Live picture (issue #4): a camera or image tile on a Guition takes
Display -> Live picture with a pace of 15 or 30 s. The camera tiles of a
page share one download: the screen asks ESP Screens for them together
(esphome.screen_camera with tiles, size and bg) and the app serves one
BMP, a strip of squares with the corners rounded over each tile's own
colour; every tile draws its square out of it with LVGL's image offset
(LV_IMAGE_ALIGN_TOP_LEFT: the default centres a taller source). A third
online_image on the Guition holds the strip; it loads after the alert's
picture, a cover and the camera full screen, never under a card, in
standby or under a finger. The strip is served whole every time: ESPHome's
http_request logs a 304 as a failed request. Firmware 0.2.77.
Alert button: esp_screens_show_alert takes action and data; the app
performs the action once when the button's report (esphome.screen_alert,
ok) comes from any screen. show_alert keeps its seven fields, so every
firmware from 0.2.31 has it.
Media card and full-page media tile: a title or artist line that is too
wide rolls by (LV_LABEL_LONG_SCROLL_CIRCULAR) instead of ending in dots.
Full-page tiles are white or their own pastel like every other tile; the
tint in the state colour of firmware 0.2.62 to 0.2.76 is gone.
Host harness (27 checks) and bench Guition + local add-on on the Yellow:
docs/TEST_RESULTS_0291.md. CYD firmware 1,633,728 B, 89.0 %.

- vue-i18n 11 with the Composition API: English comes with the page, any other language loads the first time it is
needed from screen_manager/translations, and a text a language lacks shows in English. The build keeps only _meta
and editor of each file (vite.config.ts), never the screens' or the add-on's texts.
- The editor follows the language of the user's Home Assistant profile (<html lang> of Home Assistant's page), else
the browser's; plural forms follow the file's _meta.plural, with the screens' rules.
- Every request tells the add-on the editor's language (X-ESP-Screens-Language), so its own words can follow it.
- The mockup draws the screens' words (Unavailable, Page 2 ›, the date, "5 min ago") in the screens' language, with
their clock and number format.
- Settings → Language & region: the screen language, time format and number format for every screen, with the user's
own profile offered when it differs. The per-screen clock choice goes; the top bar points there. A screen that
still needs the new language says so in its update badge.

A test and code-analysis round of 0.2.72 to 0.2.76 (suites at every tag, sanitizers, ESP32 and GitHub builds, host
harnesses on both boards, the editor in a browser, best practice checked against ESPHome, LVGL, Home Assistant and
Vue) found these, fixed here with Max's choices for the product questions:
- Firmware 0.2.65: the second hand of a single analog clock moves again; on a page that is one full on/off tile the
waking push also switches it; on the Guition a flick is never a tap and a finger that slides off a tile doesn't tap
it; Previous/Next react to a firm press; the same Go to page tile may sit on several pages; a layout the screen has
no memory for is refused instead of crashing; 64-bit redraw mask for 48 tiles; Montserrat 14 no longer built.
- App: Save refuses a layout too long for one message or too big for eight pages; an offline screen keeps its
firmware version from the device registry; HA refusals reach the editor; 128 KB requests; changelog out of the
live stream; cached hashed assets; tini as init and a clean stop; changelog parsing without asterisks or crashes.
- Editor: clicking the open screen keeps unsaved edits, edits during a save stay unsaved, a Page row and phone
dragging to other pages, repeated page tiles, limits from the server, HA's error messages, a type-checked build.
- tools/check.sh + GitHub Actions + a CYD flash budget; docs match 48 tiles and the new editor.

The page is now web/ (Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript), built into screen_manager/app/static
with hashed file names; server.py serves index.html as built and /assets/. The Python
API, the data and the firmware are unchanged. Your screens sit in a sidebar, the pages
of a screen stand next to each other at the screen's own shape, the library sits on the
right, and a tile's settings slide in as a drawer while the mockup stays in view. New
screen, Firmware & USB, Alerts, Override YAML and Settings are pages of their own.
Fonts moved to web/src/assets; the tests read the source through tests/editor_sources.py.

- The app listens for the Home Assistant events esp_screens_show_alert and
esp_screens_dismiss_alert and calls each screen's show_alert/dismiss_alert action,
screens added later included. Fields are typed like Home Assistant's ESPHome action
schema; an unusable value is left empty instead of losing the alert.
- Settings → Claude installs an ESP Screens skill for Claude Code in Home Assistant
(/homeassistant/.claude/skills/esp-screens) or downloads it as a zip for claude.ai.
It is generated from the alert reference, so fields, colors and icons match the firmware.
- New screen, Firmware & USB, firmware updates, Alerts and Claude move to a Settings view;
the header keeps one button. Unselected screens in My screens get a light grey card.
App only; firmware stays 0.2.38.
