Max Gramser d60a0f122b Show who is at the door: camera images on the Guition (0.2.66)
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.

"""Camera images on a Guition screen (app 0.2.66, firmware 0.2.57).
A screen never asks Home Assistant for a camera itself. This app fetches the snapshot with its own token (a
camera's access token changes every five minutes), makes it exactly as large as the screen shows it and serves
it as an uncompressed 24-bit BMP on its own port on the LAN, where the screen's ESPHome `online_image` loads it.
ESPHome decodes a BMP piece by piece while it downloads; a JPEG of the full screen held the Guition's main loop for
0.6 s (measured 2026-09-17), long enough to lose a tap. On the LAN the larger file costs nothing that matters.
Links are random and short-lived, and only a camera on the screen's layout or in a recent alert gets one. A screen
that loads a link gets the last snapshot at once, however long the camera takes to answer (ESPHome's HTTP client waits
in the screen's main loop, where touch and drawing wait with it), and the load starts fetching the next snapshot.
