Confirmed live tonight that the Si4684's automatic front-end tuning
(FE_VARM/VARB properties) is measurably suboptimal on this board: a
129-value ANTCAP sweep (0-128, AN851 Appendix A) at four different FM
frequencies found antcap=102 beats auto-tune by +6 to +11 dB RSSI and
+3 to +11 dB SNR everywhere tested, consistent with the front-end
network component mismatch already logged in
docs/si4684-rf-investigation-report.md — the board's actual matching
network differs from the AN851 reference network those auto-tune
constants were derived from, so a fixed empirical override
compensates for a gap the chip's own algorithm can't see.
Wiring, bottom to top:
- Si4684Driver::tuneFm() already took an antCap byte; threaded it
through core::ITuner::tuneFm() and si4684::Si4684Tuner::tuneFm() as
a new parameter (default 0 = auto, unchanged behaviour for every
existing caller).
- TunerService::tuneFm() takes an optional override instead: omitted,
it falls back to a new defaultFmAntCap_ member so every ordinary FM
tune (seek, scan, station recall, live UI) benefits automatically
once calibrated, not just calls that pass antcap explicitly.
- POST /api/tuner/tune gained an optional "antcap" field for sweeping
live without touching the saved calibration.
- POST /api/tuner/calibrate-antenna commits a sweep result: writes it
to the 24AA025E48 EEPROM's user-writable region (word address 0x00,
separate from the factory-locked EUI-48 at 0xFA-0xFF) via a new
Eeprom24aa::writeFmAntCap()/readFmAntCap() pair, and immediately
updates the live TunerService default — no reboot needed to take
effect, though HardwareBootstrap::boot() also loads it at every
boot so it survives power cycles. Same net::AntennaCalibration
function-pointer bridge pattern as PhoneStreamSink/BleProvisioning,
so components/net stays free of eeprom24aa headers.
Verified end to end on hardware: swept and found 102, saved it via
the new endpoint, confirmed the live default changed immediately,
then power-cycled and confirmed the boot log reports "FM ANTCAP
calibration loaded: 102" and a subsequent default tune reflects it.

writeCommand() always prepends a fixed ARG1=0x00 byte before the payload;
tuneFm()/tuneDab() built their argument arrays starting at what the author
believed was ARG1, so every byte landed one slot right of its real AN649
position and an extra unused byte was appended. The chip never received the
requested frequency. This is the root cause of the months-long total RF
blackout (RSQ frozen at all-zero on every frequency/ANTCAP value) previously
attributed to a QFN exposed-pad hardware defect — that hypothesis is now
overturned, confirmed live: RSSI/SNR now read real, frequency-dependent
values with zero STC timeouts after the fix.
Also make BT1035 boot failure non-fatal in HardwareBootstrap::boot() so a
companion-chip fault no longer halts the whole device (Si4684 tuning, web
UI, Wi-Fi already isolate BT1035 readiness via CompanionChipStatus).

Streaming (main feature this session):
- New WebRadioConfig/WebRadioJson core types, ISecureStore-backed persistence
- New webradio::WebRadioService (thread-safe live config) + GET/POST /api/streaming
- web_radio_stream task now runtime-toggleable (no reboot), no hardcoded URL
- Content-Type diagnostic: warns clearly when a URL is a webpage, not an audio stream
Boot cleanup:
- Removed boot-time auto FM/DAB tune, auto-beep, and the (now-concluded) Si4684
crystal IBIAS/CTUN empirical sweep from main.cpp — tuning/beep are on-demand
via the existing REST API only
Web UI:
- Modernized styling (cards, gradients, toggle switches, light/dark theme)
- New Stream tab wired to /api/streaming
Fixes found via real idf.py build (not just clangd):
- Restored wrongly-removed si4684/Si4684Tuner.hpp include in main.cpp
- Fixed MP3Decode() argument types in web_radio_stream.cpp (unsigned char**/int*)
Quality-gate fixes:
- Host-test stub headers (esp_log.h, freertos/*) so TunerService.cpp's
scanForStation logging/pacing compiles for station_service_test /
integration_service_test instead of running stale binaries
- Added WifiScanner and WebRadioService manual sections; filled in missing
Doxygen docs on BluetoothService, i2s_sdata_probe, test_firmware, Bt1035At
- Ignore clangd's .cache/ index directory
Also includes prior uncommitted work carried in the tree: Wi-Fi/Bluetooth
device scan REST API and UI (WifiScanner, BT scan), SigmaStudio TCP bridge,
and the current ADAU1701 SigmaStudio DSP program export.
