Subject: [PATCH] Interpolate sparse horizon CSVs instead of rejecting them
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Any CSV with ≥ 2 az_deg,alt_deg rows now works. Points are sorted by
azimuth, then linearly interpolated to fill all 360 degrees. A 28-point
sparse horizon profile interpolates cleanly; an exact 360-point file is
used as-is. Also resets the file input after upload so re-uploading the
same file works without picking a different one first.
