For BYOP mode in the packet analyzer, perform signature validation on
advert packets and display whether successful or not. This is added as
we observed many corrupted advert packets that would be easily
detectable as such if signature validation checks were performed.
At present this MR is just to add this status in BYOP mode so there is
minimal impact to the application and no performance penalty for having
to perform these checks on all packets. Moving forward it probably makes
sense to do these checks on all advert packets so that corrupt packets
can be ignored in several contexts (like node lists for example).
Let me know what you think and I can adjust as needed.

## Summary
Several features and fixes from a live deployment of the Go v3.0.0
backend.
### geo_filter — full enforcement
- **Go backend config** (`cmd/server/config.go`,
`cmd/ingestor/config.go`): added `GeoFilterConfig` struct so
`geo_filter.polygon` and `bufferKm` from `config.json` are parsed by
both the server and ingestor
- **Ingestor** (`cmd/ingestor/geo_filter.go`, `cmd/ingestor/main.go`):
ADVERT packets from nodes outside the configured polygon + buffer are
dropped *before* any DB write — no transmission, node, or observation
data is stored
- **Server API** (`cmd/server/geo_filter.go`, `cmd/server/routes.go`):
`GET /api/config/geo-filter` endpoint returns the polygon + bufferKm to
the frontend; `/api/nodes` responses filter out any out-of-area nodes
already in the DB
- **Frontend** (`public/map.js`, `public/live.js`): blue polygon overlay
(solid inner + dashed buffer zone) on Map and Live pages, toggled via
"Mesh live area" checkbox, state shared via localStorage
### Automatic DB pruning
- Add `retention.packetDays` to `config.json` to delete transmissions +
observations older than N days on a daily schedule (1 min after startup,
then every 24h). Nodes and observers are never pruned.
- `POST /api/admin/prune?days=N` for manual runs (requires `X-API-Key`
header if `apiKey` is set)
```json
"retention": {
"nodeDays": 7,
"packetDays": 30
}
```
### tools/geofilter-builder.html
Standalone HTML tool (no server needed) — open in browser, click to
place polygon points on a Leaflet map, set `bufferKm`, copy the
generated `geo_filter` JSON block into `config.json`.
### scripts/prune-nodes-outside-geo-filter.py
Utility script to clean existing out-of-area nodes from the database
(dry-run + confirm). Useful after first enabling geo_filter on a
populated DB.
### HB column in packets table
Shows the hop hash size in bytes (1–4) decoded from the path byte of
each packet's raw hex. Displayed as **HB** between Size and Type
columns, hidden on small screens.
## Test plan
- [x] ADVERT from node outside polygon is not stored (no new row in
nodes or transmissions)
- [x] `GET /api/config/geo-filter` returns polygon + bufferKm when
configured, `{polygon: null, bufferKm: 0}` when not
- [x] `/api/nodes` excludes nodes outside polygon even if present in DB
- [x] Map and Live pages show blue polygon overlay when configured;
checkbox toggles it
- [x] `retention.packetDays: 30` deletes old transmissions/observations
on startup and daily
- [x] `POST /api/admin/prune?days=30` returns `{deleted: N, days: 30}`
- [x] `tools/geofilter-builder.html` opens standalone, draws polygon,
copies valid JSON
- [x] HB column shows 1–4 for all packets in grouped and flat view
