The controller and the WiFi driver each need a large aggregate allocation,
which a live app sitting on garbage can deny - that is why a failed connect
often succeeded on retry. Both bindings now collect before initializing, and
the tree reserves its node and spec capacity so a build does not reallocate
into a tight heap.
Two columns portrait and three landscape read better than 3/4 on a 320x480
panel. The new disabled palette role sits between face and muted, for a
control that is present but inactive.
ui.lua and hints.lua are compiled to LUA_32BITS bytecode (matching the
firmware's Lua build) and linked into the binary. A new package.searchers
entry checks them as the fallback after the SD card, so a local
/.lua/lib/ui.lua still shadows the packaged one for debugging.
Bytecode is ~40% smaller than source and loads without parsing. A fresh
SD card with no make sdcard now has the platform available.
