With saved credentials present (seeded from the WIFI_SSID build flag on
first boot), the recovery AP came up in AP+STA mode while auto-reconnect
and the 10s manual retry kept the station scanning. STA scans drag the
shared radio across channels, so joining clients' WPA2 handshakes timed
out - reported by phones as a wrong password.
Disable auto-reconnect and pause the 10s retry loop while the recovery
AP is active; retry the configured network once a minute instead, so the
AP stays stable between attempts and the node still self-recovers (and
shuts the AP down) when its network returns.

When a companion WiFi device has no WiFi credentials or can't connect for
60s, it broadcasts an 'EastMesh-WiFi' AP (WPA2 password = device pin
zero-padded to 8 digits; open if no pin set) with the rescue CLI on TCP
port 23, so wifi.ssid/pwd can be fixed without a serial cable.
- rescue CLI command handler now writes to any Stream (Serial or the TCP
rescue client)
- while the AP is up, STA keeps retrying; the AP shuts down automatically
once the configured network connects
- 'set wifi.ssid/pwd' keeps AP+STA mode during a rescue session so the
session isn't dropped mid-config
- guard ESP32-only SD/SPI code in ArchiveStorage so non-ESP32 builds of
the shared helpers get further

Integrates upstream v1.17.0. Key adaptations:
- companion + repeater NodePrefs moved to upstream's new ConfigSerializer
(prefs.json) format; EastMesh fields (companion wifi, repeater fan and
MQTT bridge peer) appended as serializer groups/keys
- legacy binary prefs loaders retain EastMesh tail fields, so existing
devices migrate their settings to the new format
- companion main.cpp adopts upstream InterfaceManager while keeping
runtime WiFi credentials from prefs
- kept EastMesh release-tag versioning in setup-build-environment action

Framework for upcoming variant-specific PRs that add LED feedback during boot. The hook gives users visual cues that the device is busy and
shouldn't be interacted with until startup completes.
- Remove extra blank line in companion_radio main.cpp before NRF52/STM32 block
- Revert unintended STM32_PLATFORM ETHERNET_ENABLED branch (no STM32 ethernet target exists, and it incorrectly included nrf52 headers)
- Drop renovate annotations from rak4631 platformio.ini (no renovate config in this repo)
The companion_radio example was not restoring the GPS enabled/disabled
preference from flash after reboot. The preference was being saved
correctly when toggled via the mobile app, but on boot,
sensors.begin() -> initBasicGPS() unconditionally sets gps_active=false
and nothing subsequently restored the persisted state.
Added applyGpsPrefs() (matching the pattern in simple_repeater,
simple_sensor, and simple_room_server) and call it from main.cpp
after sensors.begin() to ensure the GPS hardware is initialized
before the saved preference is applied.
The Ethernet retry loop in repeater and room server checked
hardwareStatus() and linkStatus() before calling Ethernet.begin(),
which always returned EthernetNoHardware since hardware detection
only happens during begin(). Extract shared Ethernet CLI code into
EthernetCLI.h to prevent future divergence. Also fix time_t type
mismatch in companion radio Ethernet init.

Add W5100S Ethernet adapter support for RAK4631-based firmware, enabling
TCP CLI access on port 23 as an alternative to BLE/Serial connections.
- New SerialEthernetInterface for nRF52 with DHCP, reconnection handling,
and shared WB_IO2 power pin management with GPS module
- Ethernet build targets for repeater, room server, and companion firmware
- Prevent GPS from toggling WB_IO2 when Ethernet module is active
- CI build check for all three ETH firmware targets
