feat: integrate WebSocket with live tracking

- Add WebSocket state variables (wsEnabled, wsConnected)
- Add initWebSocket() function with connection and event handling
- Add handleWebSocketScanUpdate() for processing WS scan events
- Modify startLiveTracking() to use WS mode with HTTP fallback
- Update index.html to load socket.io and websocket.js scripts
- Show [WS] indicator in status when using WebSocket mode

+## [1.0.0] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Added
+
+- **Multi-Scanner Peer Sync** - Multiple scanner instances share device metadata
+  - Peer registration API (`/api/peers/register`)
+  - Bidirectional sync (`/api/sync/devices`)
+  - Background sync thread (30s default interval)
+  - Automatic mutual registration between peers
+- **Source scanner tracking** - Synced devices retain original detector info
+  - Devices positioned relative to detecting scanner, not local scanner
+  - Moving local scanner doesn't affect synced device positions
+- **Peer scanner markers** - Show peer scanners on 3D map (cyan icons)
+- Scanner identity configuration (id, name, floor, position)
+- Timestamp-based conflict resolution for sync
+
+### Changed
+
+- Device positions now use peer's current position (live lookup)
+- Popup shows "Source: <scanner>" for remotely-synced devices
+
+---
+
+## [0.4.0] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Added
+
+- **Home Assistant Integration** - Webhook-based presence tracking
+  - Scan results webhook (`rf_mapper_scan`)
+  - New device alerts webhook (`rf_mapper_new_device`)
+  - Device departure webhook (`rf_mapper_device_gone`)
+  - Configurable timeout for departure detection
+- Scanner identity (id, name, floor) in webhooks
+- Absence checker background thread
