Three problems surfaced during the first 13.3" end-to-end run:
1) LittleFS IntegerDivideByZero on 200 → write /img.bin. Cause: the
~3.5 MB SPIFFS in default_16MB.csv can't fit three 960 KB setup
screens + a 960 KB cached image (~3.84 MB). Switching to a custom
partitions_13e6.csv with 24 MB LittleFS on the 32 MB flash.
2) Yellow wash across the panel on long SPI bursts. Cause: SPI DMA
from a PSRAM-backed scratch buffer hits a cache-coherency window —
the CPU's writes hadn't reached PSRAM yet when DMA read it. Push
each half in 8 KB chunks through an internal-SRAM (DMA-coherent)
scratch, and drop the bus clock to 4 MHz to match the 7.3"
production speed.
3) Bootstrap window (no image yet) was deep-sleeping for 15 s between
polls — each cycle a ~5 s ROM-boot + Wi-Fi reconnect, so the user
waited ~20 s × N retries between scanning the setup QR and seeing
their first photo land. Now normal_operation_impl returns early
during bootstrap and main.cpp's normal_operation loops with a
2 s delay, keeping Wi-Fi up. Once the first image arrives, the
normal scheduled deep sleep takes over.
Also fixes a related bug Matt called out: a transient TLS hiccup
during bootstrap was hitting the 5xx fallback path and painting a
full yellow fill over the green setup QR, leaving the user with
no claim path. Criterion is now "does /img.bin exist?" (panel has
something worth showing with a border) rather than "is currentImgId
set?", so a fresh device with no cached image preserves the setup
screen through transient network errors.
Diagnostic prints in the panel driver + [op] start/code lines in
normal_operation_impl that proved invaluable during bringup; leaving
them in for now. Tests updated for the new bootstrap semantics
(deep sleep no longer arms on bootstrap-cycle 204/404/5xx); 43/43
native tests pass, 7.3" production build stays byte-identical.

- SPI corruption: lower clock to 4 MHz (matches 7.3" prod) and push from
internal SRAM in 8 KB chunks instead of streaming directly from a PSRAM
scratch buffer. On the S3, Arduino's SPI DMA reads RAM directly — the
CPU's cache can hold writes to PSRAM that the DMA never sees, painting
the panel yellow/garbage. Internal-SRAM chunks are DMA-coherent.
- LittleFS partition: switch the env to default_16MB.csv. The stock
partition table for esp32-s3-devkitc-1 reserves ~1.5 MB for SPIFFS;
three 960 KB setup-screen .bin files need ~2.9 MB + LittleFS metadata.
- Setup screens: redesigned to match the 7.3" information density —
yellow header band, two-column body with vertical divider, "Connect to
WiFi" heading + 5 numbered steps + manual QR + side label on the left,
Step 1 / Step 2 QRs on the right.
- Orientation diagrams: PORTRAIT drawn upright (ribbon-bottom, up-arrow);
LANDSCAPE drawn pre-rotated 90° CCW so it snaps to upright landscape
when the user rotates the frame 90° CW (ribbon-bottom + left-arrow in
portrait view → ribbon-left + up-arrow after rotation). "LANDSCAPE"
label runs vertically up the long edge so it reads horizontally once
the frame is mounted landscape.
- New helper paste_rotated_text() — PIL's text() can't rotate, so render
→ rotate → paste-with-alpha. Used for the vertical LANDSCAPE label.

Adds a second panel target alongside the 7.3":
- src/panels/waveshare13e6/v1/ — full epd.h impl with hardware SPI on
FSPI, dual-CS dispatch (CS_M/CS_S split halves), PSRAM framebuffer
for image/QR/setup-screen render paths
- src/test_display_13e6.cpp + [env:test-display-13e6] — self-contained
first-pixels color-bar smoke test, kept as a hardware diagnostic
- [env:waveshare13e6-v1] — production env: ESP32-S3-WROOM-2 N32R16V
with OPI flash + OPI PSRAM (the WROOM-2 is octal flash; QIO mode
crashes at do_core_init startup.c:328)
- scripts/gen_screens_13e6.py + data/waveshare13e6-v1/ — 1200x1600
portrait setup screens with QR overlay regions matching the driver
- scripts/data_dir.py — extra_scripts shim that routes uploadfs to the
right data/ tree based on $PIOENV (PlatformIO ignores per-env data_dir)
- src/epd.h: epd_setup_pins() abstraction so each panel driver owns its
own pinMode + SPI.begin; main/test_display/sim_border lose all
panel-specific GPIO and call epd_setup_pins() once at boot
- src/operation.h: report PANEL_ID via X-Panel-Id header on every poll
so the server can auto-correct Device.model
7.3" production env stays byte-identical, all 43 native tests pass.

PlatformIO silently ignores data_dir inside [env:…] blocks (it warned
"Ignore unknown configuration option `data_dir`" on every run, but we
read past it). Without a recognized data_dir, uploadfs packed the entire
project data/ root into LittleFS, putting every file under
/waveshare73-v1/<file> instead of /<file>. The firmware looks at /, so
draw_from_lfs fell back to its solid-yellow epd_fill — a blank yellow
panel after a fresh uploadfs.
Moving the directive to the project-level [platformio] section makes
PlatformIO honor it. All envs currently target the V1 panel so a single
project-level data_dir is fine; when a second panel ships, swap via an
extra_scripts shim that picks the dir from \$PIOENV before uploadfs runs.
Reorganizes the tree so adding a new panel is purely additive — drop in a
new src/panels/{vendor}/v{N}/ folder and a new platformio.ini env block,
no surgery to existing files.
Layout:
src/ shared across all panels
src/panels/waveshare73/v1/ V1 driver, version, README
data/waveshare73-v1/ LittleFS payload at this panel's size
src/config.h still defines the panel-agnostic bits (NVS keys, color
palette, network, sync-fail border) but EPD_WIDTH / EPD_HEIGHT / pin
assignments now come from each env's -D flags. Strict #error guards in
production builds; native tests get the V1 defaults via UNIT_TEST.
build_src_filter per env picks the right driver:
waveshare73-v1 main + panels/waveshare73/v1/
test-display test_display + panels/waveshare73/v1/
sim-yellow sim_border + panels/waveshare73/v1/
sim-red sim_border + panels/waveshare73/v1/
native-test unchanged
When V2 hardware lands, the diff is a new env block, a new
src/panels/waveshare133/v1/epd_driver.cpp, and regenerated screens at
data/waveshare133-v1/. Existing V1 envs stay frozen — re-flashing old
units remains a one-liner.
scripts/gen_screens.py takes --panel to target the correct
data/{panel}/ subfolder; defaults to waveshare73-v1.
29/29 native tests pass. All four hardware envs build clean.

Two pio envs that build a tiny sketch reading /img.bin from LittleFS and
calling epd_draw_image_with_border with the chosen color. Lets us verify
the actual on-device pixel composition of the sync-fail (yellow) and
no-WiFi (red) borders without standing up a server failure or pulling
the WiFi cable.
Each sim sets NVS err_border=1 before halting, so flashing back to the
normal env afterwards exercises the 304 → clean repaint recovery path
end-to-end.

Three bugs fixed:
- NVS img_id now written before epd_init/draw; new draw_needed flag in NVS
survives power-loss mid-refresh so next boot re-draws from LittleFS instead
of showing stale content
- epd_sleep() now only called when display was initialized this cycle,
preventing a 60 s wait_busy() timeout on every 304 poll
- esp_task_wdt_reset() added to wait_busy() loop so the ~20 s 6-color
refresh no longer triggers the task watchdog
Also extracts normal_operation into operation.h template and adds
a native PlatformIO test suite (16 tests) covering the full response matrix.

State machine:
- Boot: check 5s reset-button hold → wipe NVS creds; load saved SSID/pass
- If no creds (or reset): enter_provisioning() — WiFi.softAP + DNS redirect + WebServer
- If creds: attempt_wifi(); on success → normal_operation(); on fail → enter_provisioning()
- normal_operation(): HTTPS GET /api/device/{mac}/image → stream to LittleFS → display;
204 = keep current stored image; 404 = red fill; server error = yellow fill;
deep sleep 15 min between polls
Provisioning flow:
- AP SSID: "PictureFrame-{last4hex}" broadcast as open network
- QR on e-ink: WIFI:S:PictureFrame-XXXX;T:nopass;; → phone auto-joins AP
- Captive portal: redirect all DNS to 192.168.4.1; serve minimal HTML form
(handles iOS /hotspot-detect.html and Android /generate_204 redirects)
- POST /connect: async — respond immediately, attempt WiFi in loop()
Success: save NVS, show Phase 2 setup QR (green bg) → 2min delay → normal_operation()
Failure: red fill → restart AP
EPD driver refactor:
- Extracted epd_init/sleep/fill/draw_qr/draw_image_from_file into epd.h + epd.cpp
- epd_draw_qr(): ricmoo/QRCode library; computes modules inline per pixel row
- epd_fill(): solid color in one pass (used for red=no-wifi, yellow=sync-fail)
- epd_draw_image_from_file(): streams LittleFS binary directly to display
Removed: convert_photo.py (pre-rendering moved to server-side Imagick), image.h (PROGMEM array)
Added: config.h, epd.h, epd.cpp; updated platformio.ini (QRCode lib, littlefs fs)

Move firmware files from repo root src/ into firmware/ to avoid
collision with Symfony's src/ PHP class directory. Add DDEV
config targeting PHP 8.4 / PostgreSQL 16 / nginx-fpm with
Imagick extension via docker-compose override.
