Put ESP Screens in English and keep layouts when entity IDs change (0.2.40)

Browse Source 
Everything a user sees or reads is now English: both boards' labels,
status replies and logs, the ESP Screens editor and Alerts cheatsheet,
and the README and guides (docs/TILES.md, CALIBRATING.md, ACCEPTANCE.md
and TROUBLESHOOTING.md replace the Dutch file names). Labels follow
Home Assistant's own English names (Heat/Cool modes, Heating/Cooling
actions, Away, Returning to dock, weather conditions), dates use English
abbreviations and the top bar writes numbers the English way. Docs use
HA 2026.9's menu names (Settings -> Apps, App store, Settings -> Tools).
Unused legacy files (home-like.yaml, buttons.yaml, a.out) are removed.

Firmware 0.2.34 names its entities in English. Home Assistant registers
a renamed ESPHome entity under a new entity ID, so the inbox
text.<screen>_tegelinstellingen becomes text.<screen>_tile_settings and
the layout stored under the old ID would be lost. The manager now
recognises the screen by its device, during a run or after a restart,
and moves its layout and update history along; the Update button and
the nightly round follow the screen through the rename. Screens that
still run 0.2.33 or older keep working: both languages are matched.

Main is the only release branch from now on.

Tested on a Home Assistant Yellow (HA 2026.9.1) with both bench boards:
see docs/TEST_RESULTS_0240.md.

# Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Check first |
|---|---|
| No USB port | Data cable, a different USB port, board power; compare `python -m serial.tools.list_ports` before/after connecting. Install the USB chip vendor's driver if needed. |
| Permission denied on Linux | Access to the serial device group (often `dialout`); log in again after a group change. |
| Port busy | Stop ESPHome logs, the IDE monitor, and other serial readers. One reader at a time. |
| Upload keeps connecting | Check the correct board/port. Hold BOOT while connecting and release afterward if the board requires it. |
| Build fails | Python 3.11–3.14 and ESPHome 2026.6.2; the full unpacked folder, local fonts/components present, internet, and disk space. Save the first real error from the build log. |
| White/black or wrongly rotated image | Check the ILI9341 + XPT2046 variant. Don't blindly copy the pins, rotation, or SPI settings from a different CYD model. |
| No measurement screen | The upload must be complete, not just the build. Flash with `-s CALIBRATION_ON_BOOT true`. Look for `USB calibration ready` in the USB logs; a normal boot shows no crosshairs. |
| No measurements | Five crosshairs visible, other log reader closed, correct port. Press Enter in the wizard first, then tap the requested point three times, releasing in between. |
| Tap jumps to a different spot | Check the independent `verify`, your own `calibration.yaml`, and a fixed orientation. Don't use the same taps to both fit and verify. |
| Fit reports spread/error | Measure again following the prompts. Don't fix unstable ADC readings by raising the tolerance; check power, cable, and touch hardware. |
| Duplicate HA action | Check both the touch logs and HA automations. Don't use direct actions together with an automation on the action sensor for the same operation. |
| Wi-Fi doesn't connect | 2.4GHz, correct local secrets, network range. USB calibration doesn't need HA. |
| HA doesn't see the board | Manually use the IP from the logs; port 6053 reachable, correct encryption key, no guest network isolation. |
| Status works but action doesn't | Check the HA option for allowed device actions, `DIRECT_ACTIONS: "true"`, the real entity ID, and a supported action. |
| Vacuum/climate partly usable | Supported modes/attributes differ per integration; see TILES.md and test the same action in HA first. |
| Wrong pagination | `TILE_COUNT` is 1–10; hidden buttons up to six, two pages from seven on. Reflash after changing it. |
| Freeze/reset | Keep the USB log, check the reset reason/power, and run the render test. Note the action and time. |
For a USB log (stop other readers):
```sh
python diagnostics/capture_serial.py --port <USB_PORT> --seconds 120
```
The existing `CYD_STABILITY.md` and `TEST_RESULTS.md` describe earlier
investigation on one specific board. Their measurements are not calibration for
a new board. Start at [README.md](../README.md), keep a working
local configuration, and change one cause at a time.
