The firmware takes its texts from screen_manager/translations/<code>.json at build time (components/smart_display:
one table in main.cpp, keys in screen_text_keys.h), and the fonts carry every letter European languages write with.
The app keeps Settings -> Language & region (language, clock, numbers) for every screen, writes LANGUAGE into the
screens' YAML and sends the clock and the number format in the layout message; the per-screen 24-hour clock goes.

The add-on ships ESPHome 2026.9.0: it builds an ESP32 with ESP-IDF itself
and keeps a compiler cache. firmware.py gives the CLI its own storage in
/data (ESPHOME_DATA_DIR /data/esphome, which the ESPHome Device Builder no
longer wipes on start; ESP-IDF and ccache in /data/idf, at most 1 GB;
compilers limited to the core count as PlatformIO ran them), removes the
unused PlatformIO once before the first ESP-IDF build, and leaves the new
folders out of backups.
Firmware 0.2.75: assertion_level SILENT in every board's esp32 block, the
core logs from INFO, and clock_parts() in runtime_model.h replaces sscanf.
timer_left() caps a running timer at its duration (the screen's clock runs
up to a second behind Home Assistant's). The packages keep min_version
2026.6.2, the top-level online_image and OTA passwords for new screens, so
an add-on or Device Builder that isn't updated yet keeps building every
screen; CI now builds both boards with the add-on's ESPHome and with
min_version. ESP-IDF's error names stay on, and build_flags stay under
platformio_options, because ESPHome 2026.9's LVGL reads only those.
tools/check.sh: 478 Python tests, 19/19 C++, editor; --firmware PASS with
ESPHome 2026.6.2 (CYD 87.7 %), 2026.8.1 (88.3 %) and 2026.9.0 (86.4 %,
was 91.5 %). Both bench screens OTA'd and watched for half an hour;
ESP Screens as a local add-on on the Yellow built both profiles
(CYD 1,037 s first build, 41 s unchanged). Details:
docs/TEST_RESULTS_0289.md.

The two board profiles (5,000 lines each, 87 % the same text) become packages/core.yaml and one file per
board under packages/boards/: the hardware, a table of 84 sizes and font sizes, 18 hooks with the lines of C++
only that board adds inside a shared lambda, and the board's own sections. packages/cyd.yaml and
packages/guition.yaml keep their names and places (a screen installed from ESP Screens builds as before);
home-like-2432s028.yaml and guition-4848s040.yaml become the same entries for a checkout.
The firmware stays 0.2.70: the C++ ESPHome generates for each board, through the checkout profile and
through the GitHub package route, was compared line by line with the old profiles' (docs/TEST_RESULTS_0284.md).
tools/check_packages.py replaces tools/generate_packages.py; tools/profiles.py gives the tests and tools the
three files as one; docs/PROFILES.md says how the files fit together and how a board is added.
