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.

Dark mode is a new switch under Brightness on the screen's settings page, in
the Screen settings of ESP Screens and as switch.<screen>_dark_mode in Home
Assistant, so an automation can turn it on at bedtime. The screen changes
look at once, open cards and an alert included, and keeps it after a
restart. The design stays the same: a black page, graphite cards with a
hairline, soft white text, Home Assistant's state colours where they tell
something, and pastel card colours as deeper versions of themselves.
Every colour the firmware chooses now lives in components/smart_display/
theme.h: roles with a light and a dark value, the named card colours and
Home Assistant's state colours. The board profiles give widgets colourless
shared styles that theme.h fills, so a change of look refills those styles
and draws again what code painted by state. The light look is unchanged
apart from merges below one panel step. Dark mode costs 440 bytes of static
RAM on the CYD, and the LVGL tree of the host build is 416 bytes smaller; tests
keep colours out of every other file.
Comparing a screen that switched looks with one that booted in it also
found two older bugs, now fixed: a settings switch that was on showed its
knob at the left whenever its page was drawn, and the sun card's sunlit
area turned orange after a palette change. Firmware 0.2.54.
