Location presets can now optionally be given a name (e.g. "Home"),
shown in the overview instead of the raw coordinates. The
nearest-airport ticker on the Location Presets screen is now
tappable (shown with a thin green border) and adds that airport
directly as a new preset with its name and coordinates, using the
existing local airport database on the SD card - no internet lookup
needed. AirportLookup::findNearest() now also returns the found
airport's own lat/lon for this purpose.

New:
- Flight logbook safety net: disabled by default, requires confirming
a full-screen warning before it can be turned on, and automatically
switches off again after exactly 24 hours - survives restarts and
power cycles (no valid enable timestamp = guaranteed off). Each
activation now writes its own CSV file instead of endlessly
appending to one growing file, and every file can be deleted
individually from Logbook files.
- Adjustable display brightness (10-100% in 10% steps, Menu -> System
-> "Brightness") with a live preview.
- About screen (Menu -> System -> "About") showing project name,
description, and firmware version.
Fixed:
- Radar's red altitude band (>9100m/30000ft) no longer gets dimmed at
night - the previous dim tone looked orange-brown and was hard to
tell apart from yellow. Legend and markers are consistent again.
- Radius change no longer leaves a stale "tail" trail behind each
aircraft between the old and new position.
- Splash screen no longer shows a time-of-day greeting that appeared
too late in the boot sequence to be useful; the star animation now
starts immediately instead of only near the end of boot.
- Clock stayed on raw UTC after the first boot instead of local time
(missing DST handling in some timezones) because the location wait
loop skipped the timezone lookup once a location was already saved.
- Header clock no longer leaves stale digit fragments behind the
current time, most visible on the last minute digit.

New:
- Aircraft list (Menu -> Flight Options, top entry): sortable list
(distance/altitude/callsign) of every aircraft currently in range,
with the same altitude color-coding and emergency/watchlist border
highlighting as the radar. Tapping a row jumps back to the radar
with that aircraft's detail panel already open.
- Night dimming now also softens the radar screen itself (aircraft
markers and the sweep line switch to darker tones) during the
existing 22:00-06:00 window, reusing the same setting - no new
toggle.
Improved:
- Removed the unused built-in TFT_eSPI number fonts (GLCD/Font2/
Font4/Font6/Font7/Font8) from platformio.ini - the project only
ever uses the custom UI font via setFreeFont(). Saves ~15KB flash.
Also documents a CYD-flightradar.bin staleness safety check in the
CLAUDE.md release workflow (delete any leftover copy from a previous
release before renaming the fresh build, so an old binary can never
be silently re-used for a GitHub release).

Three small usability additions:
- Splash screen now shows a "Good morning/day/evening" greeting under
the title, based on local time (computed after the timezone offset
from IP geolocation is applied via configTime(), not before, so it
reflects actual local time rather than UTC).
- Selecting an aircraft on the radar now also draws a dotted bearing
line plus a degree label from the radar center to the compass edge,
showing which direction to actually look to spot it in the sky
(distinct from the aircraft's own heading arrow).
- The radar info bar now shows "Empty sky for <time>" instead of the
"tap for details" hint whenever no aircraft are currently in range
after all filters, counting up from the last sighting.

The v2.6.0 addition was drawn as a single line that could overflow
and collide with the "Reset logbook data" button. It now uses the
same two-line drawStatRow() layout (label + value) as the other
stats, with all row Y positions shifted up slightly to make room,
and the i18n strings dropped their now-redundant ": " suffix since
drawStatRow() renders label and value on separate lines.

Adds FlightLogbook::todayMaxAltitude(), which scans today's logbook
CSV for the entry with the greatest altitude at first sighting, and
displays it as "Highest flight today: <callsign> (<alt> ft)" on the
Statistics screen (Menu -> Flight Options -> Statistics).
Also documents the CYD-flightradar.bin rename step (for GitHub
release uploads) in the CLAUDE.md release workflow.

Adds a 7-day bar-chart view of the flight logbook (Menu -> Flight
Options -> History chart), and a small built-in web server that
serves a logbook overview page plus a merged CSV export of all
logged days once the device is connected to WiFi (discoverable via
the "?" button on the Logbook files screen, which now also shows the
live device IP). Also fixes the "nearest airport" line on the
Location Presets screen, which previously used tft.setViewport() and
went completely invisible with our custom font - it now scrolls as a
proper marquee without relying on the viewport clip.
Also documents the standard release workflow in CLAUDE.md.
