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 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.
