Keep a long alert title on one line, ending in an ellipsis (0.2.64)

The title label had long_mode: DOT and a width but no height. LVGL 9.5 only
puts the dots on a label whose wrapped text is taller than the label, so the
label grew with its lines and a long title ran into the subtitle. It now has
one line of the headline font as its height (32 px Guition, 21 px CYD).

The Claude skill and the editor's alert tips said the CYD shows about forty
characters of a title; both screens show about twenty.

## 0.2.64 (firmware 0.2.55)
A long alert title stays on its own line.
- **An alert's title no longer runs into the text below it.** A title too long for one line, such as "Washing machine is done" on a Guition, wrapped onto a second line on top of the subtitle. It now ends in an ellipsis on one line, as the alert documentation says: "Washing machine is d...". A title that fits looks exactly as before; put the details in the subtitle.
- **Claude knows how long a title can be.** The Claude skill and the alert tips in ESP Screens said the CYD shows about forty characters of a title; both screens show about twenty. Install the skill again from Settings → Claude to get it.
- Needs firmware 0.2.55: press **Update** on the screen. Includes everything from 0.2.63.
## 0.2.63 (firmware 0.2.54)
Dark mode, for a screen beside the bed.
