Kpa-clawbot 6f35d4d417 feat: RF Health Dashboard M1 — observer metrics + small multiples grid (#604)
## RF Health Dashboard — M1: Observer Metrics Storage, API & Small
Multiples Grid

Implements M1 of #600.

### What this does

Adds a complete RF health monitoring pipeline: MQTT stats ingestion →
SQLite storage → REST API → interactive dashboard with small multiples
grid.

### Backend Changes

**Ingestor (`cmd/ingestor/`)**
- New `observer_metrics` table via migration system (`_migrations`
pattern)
- Parse `tx_air_secs`, `rx_air_secs`, `recv_errors` from MQTT status
messages (same pattern as existing `noise_floor` and `battery_mv`)
- `INSERT OR REPLACE` with timestamps rounded to nearest 5-min interval
boundary (using ingestor wall clock, not observer timestamps)
- Missing fields stored as NULLs — partial data is always better than no
data
- Configurable retention pruning: `retention.metricsDays` (default 30),
runs on startup + every 24h

**Server (`cmd/server/`)**
- `GET /api/observers/{id}/metrics?since=...&until=...` — per-observer
time-series data
- `GET /api/observers/metrics/summary?window=24h` — fleet summary with
current NF, avg/max NF, sample count
- `parseWindowDuration()` supports `1h`, `24h`, `3d`, `7d`, `30d` etc.
- Server-side metrics retention pruning (same config, staggered 2min
after packet prune)

### Frontend Changes

**RF Health tab (`public/analytics.js`, `public/style.css`)**
- Small multiples grid showing all observers simultaneously — anomalies
pop out visually
- Per-observer cell: name, current NF value, battery voltage, sparkline,
avg/max stats
- NF status coloring: warning (amber) at ≥-100 dBm, critical (red) at
≥-85 dBm — text color only, no background fills
- Click any cell → expanded detail view with full noise floor line chart
- Reference lines with direct text labels (`-100 warning`, `-85
critical`) — not color bands
- Min/max points labeled directly on the chart
- Time range selector: preset buttons (1h/3h/6h/12h/24h/3d/7d/30d) +
custom from/to datetime picker
- Deep linking: `#/analytics?tab=rf-health&observer=...&range=...`
- All charts use SVG, matching existing analytics.js patterns
- Responsive: 3-4 columns on desktop, 1 on mobile

### Design Decisions (from spec)
- Labels directly on data, not in legends
- Reference lines with text labels, not color bands
- Small multiples grid, not card+accordion (Tufte: instant visual fleet
comparison)
- Ingestor wall clock for all timestamps (observer clocks may drift)

### Tests Added

**Ingestor tests:**
- `TestRoundToInterval` — 5 cases for rounding to 5-min boundaries
- `TestInsertMetrics` — basic insertion with all fields
- `TestInsertMetricsIdempotent` — INSERT OR REPLACE deduplication
- `TestInsertMetricsNullFields` — partial data with NULLs
- `TestPruneOldMetrics` — retention pruning
- `TestExtractObserverMetaNewFields` — parsing tx_air_secs, rx_air_secs,
recv_errors

**Server tests:**
- `TestGetObserverMetrics` — time-series query with since/until filters,
NULL handling
- `TestGetMetricsSummary` — fleet summary aggregation
- `TestObserverMetricsAPIEndpoints` — DB query verification
- `TestMetricsAPIEndpoints` — HTTP endpoint response shape
- `TestParseWindowDuration` — duration parsing for h/d formats

### Test Results
```
cd cmd/ingestor && go test ./... → PASS (26s)
cd cmd/server && go test ./... → PASS (5s)
```

### What's NOT in this PR (deferred to M2+)
- Server-side delta computation for cumulative counters
- Airtime charts (TX/RX percentage lines)
- Channel quality chart (recv_error_rate)
- Battery voltage chart
- Reboot detection and chart annotations
- Resolution downsampling (1h, 1d aggregates)
- Pattern detection / automated diagnosis
