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 card behind a media tile shows the album cover, the title, the artist and
the album, a progress bar that runs while the track plays with the times at its
ends, round keys for previous, play or pause and next, and a volume row with a
mute key, a wide slider and the percentage. Keys the player lacks stay faded,
an off player shows one power key, a stream without a length shows no bar, and
the CYD shows the player's icon in the cover's place. A media tile over the
whole page is the same card under the tile's head. media_card.h holds the
geometry, tests/test_media_card.cpp checks every shape.
The cover comes the way camera images do: the screen asks with the size and
the colour behind the corners, the app fetches the picture from Home Assistant,
cuts it square, rounds the corners over that colour and serves it on port 8098;
the Guition loads it once and asks again only when the picture's mark in the
state changes. Firmware 0.2.64.

An alert from esp_screens_show_alert takes a `camera` (a camera.* or image.* entity): a Guition with firmware
0.2.57 shows that moment's picture across the top of the card, and a tap opens the camera full screen. A camera
or image tile opens the same full-screen view, refreshed every four seconds at a steady pace.
ESP Screen Manager fetches the snapshot with its own access, sizes it for the screen and serves a 24-bit BMP
under a random, short-lived link on port 8098; the screen loads it with ESPHome's online_image and holds no
Home Assistant token. BMP because ESPHome decodes it per chunk, where a full-screen JPEG held the loop 0.6 s.
The CYD keeps its alerts without the picture and gets no camera tiles.
The Guition also builds with ESPHome 2026.8+ again: backlight_fade.h derived from ESPHome's LEDC output, which
2026.8 made final, so the backlight now dims through ESPHome's own light transition.
Tested on the bench boards and a local add-on on the Home Assistant Yellow; docs/TEST_RESULTS_0266.md.
