Jason 54627bbbe3 fix(gui): software_fpga revival post-e8b495c — port chain helpers to fpga_model
Restore SoftwareFPGA's process_chirps() pipeline by porting the missing
chain stages (MTI canceller, DC notch, CFAR, threshold detection) plus
thin wrappers (range FFT, decimator, Doppler FFT) to fpga_model.py and
swapping software_fpga.py's import target from the deleted
golden_reference.py to fpga_model.

History: golden_reference.py was deleted in e8b495c (the "dead golden
code cleanup") but software_fpga.py kept importing from it.  The
ImportError was swallowed at v7/__init__.py:49-52 so package load
succeeded, but every direct `from v7.software_fpga import SoftwareFPGA`
hit the import-time failure — masking 21 broken tests as
"ModuleNotFoundError" instead of surfacing the real issue.

This was actively breaking the GUI replay-from-raw-IQ feature
(dashboard.py:1334-1347, 1577 + GUI_V65_Tk.py:271-300, 1106-1129):
opening a .npy SDR capture instantiates SoftwareFPGA + ReplayEngine;
the dashboard's opcode dual-dispatch routes spinbox changes to the
SoftwareFPGA setters so re-processing reflects live param tweaks.
With the import broken since April, that path silently dies.

fpga_model.py:
- New top-level constants: FFT_SIZE=2048, NUM_RANGE_BINS=512 (from
  RangeBinDecimator.OUTPUT_BINS), DOPPLER_CHIRPS=48,
  DOPPLER_TOTAL_BINS=48 (track current production: PR-O.6 / PR-F).
- run_range_fft(iq_i, iq_q, twiddle_file): N inferred from input
  length; works for legacy 1024-pt and production 2048-pt callers.
- run_range_bin_decimator(range_i, range_q, mode): per-frame wrapper
  over RangeBinDecimator.decimate (4x decim -> 512 bins).
- run_mti_canceller(decim_i, decim_q, enable): 2-pulse canceller,
  ported verbatim from golden_reference @ commit 237e74c~1.
- run_doppler_fft(mti_i, mti_q): num_subframes inferred from chirp
  count; RANGE_BINS overridden per input shape so legacy
  2-sub-frame (32-chirp) and production 3-sub-frame (48-chirp)
  callers both work.
- run_dc_notch(doppler_i, doppler_q, width): per-bin DC notch,
  generalised to any sub-frame count.
- run_cfar_ca(...): CA / GO / SO modes with bit-accurate alpha-q44
  threshold + 17-bit saturation, ported from golden_reference.
- run_detection(doppler_i, doppler_q, threshold): |I|+|Q| L1 magnitude
  threshold detection.

software_fpga.py:
- _GOLDEN_REF_DIR (cosim/real_data/) -> _FPGA_COSIM_DIR (cosim/)
- `from golden_reference import (...)` -> `from fpga_model import (...)`
- TWIDDLE_1024 -> TWIDDLE_2048 (production 2048-pt range FFT).
- Stage 1 comment: "Range bin decimation (1024 -> 64)" ->
  "(production 2048 -> 512)".
- Stage 1 twiddle path picks fft_twiddle_2048.mem only when
  n_samples=2048 matches; otherwise None to fall back to math-
  generated twiddles for legacy callers.
- Module docstring updated to reflect post-cleanup history.

test_v7.py — modernise three tests to current production dimensions:
- test_process_chirps_returns_radar_frame: pad input to 2048 samples;
  assertions reference NUM_RANGE_BINS / NUM_DOPPLER_BINS from
  radar_protocol; n_dop derived from input chirp count.
- test_cfar_enable_changes_detections: 48 chirps x 2048 samples;
  output (NUM_RANGE_BINS, NUM_DOPPLER_BINS).  No longer skips on
  cosim absence — uses synthetic input.
- test_get_frame_raw_iq_synthetic: (2, 48, 2048) raw IQ;
  (NUM_RANGE_BINS, NUM_DOPPLER_BINS) output.
- test_cosim_dir: also skip when doppler_map_*.npy absent (matches
  _cosim_available pattern in TestSoftwareFPGASignalChain).

Local: test_v7 100/0/0 (9 graceful skips: optional deps + missing
cosim .npy data), test_GUI_V65_Tk 117/0/2.  Down from 21 ERRORs.
