Added:
-API for mod integration (e.g. RadioTowers):
  - `getGroundPositionForWave(level, pos)` for safe ground-level wave starts.
  - `activatePanelAt(level, pos)` / `activatePanelAt(level, pos, stationId)` / `activatePanelAt(level, pos, stationId, player)` for panel activation with optional station and discover/retune support.
  - `deactivatePanelAt(level, pos)` for turning off broadcasting at a panel.
  - `syncKnownTowersToPlayer(player)` for client tower cache resync.
  - `tunePlayerToEmergencyBroadcast(player)` helper for explicit emergency tuning.

-Internet radio integration in Dead Air audio stack:
  - Native MP3 stream support for CR1 and Ambiance FM.
  - Stream playback lifecycle integrated with walkie/radio state handling.

-Internet station UX bridge with RadioTowers:
  - Panel Internet station selection path now works cleanly with Dead Air station assignment and playback flow.

-Dynamic station expansion support:
  - Improved dynamic discovery so addon music mods can become stations automatically when they provide enough valid tracks.

-Custom station folder flow hardening:
  - Verified and improved folder-driven custom stations from `config/dead_air/custom stations/<Station Name>/*.ogg`.
  - Added/kept clear README guidance for player-created station folders.

-Addon station compatibility:
  - Added name overrides for official addon station mods so they display exactly as `Wayfarer Radio` and `Frontline FM`.

Changed:
-Default/dynamic station organization:
  - Creatopia Radio moved into default station behavior.
  - Removed old default station assumptions that conflicted with current station planning.

-Walkie persistence and playback behavior:
  - Improved station-state load handling to avoid unintended fallback retunes.
  - Internet stream behavior aligned with existing local-station controls.

Fixed:
-Panel station list duplication in walkie UI:
  - Previously selected panel stations no longer linger after station swaps.

-Unwanted emergency retunes:
  - Fixed station swap/open flows that could force the user back to Emergency Broadcast.
