Usage tracking:
- new UsageEvent collection records every STT/TTS/LLM call per user with
provider, model, volume (audio seconds, characters, tokens) and an
estimated USD cost; self-hosted providers (Speaches/Piper) and cache
hits record at $0
- pricing table for whisper-1, tts-1, gpt-5-nano & co. in server/utils/usage.ts
- weekly KPI mail gains an "AI-Nutzung & Kosten" section: weekly and
rolling 30-day cost, per-kind breakdown, top 5 users by cost
- quota alert mail when rolling 30-day cost exceeds USAGE_ALERT_USD
(default $5), at most once per calendar month (UsageAlertDelivery)
Hardening:
- /api/atc/say now requires an authenticated session (middleware
exemption removed); useFlightLabAudio sends the bearer token
- /api/service/tools/latency requires auth (was a public LLM endpoint)
- per-user rate limits: PTT 20/min, say 60/min, latency 5/min
- cron endpoints (waitlist-drip, weekly-kpi-report) require a shared
secret via ?secret= or x-cron-secret (CRON_SECRET, falls back to
KPI_CRON_SECRET); allowed with a warning while unset so existing
deployments keep working
- PTT records the actual transcribed audio duration for billing accuracy

Clients that already ran the full radiotelephony normalizer (see
normalizeATCText) pass preNormalized: true so the server skips
normalizeATC — double-normalizing corrupts the text, e.g. expandAirports
spells the city name "MAIN" letter-by-letter.

ATIS text often arrives in raw METAR form (e.g.
"METAR EDDF 281050Z AUTO 02008KT 320V070 CAVOK 24/02 Q1025 NOSIG"),
which TTS reads as letter-by-letter spelling. The normalizer now expands
the full WMO Code Form FM 15-XV vocabulary inline: DDHHMMZ date stamps,
compressed wind (with gusts, VRB, calm), wind variability ranges, RVR
(R25L/1500N), wind shear, slash-form temp/dewpoint, Q/A pressure,
NSC/SKC/CLR/NCD/VV cloud codes, weather phenomena (with intensity and
descriptors), recent-weather RE prefix, BECMG/TEMPO/FM/TL/AT trend
codes, and strips RMK remarks. Plus ATIS/METAR/SPECI get lowercased
so TTS pronounces them as words (pilots SPELL ILS/QNH/VOR so those
stay uppercase).
Airport ICAO codes are substituted with their OpenAIP name when the
frequencies endpoint returns one. New `airportName` field added to
the FrequencyResponse for that. Adds 7 test cases covering the user-
reported EDDF sample plus calm/VRB/gust winds, RVR, weather codes,
cloud specials, trend codes, and RMK stripping.

Real ATIS broadcasts run continuously; tuning in mid-broadcast should
drop the pilot into the current spoken position, then loop. The frontend
now generates the full announcement once via TTS, plays it as a looping
HTMLAudioElement, and seeks to ((Date.now() - lastUpdated) / duration)
on metadata-load so all clients tuned to the same ATIS hear it phase-
synced. The loop starts/stops automatically with frequency tuning and
restarts on info-letter change. say.post.ts now caches tag=atis like
tag=flightlab to avoid re-synthesizing identical announcements.

The frequency panel was always empty when using OpenAIP because of three
compounding bugs in frequencies.get.ts:
1. Wrong query parameter — ?icao=EDDF performs an unfiltered full-text
search and returns all 46 000+ airports paginated; EDDF wasn't even
on the first page. The correct parameter is ?search=EDDF, which
returns exactly the one matching airport.
2. Wrong ICAO field name — the code checked airport.icao but the real
field in the v2 API response is icaoCode. Even on a correctly
filtered response the match would always fail.
3. Wrong frequency field names and numeric types — each frequency item
exposes the MHz value in a value field (not frequency / frequencyMHz),
and the service type is a numeric code (5=Delivery, 9=Ground,
14=Tower, 15=ATIS) rather than a string. Added OPENAIP_TYPE_MAP to
translate these numeric codes to the internal DEL/GND/TWR/ATIS codes
the rest of the pipeline expects.
With these fixes EDDF now returns all 8 frequencies (Delivery 122.035,
Ground 121.805, three Tower variants, two ATIS) which are then stored in
delivery_freq / ground_freq / tower_freq / atis_freq and used for both
the frequency overview panel and the per-state frequency validation.

- Pass as top-level field in PTT requests so Whisper STT
results are linked to the correct Python backend session
- Add namespaced helper in pm.vue (info/warn/error/debug/group)
controlled by localStorage PM_DEBUG flag; logs transmit/response
cycles, TTS calls, flag/variable syncs, and fallback warnings
- Log backend session creation context (flow, start state, vars, flags)
in startMonitoring
- Fix typo in text input hint: STT fails not PTT fails
and
fix: sync backend variables to frontend after each transmission
The ATC say template was rendered using the frontend engine's local
variable defaults (squawk '1234', hardcoded SID, etc.) instead of
the authoritative values from the Python backend session. This caused
the spoken clearance and the readback prompt to show different squawk
codes.
- After each backend transmission response, sync all response.variables
into vars.value (same pattern already used for flags)
- Prefer controller_say_rendered (pre-rendered by backend) over the raw
template for TTS scheduling, eliminating any remaining dependency on
local variable state for the ATC speech text
SimConnect sends boolean fields (on_ground, parking_brake, etc.) as 0/1
numbers. The condition evaluator uses strict equality (===), so
0 === false was returning false even when the condition was semantically
met. Cast boolean telemetry fields with !! to ensure proper type matching.
Also reduce solo-mode telemetry polling from 500ms to 2000ms.

Map raw bridge fields (ias_kt, on_ground, etc.) to FlightLabTelemetryState
format, add direct telemetry polling endpoint for solo mode, and show
sim condition panel in sidebar regardless of auto-advance toggle state.

- Fix client: playbackRate was set to 1 for non-native-speed providers (Speaches/Piper),
making the speed slider ineffective in the main Pizzicato audio path
- Fix server: pass speed parameter to Speaches TTS API
- Add pitch-preserving playback via MediaElementSourceNode when rate != 1,
routing through the same Web Audio effects chain (radio filters, distortion, etc.)
