feat/aircraft-side-panel (bff69a1, e5fc6ca) added altitude-colored aircraft icons and flight-trail segments on the tar1090 hue ramp (components/MapView.tsx altitudeColor(), ~line 108-121; used by aircraftIcon() and AircraftTrail). The map's own legend (components/MapView.tsx:812-852) only has Severity and Nodes sections — no key for what the plane colours mean. A user turning on the opt-in Aircraft layer sees colour-coded planes/trails with no explanation on the same screen.

Fix: add an 'Aircraft altitude' section to the legend (a short gradient swatch or a few labelled stops, e.g. ground/low/cruise/high) shown only when the Aircraft overlay is active, mirroring how Severity/Nodes are keyed today.

Non-blocking — feature works without it, this is a completeness gap flagged during QA of the aircraft side-panel branch.
