Logan Cusano ceb2836371 Raise tail pad to 3s so short transmissions are not clipped
The recording window is anchored to OP25 control-channel timestamps, but
the buffered audio lags those by roughly 1.5s. Trim logs across seven
calls measured the offset at 0.84-1.62s, consistently present.

At a 1.0s pad a short call closed its window before the voice arrived:
a 0.97s control-channel call closed at T+1.97 while voice started around
T+1.5, capturing ~0.4s of speech and cutting mid-word. Confirmed by a
0.57s file whose final 0.10s measured -12.2dB against its own -18.2dB
average - clipped speech, not a tail - and by two short calls that
logged no trim at all because no trailing silence remained.

Being generous is free here: trim_silence already strips trailing
silence back to the guard margin before upload, so long calls are
unaffected while short ones gain the window they need. Over-capture
costs nothing; under-capture loses words permanently.

"""
Event-driven call state machine.
Replaces the old hang-counter inference (which derived call start from "a tgid
appeared in channel_update" and call end from N polls of silence) with the two
authoritative signals OP25 actually exposes:
START — a `call_log` entry. OP25 appends one at channel-grant time stamped with
its own time.time(). This is an exact start timestamp, not the moment
our poll happened to notice, so recordings can be sliced back to it.
END — the `srcaddr` != 0 → `srcaddr` == 0 transition in `channel_update`.
OP25 never reports call termination externally: internally it ends a
call on the P25 Terminator Data Unit (duid15) or 3 voice-framing
timeouts, but neither becomes a log entry. What *is* observable is that
`srcaddr`/`svcopts` reset to 0/false the instant the call ends, while
`tgid`/`hold_tgid` keep showing the just-ended talkgroup for
TGID_HOLD_TIME (2 s). So the srcaddr edge is a real state change, not a
timeout heuristic.
SEGMENTS: one emitted call (= one recording, one Firestore doc) spans a whole
conversation, not a single transmission. It stays open across repeated grants on
the same talkgroup and closes when the talkgroup changes or the radio goes quiet
for settings.call_idle_timeout seconds.
CLOCKS: `call_log["time"]` is time.time() inside the op25 container. All three
client containers run network_mode: host and share the host kernel clock, so that
value is directly comparable to time.time() here — no offset mapping needed. The
call recorder's ring buffer is stamped with the same clock for the same reason.

Audio kept after the observed end of the last transmission, so the srcaddr

module constant, so it is tunable per node. See the setting in config.py for
why the default moved 1.0 → 3.0 (short calls' recording window was closing
before the ~1.5s grant→speech offset let voice audio even start).
Only the idle-timeout close path below uses this pad — the tgid_change and
tgid_change_unlogged paths close at an exact, already-known boundary (the
new grant's timestamp, or the same poll tick) and intentionally add none.
