Follow-up to #53. That change kept the mini views over the waterfall to the selected rig; this one does the same for the decoder panels behind them.

What was wrong

A client connected to several rigs decodes all of them at once, and the decode stream carries every rig's traffic to every browser. The panels listed all of it:

a station a background rig copied on another band appeared in the APRS list next to the selected rig's
N total, the vessel and burst counts, and the "latest seen" lines counted both rigs
the status lines read "Receiving" because some rig was
the CW pane interleaved two rigs into one stream of text that read as neither
a WEFAX or SSTV picture from another rig painted straight over the one being watched on the live canvas

What it does now

The page is about the rig the operator selected — the one whose spectrum is on screen and whose audio is playing — so each panel shows what that rig heard: rows, counts, latest-seen, status, the live picture, and the CW pane.

Panel	Filtered
APRS, HF APRS	rows, `N total`, `M shown`, latest-seen, status
AIS	rows, vessel count, latest-seen, status
VDES	rows, burst count, latest-seen, status
FT8 / FT4 / FT2, WSPR	rows, status
CW	the copied-text pane, signal indicator, WPM/tone readouts
WEFAX, SSTV	live canvas, latest card, history table and counts

The map is untouched, on purpose

Nothing is dropped on the way in. The map is the whole station's view, it has its own rig selector (#map-rig-filter, defaulting to All), and it would empty out if the plugins stopped feeding it — so the histories still hold every rig and every plot call sits outside the filter. Statistics stay station-wide too, with their own receiver picker and the per-rig comparison.

That also makes switching lossless: the plugin runtime gained a rerender hook that the rig switch calls, and switching back brings the other rig's traffic up again. The one exception is the CW pane — a running stream of text cannot be unpicked after the fact — so it starts empty on the rig you switch to. Documented rather than hidden.

Verification

65 unit tests pass, including 6 new panel tests (AIS, VDES, FT8, WSPR, the CW pane, and a rig switch repainting through the runtime). mini-view-rig.test.mjs becomes active-rig.test.mjs now that it covers both pages.
decode-flow.mjs pins the whole split in one place: a vessel from rig-b arrives while rig-a is selected, and the panel does not list it, the mini view does not show it, and markers.ais === 2 on the map.
Typecheck, lint and the full browser suite pass. Generated bundles rebuilt.
The user manual gains a "Multiple Rigs in the Web UI" section with the per-page table and the CW caveat.

Note this inverts the rule #53 wrote into active-rig.ts — that panels aggregate the station. The comment there now states the real boundary: radio page and digital modes are one rig, map and statistics are the station.

A client connected to several rigs decodes all of them at once, and the
decode stream carries every rig's traffic to every browser.  The decoder
panels listed all of it: a station a background rig copied on another band
appeared in the APRS list next to the selected rig's, the vessel counts and
the "latest seen" lines counted both, the status lines said "Receiving"
because some other rig was, and the CW pane interleaved two rigs into one
stream of text that read as neither.

The page is about the rig the operator selected — the one whose spectrum is
on screen and whose audio is playing — so each panel now shows what that rig
heard: rows, counts, latest-seen, status, the live picture a WEFAX or SSTV
frame is painting, and the CW pane.

Nothing is dropped on the way in.  The map is the whole station's view, has
its own rig filter, and would empty out if the plugins stopped feeding it, so
the histories still hold every rig and the map still plots them.  That also
means a switch loses nothing: the runtime gained a rerender hook, which the
rig switch calls, and switching back brings the other rig's traffic up again.
The CW pane is the exception — a running stream of text cannot be unpicked
after the fact — so it starts empty on the rig switched to.
