Neither.  JTAlert does not support FT2 (decodium_3.0) and per
Laurie's announcement yesterday:
    <https://hamapps.groups.io/g/Support/message/51470>
there are no plans to do so.

Update: A company called Decodum is involved in this, and apparently
is running afoul of the GPLv3 license under which WSJT-X is distributed.
I would not be surprised that the software gets pulled due to this
deliberate illegal action.

Note that apparently Decodum is "illegal" per this message on the wsjtxgroup forum:
The author of Decodium has refused to provide me and other users access to the source code. This constitutes a violation of the GPLv3 license under which WSJT-X is distributed.

There are AI agents posting software, my first thought that may have been the culprit.  Three Italian hams used AI to develop ft2.
