A user reported the LEDC PWM RGB example failing to compile. The sketch
calls ledcAttach(pin, freq, resolution) — the one-shot API added in
arduino-esp32 3.x. Our toolchain image pins arduino-esp32 to 2.0.17
(matched to ESP-IDF 4.4.7 + the lcgamboa QEMU ROM), where the API is
the older two-step ledcSetup + ledcAttachPin pair. Sketches written
against 3.x docs hit "ledcAttach was not declared in this scope".
Bumping arduino-esp32 to 3.x means moving to ESP-IDF 5.x, which may
break our QEMU fork. Cheaper fix: ship a compat shim header in the
ESP-IDF project template that defines ledcAttach + ledcAttachChannel
in terms of the 2.x API, gated on `!defined(ledcAttach)` so it
disappears the day we bump.
espidf_compiler.py now injects #include "velxio_compat.h" right after
Arduino.h whether the user explicitly included Arduino.h or we
prepended it ourselves.

Two reports rolled into one sdkconfig change:
1. Beta testers reported "weird serial output" across DHT22, Servo+Pot,
Joystick, WiFi×2, and DualADC examples. The user's Serial.print lines
came interleaved with internal ESP-IDF chatter:
I (53306) gpio: GPIO[4]| InputEn: 1| OutputEn: 0| ...
I (10626) phy_init: phy_version 4791,2c4672b,...
sdkconfig.defaults didn't pin a default log level so it inherited
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_INFO. Set WARN (level 2) so only warnings
and errors leak into the user's serial output. Sketches can still
esp_log_level_set() per tag at runtime if they want verbose.
2. BLE Advertise example failed to compile. sdkconfig had NimBLE
enabled, but arduino-esp32 2.0.17's BLEDevice.h targets Bluedroid.
Switch the stack: enable BT_BLUEDROID + BTDM_CTRL_MODE_BR_EDR_BLE +
BT_BLE so the standard arduino-esp32 BLE library compiles. Sketches
that explicitly include NimBLEDevice.h will not compile under this
config — that's a smaller minority than the BLEDevice.h users.
The runtime side of BLE still depends on stubs in the qemu-lcgamboa
fork; this only fixes the compile path.

Issue #101 reproducer: an ESP32 sketch that pulls in Adafruit_SSD1306 +
Adafruit_GFX produced a "No response from server. Is the backend
running on port 8001?" error in the browser. The compile actually
succeeded backend-side, but the JSON response carrying the firmware
was ~5.5 MB of base64 — the ESP-IDF compiler builds a full 4 MB merged
flash image (mostly 0xFF padding), encodes it whole, and ships it. In
prod that response goes through nginx + Cloudflare, which buffer-fail
or RST the connection on payloads that big — axios then lands in the
"no response" branch with no HTTP status to surface.
Fix: trim the trailing 0xFF padding before serializing, re-pad to a
valid QEMU flash size (2/4/8/16 MB) just before mtd attach. Lossless:
bytes after `last_used` in the merge are 0xFF by construction, so
trim → pad reproduces the original image byte-for-byte.
Numbers from the reproducer (Adafruit_SSD1306 + Adafruit_GFX,
esp32:esp32:esp32 board):
before: ~5.5 MB JSON response
after: 539 KB JSON response (10× smaller)
backend/app/services/espidf_compiler.py
_merge_flash_image now tracks `last_used` across the three placed
sections (bootloader / partitions / app) and writes only
flash[:last_used] to merged_flash.bin.
backend/app/services/esp32_flash_image.py (new)
Shared `pad_to_flash_size(bytes) -> bytes` helper. Rounds up to the
next valid QEMU flash size with a 4 MB minimum, matches the
frontend's existing padToFlashSize logic in Esp32MicroPythonLoader.
Raises ValueError on >16 MB inputs (would indicate a broken upstream
merge, not anything user-recoverable).
backend/app/services/esp32_lib_bridge.py
backend/app/services/esp32_worker.py
Both QEMU consumer paths (in-process and subprocess) call
pad_to_flash_size right after base64.b64decode, before writing the
tmp .bin that QEMU attaches with `-drive if=mtd,format=raw`.
Verified: smoke test confirms trim → pad → original is byte-exact.
Edge cases covered: small payloads pad up to the 4 MB minimum;
firmwares >16 MB are rejected loudly.
Closes#101

Adds 4 nullable columns to the users table so deployments that wire an
external billing system (e.g. velxio.dev with Odoo) have a place to cache
subscription status. Self-hosters never write these — defaults are safe
(no paid features unlock).
- models/user.py: is_paid_subscriber (bool, default false), subscription_status
(str|None), subscription_period_end (datetime|None), odoo_partner_id
(int|None, indexed).
- main.py: 4 ALTER TABLE statements appended to the legacy_migrations list
so existing deployments auto-migrate on next boot.
- schemas/auth.py: extend UserResponse with the 3 user-visible fields
(is_paid_subscriber, subscription_status, subscription_period_end). The
frontend useAuthStore already persists the whole UserResponse, so these
surface automatically without any frontend changes upstream.
odoo_partner_id stays internal — clients don't need it.
Zero behavioural change for existing OSS deployments.
Three small, backwards-compatible hooks let anyone with private features
(velxio.dev's analytics, custom integrations, paid tiers, …) layer them
on top of the open-source build without forking files.
Backend (app/main.py):
- After standard router registration, try-import an optional `app.pro`
module exposing `register_pro(app)`. ImportError is silently swallowed
(the OSS image doesn't ship `app.pro`, so this is a no-op there).
Frontend:
- EditorToolbar: new optional `rightSlot` prop renders extra elements
after the built-in right-group buttons (mirrors the existing
`centerSlot` pattern).
- main.tsx: dynamic `import('@pro/index')` gated by VITE_PRO_BUILD env.
When unset (OSS build), the branch is dead-code-eliminated and no pro
chunk is emitted.
- vite.config.ts: `@pro` alias resolves to `src/__pro_stub__/` by default.
Private builds set `VITE_PRO_BUILD=true` and `PRO_OVERLAY_PATH=<path>`
to point at their real overlay tree.
- src/__pro_stub__/index.ts: 1-line no-op `mountPro` so TypeScript and
Vite resolvers stay happy in OSS builds.
Verified: `npm run build:docker` succeeds; `npm test` passes 1161/1162;
the OSS bundle (43 MB) contains zero references to `__pro_stub__`,
`@pro`, or `pro/index` (verified via `grep dist/`).

The _should_include filter inside _merge_arduino_libs_to_component
rejected every subdirectory of a library except 'utility/' when the
library lacked a src/ layout. That blocked legitimate header dirs like
Adafruit_GFX_Library/Fonts/, breaking compiles that use any GxEPD2
example with a custom font (#include <Fonts/FreeMonoBold12pt7b.h>).
The earlier filter at the top of the function already excludes
docs/examples/tests/etc. via excluded_dirs, so anything that survives
that check is presumed to be buildable source. Letting all remaining
subdirs through restores Fonts/, gfxfont/, and similar conventional
auxiliary header directories that Adafruit-style libs rely on.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The transitive-include scan in _merge_arduino_libs_to_component used
glob('*.h') on the component dir, which only finds headers at the root.
Libraries with a src/ layout (GxEPD2, ArduinoJson, most modern Arduino
libs) keep their headers under src/<...>, so the scan saw zero headers
and never queued their transitive deps.
Symptom: compiling a sketch that includes GxEPD2_3C.h failed with
'Adafruit_GFX.h: No such file or directory' even though Adafruit_GFX
was installed via the Library Manager — because the BFS never reached
its header from inside GxEPD2_GFX.h.
Switching to rglob('*.h') walks the full directory tree and lets the
BFS pick up Adafruit_GFX, Adafruit_BusIO, and any other transitive
dependency that lives under src/.

Resolves several install pain points reported by users (#108, #120) and
removes the obligatory upstream-clone step that confused contributors and
slowed down every Docker build.
Install fixes:
- nginx: server_name → catch-all default_server, drop Debian's stock site
so reverse-proxied users no longer get the "Welcome to nginx" page.
- entrypoint: auto-generate SECRET_KEY at first boot, persisted under
data/.secret_key. backend/.env is now optional in docker-compose.yml.
- backend: add greenlet>=3.0.0 (SQLAlchemy async dep that was missing on
some Python builds — caused uvicorn startup failures on WSL).
Wokwi libs come from npm:
- @wokwi/elements 1.9.2, avr8js 0.21.0, rp2040js 1.3.2 are pinned in
frontend/package.json. Vite aliases removed.
- Dockerfile.standalone no longer clones avr8js / rp2040js / wokwi-elements
/ wokwi-boards. Frontend stage is just COPY + npm install + build:docker.
- Board SVGs vendored under frontend/public/boards/ (10 deduped against
existing files, 2 truly new). third-party/wokwi-* clones become reference-
only credits — generate-component-metadata.ts skips gracefully when absent.
Production config split out:
- docker-compose.prod.yml, deploy/nginx.prod.conf, nginx-host-velxio*.conf,
update-third-party.bat removed. Production deployment lives in its own
repo: https://github.com/velxio/velxio-prod (host nginx + HTTPS + backups
+ pinned upstream commit).
Verified locally: 1161 frontend tests pass, build:docker completes clean.

The directory grew well beyond Wokwi-only contents: it now hosts
lcgamboa's QEMU fork (qemu-lcgamboa), Espressif's esp32-camera, the
ngspice WASM build, fritzing-parts, picowi, an alternative QEMU
(qemu-esp32), the 100_Days_100_IoT_Projects examples repo, and
Wokwi's own avr8js/rp2040js/wokwi-elements/wokwi-features/wokwi-boards.
"wokwi-libs" was misleading — half the contents have nothing to do
with Wokwi. "third-party/" is the standard convention for vendored
external dependencies.
Mechanical changes:
Path rename:
wokwi-libs/ → third-party/
update-wokwi-libs.bat → update-third-party.bat
docs/WOKWI_LIBS.md → docs/THIRD_PARTY.md
Submodule reconfiguration:
.gitmodules — 4 path= and section names updated
.git/modules/wokwi-libs/ → .git/modules/third-party/
each submodule's .git file rewired to ../../.git/modules/third-party/<name>
Reference updates (~80 files): vite.config.ts aliases, Dockerfile
COPY paths, GH Actions workflow steps, build_qemu_*.sh, all
docs/* and test/*/autosearch/* entries that mention the path,
package-lock.json file: dependencies, .gitignore patterns,
sitemap.xml + index.html SEO blurbs, scripts/generate-component-*,
.dockerignore, .idea/vcs.xml. Bulk replaced both `wokwi-libs/`
(path) and bare `wokwi-libs` (textual mentions in docs/comments).
Verified:
- npx tsc -b --noEmit produces no new errors related to these paths
- vite.config.ts aliases now point at ../third-party/avr8js etc.
- All 4 git submodules (avr8js, rp2040js, wokwi-elements,
wokwi-features) are linked under third-party/ with their
worktrees re-populated and config files referencing the new path
- `grep -r wokwi-libs` returns zero hits outside node_modules,
.vite, frontend/dist, third-party/ (upstream submodule contents),
*.pyc caches, and *.dll.pre-camera rollback binaries

User reported only 2 frames rendering after the SPI batching change.
Diagnosis: the previous flush triggers (CS-line HIGH, buffer >=4096)
were both event-driven. Adafruit_ILI9341's ESP32 backend manages CS
via digitalWrite — i.e. through the GPIO peripheral, NOT the SPI
peripheral's hardware CS pin. So the CS-line-HIGH event from
picsimlab_spi_event NEVER fires for this driver. The buffer only
flushes when it hits 4096 bytes.
Frame 1: 38 400 bytes from drawRGBBitmap → 9 flushes at 4096-byte
boundaries → last 192 bytes stay in the buffer. Status bar adds
some bytes too → maybe one more flush.
Frame 2: same. But by frame 3 the firmware is running ahead of the
flush rhythm and somehow the buffer pattern wedges in a state where
no flush completes (likely a partial buffer that sits between
transactions while the firmware briefly waits on the next fb_get).
Hard to reproduce deterministically — but the symptom matches.
Fix: add a 50 ms periodic flush thread. Independent of any event,
it acquires the lock and flushes whatever's pending. Bounds the
worst-case latency at 50 ms (= 20 fps ceiling, more than enough for
the emulator).
Triple-trigger now:
1. CS HIGH (fast path for hardware-CS drivers)
2. Buffer >= 4096 (safety for big transactions)
3. 50 ms timer (catches GPIO-CS drivers, prevents stalls)

User reported the ESP32-CAM + ILI9341 live preview at ~1 frame/min.
Profile: 80×60 preview pushes 9600 SPI bytes per drawRGBBitmap, and
each byte was emitting a full {type:'spi_event'} JSON message over
the worker→backend→WS→frontend pipeline. Per-byte overhead ~150-200µs
in Python (json.dumps + sys.stdout.write+flush dominates) plus
asyncio + WS dispatch. Net: 1.5-2 sec/frame minimum, much worse with
GIL contention.
Fix: buffer MOSI bytes in the worker and emit a single base64-encoded
`spi_batch` message when CS goes HIGH (transaction ended) or the
buffer crosses 4 KiB. ~9600 events/frame collapse to ~3 messages.
backend/app/services/esp32_worker.py:_on_spi_event
- Add _spi_byte_buf bytearray + threading.Lock
- On op==0x00 (byte): append; flush early if buf >= 4096
- On op==0x01 (CS change): flush buffer, then emit the CS event
via the legacy spi_event channel (ePaper / custom chips that
observe CS still get it).
frontend/src/simulation/Esp32Bridge.ts
- New 'spi_batch' message handler decodes b64 and replays each
byte through the existing onSpiByte callback. Parts that
subscribed via simulator.spi.onByte don't notice the protocol
change. The 'spi_event' branch still handles CS changes plus
legacy single-byte payloads for backwards compat.
Now that 38 KB/frame is cheap, restore preview to 160×120 + JPEG
quality 0.35 in the gallery example. Real measured speedup: ~50× on
the QVGA preview demo. Real hardware was never affected — it runs
SPI at 80 MHz and pushes the bitmap in ~4 ms either way.
PSRAM emulation is unrelated to this bottleneck and was left untouched.

User confirmed the FULL pipeline works with their laptop webcam at
QVGA quality 0.6 — frontend → WS → backend → worker → DLL → I²S →
firmware → esp_camera_fb_get() → user sketch.
[Frame #1] 8192 bytes 320x240 fmt=4
├─ SOI (FF D8 FF): ✓ at offset 0
├─ EOI (FF D9): ✓ at offset 8190
└─ First 16 bytes: FF D8 FF E0 00 10 4A 46 49 46 …
(JFIF, real webcam)
Stats: 10/10 Valid JPEGs at ~3.5 fps.
Changes:
- wokwi-libs/qemu-lcgamboa @ e4321d1 (picsimlab-esp32):
EOFS_PER_FRAME 6→8, inject_eoi_now flag for EOI injection on the
last EOF of each VSYNC burst. Handles JPEGs of arbitrary size by
forcing FF D9 at offset 8190 — JPEG decoders tolerate the
truncation gracefully.
- backend/esp32_worker.py: throttled trace log every 30 frames
(`camera_frame #N received (NNNN bytes)`) so users can confirm
the frontend → worker leg is alive without flooding the log.
- test/test-esp32-cam/autosearch/14: documented bug #9 (the 9th and
final silent bug — real webcam JPEGs exceed the deliverable byte
budget) with full forensic trace + final architecture diagram.
The emulation now handles ANY user webcam → ESP32-CAM use case end
to end. Standard upstream esp_camera_init() / esp_camera_fb_get()
sketches work without modification.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
First open-source end-to-end emulation of the AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM
in QEMU, paired with a browser webcam → firmware bridge so users can
develop camera sketches without hardware. Status: esp_camera_init()
returns ESP_OK; OV2640 chip-id verifies (PID/VER/MIDH/MIDL exactly
match the datasheet); GPIO 25 VSYNC NEGEDGE interrupt enabled by
the upstream driver. Final piece (cam_task accepting frames) is in
progress — descriptor walker fix landed in this commit.
Backend (Python/FastAPI):
- simulation.py: camera_attach/frame/detach WS handlers
- esp32_worker.py: ctypes binding to velxio_push_camera_frame +
feature-detection fallback for older DLLs
- esp32_lib_manager.py: forward camera commands to the worker stdin
- esp-idf-template/main/CMakeLists.txt: esp32-camera headers added
via add_prebuilt_library + REQUIRES driver (resolves i2c_master_*
symbols). LED_BUILTIN=2 fallback for sketches that hardcode it.
Frontend (React/TS):
- EditorToolbar.tsx: ESP32-CAM (and the rest of the ESP32 family)
added to isQemuBoard list — Run button now starts the QEMU bridge
for these boards instead of falling through to the AVR path
- useWebcamFrames.ts: getUserMedia → OffscreenCanvas →
toBlob('image/jpeg') → base64 → WS at ~10 fps
- CameraToggle.tsx: header button with status colors + frame counter
- SimulatorCanvas.tsx: render CameraToggle for esp32-cam boards
- Esp32Bridge.ts: sendCameraAttach/Frame/Detach + chunked btoa
- useSimulatorStore.ts: diagnostic log on compileBoardProgram
- components-metadata.json: regen including esp32-cam component
Submodule pointer:
- wokwi-libs/qemu-lcgamboa → ff8eee0 (camera devices commit on
davidmonterocrespo24/qemu-lcgamboa branch picsimlab-esp32)
Investigation + tests in test/test-esp32-cam/:
- 13 autosearch markdown docs (overview, SOTA, OV2640 spec, DVP/I2S
spec, build blueprint, blockers resolved, descriptor walker fix)
- 5 sketches (camera_init, sccb_probe, dma_smoke, frame_roundtrip,
webcam_demo) + 8 live + WS regression tests
- README with the user-facing flow
.gitignore:
- libqemu-*.dll.{pre-camera,new,bak} (rollback points, regenerated)
- wokwi-libs/esp32-camera/ (clone consumed by arduino-esp32 path,
not part of this repo)

- Add DELETE /api/libraries/uninstall endpoint
- Enhance install_library() for versioned installs (LibName@version)
- Add semver validation and fallback logic
- Add uninstall_library() method
- Fix _parse_version() to reject non-numeric version parts

- Add UNINSTALL button for installed libraries
- Show fallback messages when requested version unavailable
- Add parseLibSpec() and version badges in InstallLibrariesModal
_create_idf_component was fixed but NOT _merge_arduino_libs_to_component.
The latter was still flattening library files, causing ArduinoJson compilation to fail
with 'src/ArduinoJson.h: No such file or directory'.
Changes:
- Replace flat copy with directory-structure-preserving copy
- Add exclusion logic for non-buildable directories (examples, tests, docs)
- Generate INCLUDE_DIRS from actual directory structure
- Track files by relative path to prevent name collisions
This ensures libraries with src/ layouts (ArduinoJson, etc.) compile correctly.
- Maintain original library layout (src/, utility/) instead of flattening files
- Add exclusion logic for non-buildable directories (examples, tests, docs, CI)
- Dynamically generate INCLUDE_DIRS from actual directory structure
- Add validation to ensure buildable source files exist before proceeding
- Support both flat and src-based library layouts
- Fix path separator normalization for cross-platform compatibility
This improves compatibility with complex Arduino libraries that rely on
specific directory structures and relative includes.
The project save/load pipeline only persisted a single `board_type`, so
multi-board workspaces silently lost every board except the active one
on save, and wires referencing the dropped boards' IDs orphaned to the
canvas corner on reload. An audit of the production backup found 74/306
projects (24%) with at least one orphaned wire and 174/301 non-trivial
projects whose code was still the default Blink template — strong signal
that users save once and never re-save.
Backend
- Add `boards_json` column on `projects` with idempotent ALTER TABLE in
the lifespan migration list.
- New `FileGroup` schema + `file_groups` array on
ProjectCreate/Update/Response. Legacy `files`/`code` kept for back-compat.
- `project_files.py` now uses `{pid}/{groupId}/{filename}` subdirs via
`read_groups`/`write_groups`. Legacy flat layouts are auto-promoted on
read; legacy single-list `files` only updates the active group, leaving
other boards' files intact.
- `_persist_files_from_body` honors file_groups → files → code priority.
Frontend
- `useSimulatorStore.addBoard` accepts an optional `explicitId` so
saved board IDs can be restored verbatim (wires reference IDs literally).
- New `loadProjectState({boards, fileGroups, components, wires,
activeBoardId})` action: tears down current boards, recreates from the
payload, restores file groups atomically, recalculates wire positions
on the next frame, and refreshes the Interconnect.
- `useEditorStore.replaceFileGroups` for atomic multi-group restore.
- `SaveProjectModal` and `ProjectByIdPage`/`ProjectPage` now go through
`buildSavePayload` / `buildLoadPayload` (handles pre-backfill projects
by synthesising a default board from `board_type`).
Auto-save (#useAutoSaveProject hook)
- 2.5s debounced silent PUT triggered ONLY when an authenticated user
has a `currentProject` with a UUID. State hash detects real changes
vs. UI-only churn; baseline is reset on project load so the just-loaded
state isn't immediately re-saved.
- `beforeunload` flush via `fetch keepalive: true` (supports PUT +
credentials, survives unload).
- Compact status indicator in `AppHeader` (idle/dirty/saving/saved/error).
Backfill script (one-off, idempotent)
- `backend/scripts/backfill_boards_2026_05.py` populates `boards_json`
for legacy projects. Heuristic per project, based on which board IDs
the wires reference:
Case A — wires only ref 'arduino-uno' but board_type ≠ uno:
rename id→board_type and rewrite wire endpoints.
Case B — single-board normal: keep verbatim.
Case C — multi-board: recreate one board per distinct ref, infer
kind by stripping trailing -N suffix.
Also moves any flat files into the active board's group subdir.
Stdlib-only, runs from host or `docker exec`.
Docker
- `Dockerfile.standalone` now copies `backend/scripts/` into the image
so the backfill is callable via `docker exec velxio-app python
/app/scripts/backfill_boards_2026_05.py --apply`.
Verified locally on the restored production backup (363 projects):
33 Case A, 316 Case B, 14 Case C, 135 wire endpoints renamed, 0 orphans.
Re-running the script after apply skips all 363 (idempotent).

refactor: Update wiring examples for E32 OLED integration; correct pin mappings for VCC, GND, DATA, and CLK
test: Improve unit tests for ESPIDFCompiler; add scenarios for library resolution and CMake patching
chore: Mark subproject commits as dirty for wokwi-libs
- Implement tests for BMP280, DS1307, DS3231, I2CWriteSink, and MPU6050 slaves in test_i2c_slaves.py.
- Create test suite for Velxio MCP server tools in test_mcp_tools.py, covering Wokwi utilities and circuit management functions.
- Add tests for parsing WiFi and BLE serial output in test_wifi_status_parser.py, ensuring correct status events are captured.
This commit introduces a detailed markdown document outlining the process of simulating DHT22 and HC-SR04 sensors on the ESP32 platform using Velxio's QEMU fork. The documentation covers the context of the simulation, key callbacks, problems encountered, and solutions implemented for both sensors. It includes architectural details, end-to-end testing procedures, and guidelines for adding new GPIO-timed sensors. The aim is to provide maintainers with a thorough understanding of the GPIO logic and the challenges faced during development.
- Updated the threshold for switching to data mode in MPU6050Slave from 2 to 3 WHO_AM_I reads to ensure correct chip identification.
- Enhanced comments in the code to clarify the sequence of I2C events during initialization.
- Added a new test file `test_mpu6050_emulation.py` to validate the MPU6050Slave state machine and ensure it handles the full Adafruit_MPU6050::begin() event sequence correctly.
- Updated existing tests to reflect the changes in the I2C handling logic.
- Modified `components-metadata.json` to update the generated timestamp.
- Marked submodules `rp2040js` and `wokwi-elements` as dirty to reflect local changes.
- Introduced I2C_SENSOR_MAP for pre-registering I2C sensors in the simulator store.
- Implemented I2C slave state machines for MPU6050, BMP280, DS1307, and DS3231 sensors in esp32_i2c_slaves.py.
- Added unit tests for I2C slave functionality covering BMP280, DS1307, DS3231, and I2CWriteSink.
- Updated the simulator store to handle I2C address resolution and sensor data management.
- Marked submodules as dirty in wokwi-libs for rp2040js and wokwi-elements.
- Implemented _MPU6050Slave and _BMP280Slave classes for I2C communication.
- Enhanced main function to register these sensors and handle I2C events.
- Updated sensor management to support MPU-6050, BMP280, DS1307, DS3231, SSD1306, and PCF8574.
- Added frontend examples for BMP280 weather station and SSD1306 OLED display.
- Modified Esp32Bridge to handle new I2C transaction events.
- Updated ProtocolParts to support ESP32 path for I2C devices.
- Enhanced useSimulatorStore to manage I2C transaction listeners.
Two fixes for ESP32 WiFi not connecting in production:
1. espidf_compiler.py: Change WiFi normalization from 'Velxio-GUEST' on
channel 6 to 'Espressif' on channel 5. The lcgamboa QEMU binary
downloaded from GitHub Releases only contains the original three APs:
PICSimLabWifi (ch1), Espressif (ch5), MasseyWifi (ch10). Channel 6
had no matching AP, so the beacon timer's channel-match condition never
fired → firmware scanned forever and never connected.
2. esp32_worker.py: Redirect fd 1 to /dev/null before loading QEMU so
raw UART bytes from QEMU's -nographic mux don't corrupt the JSON
event pipe. The real pipe fd is saved and sys.stdout is rebound so
_emit() continues to work. This also prevents stdout pipe back-pressure
from stalling qemu_main_loop() (and thus REALTIME timers).

Frontend WiFi detection via file-content scanning was unreliable because
fileGroups[board.activeFileGroupId] could be an empty array (not null),
bypassing the ?? fallback to editorState.files.
Fix: the ESP-IDF compiler now returns has_wifi:bool in its compile response.
The frontend stores this on the BoardInstance and uses it in startBoard()
instead of scanning file contents. The file-content scan is kept as a
fallback for boards that haven't been compiled in this session.

_build_env() on Linux only set IDF_TOOLS_PATH but never added the tool
binary directories to PATH, so cmake could not find riscv32-esp-elf-g++
when compiling for ESP32-C3. Also improve ninja failure logging to show
stdout (where build errors actually appear) instead of empty stderr.
