The Material Design Icons fonts of both boards had no bpp, so ESPHome rendered them at
its default of one bit per pixel while the text fonts already had four. On the CYD, at
18 and 28 px, a thin stroke such as the ring of mdi:power came out lumpy and uneven, and
every other icon had a ragged edge. All four icon fonts of both profiles now say bpp: 4;
the icon generator and its test keep that line. Costs the CYD 95 KB of flash (90 % of
the update slot in use on top of 0.2.74), no RAM.
App 0.2.75, firmware 0.2.63. Test results in docs/TEST_RESULTS_0275.md.

Max asked for many more tiles, a tile that takes the whole page as a light
switch you push without looking, and tiles that go to a page. The limit is
one tile per slot of the eight pages, 48, and the firmware keeps its tile
list on the heap sized to the layout (PSRAM on a Guition). A tile's size can
be `full`: one big button that lights up in the state colour while on, or the
double-width card's head with its small slider, direct controls or graph at
the bottom and the value the double-width card had no room for in between;
the clock, the forecast (with an hours strip) and the sun path fill the page.
Navigation tiles are the built-in entities screen.page_1 to screen.page_8:
an arrow or a chosen icon, the name and "Page n", a tap opens that page.
The app sends the three only to firmware 0.2.62+, the editor (the Vue port of
this round by the editor session, 00c9a4e) offers Normal / Double-width /
Full page and "Goes to page", and Claude in Home Assistant gets size: full and
the page tiles. Built-in tiles now send a chosen icon as its codepoint.
Found and fixed by the new host harness before release: the one-second tick
moved the analog clock's second hand (part 18) on a full forecast's hour label
during a page switch and corrupted it. Firmware 0.2.62; both C++ and Python
suites, host harness 37/37 on both boards, hardware pass on both bench boards
in docs/TEST_RESULTS_0274.md.

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 name stays on the left; up to six items go on the right: the time, an
analog clock, the date, or a Home Assistant entity with its icon, showing its
state or how long ago it changed, always or only while active. The add-on
formats entity text in Dutch and sends it as op: header right after the layout
to firmware 0.2.32+; older firmware keeps the clock of show_clock, which now
follows the clock item.
The firmware draws every value in one font on the name's baseline, centres
icons and the dial on the digit height and measures gaps between glyph ink, so
the bar looks even; the editor's mockup uses Roboto and the same integer rules.
tools/render_topbar.py renders the real LVGL code on a computer (ESPHome host +
SDL2). The editor's section buttons are gone.
Firmware 0.2.32 for both boards.

Every screen gets the user action esphome.<device>_show_alert with title,
subtitle, icon, color, button_text, timeout and flash. The card sits on
LVGL's top layer above every page, card and the dim overlay, wakes the
screen and keeps the backlight at its normal brightness until the button
(or the timeout; 0 waits for the button, the button always closes at
once). flash: true blinks the backlight four times on arrival. Icons are
the tile picker names (also mdi:name or the hex codepoint of a compiled
glyph, else alert-outline), colours the tile pastels. A new alert replaces
the current one; every ending fires esphome.screen_alert with action,
title and screen. dismiss_alert removes the card remotely.
The field is button_text rather than button: ESPHome reserves the names
of loaded components as ids and the CYD profile loads button:. The C++
namespace is screen_alert because the widget id alert_overlay becomes a
global lv_obj_t*.
tools/generate_icons.py now also writes tile_icon_names.h (name to
codepoint) from the one icon list. Firmware 0.2.31 for both boards.

- screen_manager/app/tile_icons.py is the single icon list (12 groups, 20 media
and music icons); tools/generate_icons.py writes it into the three icon fonts
of both boards and builds the editor's subset font.
- Firmware 0.2.18 shows o.icon when its fonts carry the glyph, else the domain
icon. The app sends the chosen icon, or Home Assistant's own mdi icon on auto.
- Tile sheet gets an icon picker with search; the mockup shows the icon the
screen actually draws.
