- Text elements can scroll in a window at a set speed; clock, countdown and
stopwatch can show seconds. Moving pages are sent as instant frames (new
Nano command D1) and paced by the estimated flip time.
- Countdown to a date and time (smart, days, days + time, with seconds),
stopwatch (web UI, HA switch and reset button), image element (fixed or
by Home Assistant state), multiplier for HA values, degree sign (char 127)
in all fonts and the font converter.
- Page format version 2; version 1 pages are converted.

Home Assistant: remove the Clock switch (its entity is deleted on connect),
add an IP sensor and Mode / Off image dropdowns whose options follow the
saved bitmaps. Remove the built-in "Nintendo border" bitmap.
Off image: a bitmap (or blank) left on the dots when the display switches off.
Nano: pause after each flip pulse and repeat pulses for changed dots, both
stored in EEPROM (G/N commands). Refresh effects (E command): instant,
sparkle, wipe, rain, from the middle out, diagonal, spiral, flip all then
reveal, push and random, optionally only for small changes. Effects run in
steps from loop() so serial input keeps flowing.
Web UI: flip settings, refresh effect and test patterns under Settings; the
System tab shows why the ESP32 last restarted. Settings records from
versions 1 and 2 are migrated. Firmware 2.3.0.

Structure (src/esp32/):
- logic/: DisplayController, schedule, power timer, LED pattern; pure C++
- display/: FlipdotFrames and bitmaps
- nano_link/: NanoLink (relay, serial, READY, bootloader) and flash bridge
- net/: WiFi/OTA/panic window, Home Assistant
- config.h with all settings; libs.h (globals in a header) removed
Bug fixes:
- Home Assistant switches now report their state back and start as ON
- loop() no longer blocks: WiFi.waitForConnectResult() (up to 60 s
without WiFi) and getLocalTime() (5 s before NTP sync) were called
every iteration
- Power switch off now powers off after 1 s even when a 30 s countdown
is already running
- millis() overflow safe power-off timer; no frame catch-up bursts
- No garbage time string before NTP sync; 'Connecting...' stays instead
- Frames are only sent when the screen changes instead of every second
- Reset reasons are logged once instead of every 100 ms
- Removed dead code (unused fonts, WiFiMulti, rotated bitmap, ...)
Tests: new test_esp32 environment (26 tests); native renamed to test_nano

- New native environment: pio test -e native
- test/mocks: fake Arduino core, EEPROM and recording BROSE9323 driver
- test/test_nano: 25 tests covering every command, bitmaps, bad input,
flip time storage and the periodic full redraw
- Board environments ignore tests so they are never uploaded

- config.h: all constants and debug defines
- command_parser.h/.cpp: CommandParser class, one method per command
- settings.h/.cpp: EEPROM flip time storage
- main.cpp: setup/loop and the periodic full redraw only
- Full redraw now checks frameEnded() after the serial buffer is drained
- Drop the SPI/Adafruit_I2CDevice include workaround (not needed)

- ESP32 talks to the Nano on UART2 (GPIO 17 TX / GPIO 16 RX); Serial (USB)
is now free for debug output and boot messages no longer reach the Nano
- README: wiring table, actual schedule (clock from 08:00), TODO section
for the rewiring

Nano / driver:
- No full on/off flip at boot; the first display() after boot is a forced
full redraw instead, since the physical dot state is unknown
- Send READY when booted
ESP32:
- relayOn() only switches and waits when the relay was off, and waits for
the Nano's READY (3 s timeout) instead of a fixed 3 s on every frame
- relayOff() ends Serial and releases the TX pin so the idle-high line no
longer back-powers the Nano through its RX pin
- No display commands are sent while the relay is off
- Switching the relay on cancels a pending power-off countdown

- Commands run on '\n' instead of busy-waiting for a byte count, which
fixes s/F/T waiting for the next command and P drawing 0xFF garbage
- Invalid bitmaps no longer leak their data as commands; bitmap data is
streamed so full-screen bitmaps still fit
- Store flip time as uint16 with magic marker, validate 50-2000 us
- Overflow-safe millis() handling for the periodic refresh
- Run the full refresh only after D or when serial is idle, so incoming
data is not lost while the redraw blocks
- Put the boot refresh measurement behind MEASURE_REFRESH
- Fix DEBUG hex output and use F() strings to save RAM
- Driver: direct mode now updates the old buffer instead of re-setting
the new one
