Previously every successful config save triggered ESP.restart() — meant rapid
config changes caused reboot cascades and made the test suite unable to run
multiple cases against /config. Now restarts only if ssid/password/hostname/
ntp_server changed; other settings (brightness, timezone, intervals, coords,
display options) apply live without reboot.
tests/test_device.py: fixed expected field names for /api/time
(time/hours/minutes/epoch instead of current/timezone_offset/ntp_synced).
Test suite: 73/73 passing on hardware. Heap drift <1KB across full fuzz run.

Previously /config accepted any value and called ESP.restart() — fuzz tests
(or any malicious POST) could save garbage SSIDs and brick the device until
FTDI recovery. Now:
- SSID: rejected if empty, >31 chars, non-printable, or all-same-char (HTTP 400)
- Password: rejected if >63 chars
- Hostname/city_name/ntp_server: length-validated
- Numeric fields (timezone, brightness, intervals, lat/lon, display): clamped
to safe ranges via constrain()
Tested on hardware: ssid="AAAA..." now correctly returns HTTP 400 and
preserves existing config. Device survives entire fuzz suite.

WiFi.begin() internally resets mode to STA, immediately destroying the
fallback AP that was just created. Fix: restore WIFI_AP_STA mode after
begin() when in AP mode, so TJ56654-Setup stays visible.
This was why the fallback AP was never visible despite being 'created'.
Power-cycle the device 3 times within 10 seconds to trigger factory reset:
- Clears WiFi credentials (SSID + password) in EEPROM
- Shows "FACTORY RESET / WiFi: TJ56654-Setup / Pass: 12345678" on display
- Reboots into WiFiManager AP mode for reconfiguration
Counter stored at EEPROM offset 480 (well past Config ~260 bytes).
Clears automatically after 10s of stable operation.
Prevents the need for FTDI/USB recovery when credentials are corrupted.

C1 (critical): Add 15s watchdog for WEATHER_REQUESTING state — resets to
IDLE if TCP connection hangs silently, preventing permanent weather death
C2 (critical): Fix millis() rollover in all retry timers — replace unsafe
`millis() >= nextRetryTime` with subtraction-safe `(millis() - nextRetryTime)
< 0x80000000UL` in RetryConfig and WiFiRetryConfig; fix boot guard with
static flag instead of raw millis() comparison
H1 (high): Fix DST last-Sunday formula — was using incorrect year-only
heuristic; now derives weekday of the 31st from current day's tm_wday:
`weekdayOf31 = (tm_wday + (31 - day)) % 7`. Verified: March 2026 = 29th ✓
H2 (high): Replace String+= with snprintf+sendContent in handleAPITime,
handleAPIStatus, handleAPIDebug, handleAPIWeather — eliminates permanent
heap fragmentation from JS polling every second
H3 (high): Add volatile to weatherState and ntpState — shared between
ESPAsyncTCP callbacks and main loop; prevents stale register-cached reads
RAM: 37,268 bytes (46%) — reduced from 37,560 due to String elimination

After 3 consecutive API failures, weatherRetry.reset() was never called
and weatherState stayed WEATHER_FAILED permanently. Both the retry path
and periodic refresh path require WEATHER_IDLE, so no new requests were
ever made — even after the API recovered.
Fix: when maxRetriesReached(), reset weatherRetry and set weatherState
back to WEATHER_IDLE so the next periodic refresh interval (default 30min)
triggers a fresh attempt automatically.

clock_ntp_ota_v1.9/ → weather_clock/ (version no longer baked into path)
clock_ntp_ota_v1.9.ino → weather_clock.ino
Version is tracked in config.h (FIRMWARE_VERSION), not in filenames.
Updated references in README, CONTRIBUTING, and docs/INSTALLATION.md.
Note: forks using the old path will need to sync this rename before
submitting new PRs.

WiFi.begin() without params connects to any SDK-cached network, including
open public hotspots, and then overwrites config.ssid with the wrong SSID.
Now Try 1 (SDK credentials) is only attempted on first boot when no SSID
is configured. Once the user has saved credentials, we go straight to
Try 2 (EEPROM config), so the correct network is always used.

- Use localTime instead of epochTime when formatting date string,
so date rolls over at local midnight, not UTC midnight (fixes#5)
- Remove WEATHER_SUCCESS state assignment that blocked periodic refresh;
state correctly stays WEATHER_IDLE after successful fetch (fixes#7)
- Fix weather debug page "Last update" to show elapsed seconds
(millis() - lastUpdate) instead of raw timestamp
Applied from PR #6 by @Mysteoa with a compilation fix in web_server.cpp
(missing closing parenthesis in snprintf_P call).

## Problem
Previous versions would clear WiFi credentials on connection failure,
requiring manual reconfiguration via captive portal after each WiFi outage.
## Solution
- Never clear credentials on connection failure
- Infinite retry with exponential backoff (5s → 10s → 20s → ... → 5min max)
- Fallback AP ("TJ56654-Setup") enabled after ~5 min of failed attempts
- Dual STA+AP mode allows configuration while still retrying connection
- AP automatically disabled when WiFi reconnects
## Changes
### WiFi Credential Handling
- Try SDK-stored credentials first (from WiFiManager)
- Fall back to EEPROM config if SDK credentials fail
- Fixes OTA update credential loss issue
### User Experience
- Display shows "No WiFi" with retry countdown instead of cryptic numbers
- "!" indicator in date line when WiFi is disconnected
- Clock continues running with last synced time during outage
### Network Activity (~50 requests/day)
| Service | Interval | Endpoint |
|---------|----------|----------|
| NTP | 1 hour | pool.ntp.org:123 (UDP) |
| Weather | 30 min | api.open-meteo.com (HTTP) |
| mDNS | continuous | 224.0.0.251 (multicast) |
