The Nano's periodic full redraw blocked for ~0.8 s. A frame that arrived
meanwhile overflowed its 64-byte serial buffer; lost bytes in a bitmap
shift the rest of the image (picture moved up), and diff frames never
repaired it.
- Nano: all drawing (frames, effects, the dot refresh) runs from update()
in ~1 ms slices; the refresh pauses while a frame is received or shown
- New commands: C (reply with the image checksum) and I (refresh minutes,
EEPROM)
- ESP32: NanoMonitor asks for the checksum after frames and sends the whole
image again on a mismatch, missing answer or Nano restart; counts ERR
replies. Periodic whole-image resync.
- Settings: "Dot refresh" and "Image resync" intervals (settings v5,
v4 records are migrated)
- System tab: loop timing, free memory, frame check counts
- test_driver: the real driver against a simulated panel

Frames were sent as F0 plus one s command per yellow dot (thousands of
characters). During scrolling that overran the Nano's serial buffer, and
half-received frames redrew the whole screen. showBitmap() now sends two B
commands over the changed rectangle (dots off, dots on), or one B command for
a full frame, and the pacing counts the characters sent.

- 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.

- Web UI on port 80: live view of the display, choose the page (clock or
a bitmap), bitmaps (list, show, live, edit, delete), draw / image upload
with conversion in the browser, live mode, settings, Home Assistant
- Live view from a shadow buffer in the BROSE9323 driver (shownPixel)
- Settings in NVS with the original behaviour as defaults: schedule times,
quarter hours, yawning Pikachu, No WiFi screen, flip time, status LED,
Home Assistant broker (restart on change)
- Bitmaps on LittleFS; new 320 KB partition, ota slots now 1.31 MB
- DisplayController: pages, live mode, settings; app.cpp holds the objects
- README for the recovery app; docs for the web UI
- Tests: settings, time parsing, bitmap format and names, schedule with
settings, pages and live mode (95 total)

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

- Shared BROSE9323 driver in lib/, ESPSERIAL selected via build_flags
- Nano firmware in src/nano, ESP32 firmware in src/esp32
- Move WiFi/MQTT credentials to gitignored secrets.h (template provided)
- Pin home-assistant-integration to 2.1.0 from the registry
- Add esp32_usb environment for first flash / recovery
- Add READMEs and CLAUDE.md
