Extend silhouette lookup with tar1090's full fallback chain#71
Merged
Conversation
Common GA tails (C172, P28A, C182, C150 — tens of thousands of entries in tar1090-db) collapsed to the generic arrow because only the most specific tar1090 lookup (TypeDesignatorIcons) was consulted. Now mirror tar1090's four-tier fallback: designator → ICAO type description (with WTC) → kind letter → emitter category. Also fill TypeIcao from adsbdb when tar1090-db has no entry, and carry the BDS-08 category set letter through the snapshot so Set B / C aircraft (gliders, balloons, UAVs, surface vehicles) pick the right CategoryIcons bucket instead of defaulting to Set A.
