainbow.json (same
file used by Node.js server) from beside the config file, with env var
and config overrides. Pass loaded keys through the decoder pipeline.
- decoder_test.go: Add 14 channel decryption tests covering valid
decryption, MAC failure, wrong key, no-sender messages, bracket
sender exclusion, key iteration, channelHashHex formatting, and
decryption status states. Cross-validated against Node.js output.
- Update all DecodePacket/decodePayload/decodeGrpTxt/handleMessage call
sites in test files to pass the new channelKeys parameter.

First step of Go rewrite — separates MQTT ingestion from the Node.js
web server. Single static binary (no CGO) that connects to MQTT
brokers, decodes MeshCore packets, and writes to the shared SQLite DB.
Ported from JS:
- decoder.js → decoder.go (header, path, all payload types, adverts)
- computeContentHash → Go (SHA-256, path-independent)
- db.js v3 schema → db.go (transmissions, observations, nodes, observers)
- server.js MQTT logic → main.go (multi-broker, reconnect, IATA filter)
25 Go tests passing (golden fixtures from production + schema compat).
No existing JS files modified.
