feat: precompute airtime_ms at packet storage time

[dmduran12]

Summary

Pre-calculate and store airtime_ms when packets are received, eliminating repeated client-side airtime calculations on every chart render.

Problem

Currently, the frontend calculates airtime for every packet each time a chart is rendered:

Backend stores packet → Frontend fetches packet → Frontend calculates airtime per packet × N
                                                   ↑ Repeated on every time range change

For large packet histories (e.g., 75K packets), this results in:

• Chart render times of 100-500ms
• High CPU usage on resource-constrained devices (Raspberry Pi)
• Redundant calculations for unchanged data

Solution

Calculate airtime once at receive time and store it with the packet:

Backend stores packet + airtime_ms → Frontend fetches packet with airtime_ms → Just sum/bucket
                                     ↑ Calculate once, use forever

Changes

Database (sqlite_handler.py)

• Migration 4: Add airtime_ms REAL column to packets table
• Update store_packet() INSERT to include airtime_ms
• Update get_recent_packets(), get_filtered_packets(), get_packet_by_hash() to return airtime_ms

Packet Processing (engine.py)

• Calculate airtime_ms using existing AirtimeManager.calculate_airtime() when building packet record
• Uses the actual radio config (SF, BW, CR) at receive time for accurate calculations

API Response

Packet responses now include the pre-calculated value:

{
  "timestamp": 1705728000,
  "type": 4,
  "raw_packet": "...",
  "airtime_ms": 226.3
}

Migration Path

• New packets: Get airtime_ms calculated and stored automatically
• Old packets: Return airtime_ms = NULL; frontend falls back to client-side calculation
• Self-healing: As old data ages out via 7-day cleanup, fallback code becomes unnecessary

Performance Impact

Metric	Before	After
Chart render (75K pkts)	~100-500ms	~10-50ms
CPU usage on RPi	High (formula × N)	Low (just sum)
Accuracy	Must sync formula	Always matches backend

we can also implement a one-time database backfill that adds this to all packets... but... it was starting to feel complex. If you'd like, I can submit it, but I think the front can take the brunt of that work with fallback methods to calculate airtime based on current radio settings IF the API doesn't return airtime.
