## Endpoints
### Status
### Status and Logs
- **`GET /api/status`**
Retrieves the real-time status of the LTC reader and system clock synchronization. The `ltc_timecode` field uses `:` as a separator for non-drop-frame timecode, and `;` for drop-frame timecode between seconds and frames (e.g., `10:20:30;00`).
**Possible values for status fields:**
- `ltc_status`: `"LOCK"`, `"FREE"`, or `"(waiting)"`
- `sync_status`: `"IN SYNC"`, `"CLOCK AHEAD"`, `"CLOCK BEHIND"`, `"TIMETURNING"`
- `jitter_status`: `"GOOD"`, `"AVERAGE"`, `"BAD"`
**Example Response:**

### Sync
- **`GET /api/logs`**
Retrieves the last 100 log entries from the application.
**Example Response:**

- **`POST /api/nudge_clock`**
Nudges the system clock by a specified number of microseconds. This requires `sudo` privileges to run `adjtimex`.
**Example Request:**
```json
{
"microseconds": -2000
}
```
**Success Response (200 OK):**

- **`POST /api/set_date`**
Sets the system date. This is useful as LTC does not contain date information. Requires `sudo` privileges.
