Download a screen's firmware and put it on from your own computer (0.2.68)

GitHub issue #8: Home Assistant on a server or virtual machine is out of
reach of the screen. New screen and Firmware & USB get a Download choice:
ESP Screens builds the profile's firmware as always and offers ESPHome's
factory image, which the owner flashes with ESPHome Web in Chrome or Edge.

- Firmware: a download job compiles without uploading; only the image of
  the profile's latest successful build in this process is served, a new
  job withdraws it, and a build without a factory image fails.
- USB on the Home Assistant machine stays first in both lists, also before
  a board is plugged in; Download and Later stay chosen once picked.
- The not-yet-in-Home-Assistant card knows a downloaded screen.
- The device name pattern is valid again under Chrome's v flag.
- Docs: README, DOCS, EASY_SETUP, DOCKER, TROUBLESHOOTING. App only;
  firmware stays 0.2.58.

| 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. |
| ESPHome Web shows no port or can't connect (Download) | Chrome or Edge on a computer; Safari, Firefox and phones can't reach USB. A data cable, and the driver for the board's USB chip if the computer asks for one (CH340 on most CYDs). Hold BOOT while choosing the port if it keeps failing to connect. |
| 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. |
