BowEcho v0.34.0 "Sounding Reimagined"

This release replaces the sounding window with a native SHARPpy-style SPC
display, adds historical obs-adjusted soundings, and gives theta-e maps a
dedicated banded color table.

SHARPpy-style sounding window

The sounding pane (native and model-dock paths alike) now renders the full
SPC-style display as a live egui widget backed by sharprs: skew-T with
CAPE/CIN shading and virtual-temperature traces, hodograph with a location
inset, storm slinky, theta-e, SR-wind, wind-speed and temperature-advection
strips, the full parameter index board with severity tier coloring, SHIP,
streamwiseness, and the Effective-Layer STP chart. A SHARPpy/Classic toggle
keeps the previous renderer one click away.

  • Hover the skew-T for a readout line (height, pressure, T/Td) with a linked
    marker riding the hodograph at the same height.
  • Scroll over the hodograph to zoom (default widened to 250 kt).
  • The gear button opens a layout editor: every cell except the skew-T can be
    reassigned to any panel or hidden; layouts persist with the saved sounding
    view state.
  • The unverified "Psbl Haz. Type" watch box is replaced by a location map
    panel by default.

Historical soundings

  • RAOB soundings keyed off archived radar volumes already reached the
    Wyoming/IEM archives; obs-adjusted soundings now do too: with a historic
    scan displayed, the adjusting surface ob comes from the IEM ASOS archive
    around the scan's valid time instead of the live feed.
  • Adjusted soundings are tagged with the station, distance, and observation
    time (for example "KOUN obs-adj 12km @ 2020-05-16 21:53Z") so the source
    ob is verifiable at a glance.
  • Fixed: opening a RAOB while a model sounding was displayed instantly
    reverted to the model sounding.

Theta-e maps

2 m theta-e map products use a dedicated stepped color table with hard 10-K
tiers from 230 K to 360+ K (greens above 330, white near 320, greys below),
with a stepped colorbar to match.
