Server: Frame.panel_type (new column + migration) is auto-derived from
the device's reported board (X-Frame-Board), never user-set -- the
panel is a property of the hardware, not a picker in the UI.
image_pipeline's packing/render pipeline is parameterized by panel
geometry instead of hardcoded 800x480 globals, with the real confirmed
13.3in geometry (1600x1200) registered alongside the original 7.3in
panel. Existing 7.3in frames are unaffected (column default + board
mapping both resolve to the original panel).

Board identifiers are also renamed (devkit/xiao -> devkit_esp32c6/
xiao_esp32c6, plus new "ee02") since the EE02 board also carries a XIAO
module -- "xiao" alone stopped disambiguating hardware. The server
keeps accepting the legacy bare names indefinitely for already-flashed
devices.

Firmware: scaffolds a third build target (ee02, ESP32-S3 -- a real
chip-target change, not just a same-chip Kconfig variant like xiao) and
a new epd13in3e driver component skeleton. The actual panel init/LUT/
refresh register sequence isn't ported from vendor demo code yet (none
was available), so that component deliberately fails to compile
(#error) rather than risk sending unverified register values to real
hardware -- devkit/xiao are unaffected and build identically to before.
CI's ee02 build step is continue-on-error for the same reason.

tfaour 2868087467 Add a per-widget text-size picker for calendar/tasks legibility

Calendar and tasks pack the most body text at the smallest default
sizes, so those two gear-icon dialogs get a "Text size" card (Normal/
Large/X-Large) alongside the existing Border card -- a new Widget-level
font_scale column with its own POST .../font-scale endpoint, same
Widget-property-not-config-field shape as border_style. Threaded through
every classic (calendar_render.py) and modern (html_render.py/
calendar_html_render.py) size calc via one shared panel_style.
scaled_size() so row heights/max_rows already derived from font size
re-fit around the bigger text automatically.

tfaour 455020cb1f Redo modern-style widgets in a "bold minimal" language, not just a reskin

The first modern-style rollout translated each widget's existing classic
layout into HTML/CSS -- same gradient headers, same rounded-shadowed
card, prettier chrome around an unchanged composition. This actually
redesigns weather (current/daily), calendar (all four views), tasks, and
battery: no card/shadow anywhere, a slim accent-colored rule instead of
a full gradient banner (and only that rule dithers at the richer accent
amplitude now, not the header text sitting on it), and a dominant hero
value (temperature/percent) instead of a centered icon+number of equal
weight. Padding and type sizes scale as a clamped proportion of widget
size instead of fixed pixel values. Text and static/whiteboard are left
alone -- text already had zero chrome and its styling is user content,
not this system's to redesign; framed_image's card was already minimal.

Direction was picked from three divergent mockups reviewed with the
maintainer, then verified against the real render pipeline (actual
Chromium render, actual ordered dithering, actual theme system) rather
than just eyeballed -- that caught a day-section/month-grid divider
color (#e2e6ec) that's nowhere near this panel's 6-color palette and was
dithering to invisible white; fixed with a real black hairline in the
one place (month view) that still needed one.

tfaour 5f4f8f2ea7 Add a curated theme system for "modern" style widgets, inspired by Tesserae

Frame.theme (7 presets in app/theme_tokens.py) drives font family,
corner radius, drop shadow, and an accent hue for every modern-style
widget's header/accent region. Rich accent colors (not just the 6 flat
panel inks) are approximated via denser Bayer stippling confined to just
that region (html_render.ordered_dither_regions), so icon/text content
elsewhere stays exactly as crisp as it is today -- verified directly
against real Chromium renders, both in unit tests and via run-server.
"classic" is a byte-identical no-visual-change default: weather's header
keeps its original fixed blue gradient, tasks/calendar keep their flat
THEME_* ink.

Themes are purely stylistic -- battery's charge-level color, calendar/
tasks' per-owner event chips, and text's own per-widget font choice are
never touched.

tfaour e331f5e5a1 Roll out "modern" HTML/CSS render style to every widget except photos

Extends weather's experimental Chromium+Jinja2 render style to battery,
text, tasks, static image, whiteboard, and calendar (all four view
modes -- agenda/today_tomorrow/week/month), and gives the photos widget
its own genuinely independent palette + dithering strength.

Photos: Frame.photo_palette_rgb/photo_dither_strength (mirroring the
existing palette_rgb/dither_strength), with a second "Photos
configuration" card in Advanced Configuration. widgets/photos.py's
render() quantizes itself against these before returning -- no
render_panel changes needed, since photos is the only widget that
genuinely needs a different reference palette and can carry that
itself, the same way modern-style widgets already self-dither via
ordered_dither.

Battery/text/tasks/static image/whiteboard: same render_style pattern
weather established (render_style column, html_render.py build
function, Jinja2 template, dialog toggle). Static image/whiteboard get
their first-ever visual chrome (a rounded-corner shadowed card,
shared framed_image.html.jinja) since classic draws them with zero
frame at all. Fixed the same "preview endpoint bypasses render_style"
bug weather originally shipped with, for tasks/static/whiteboard/
calendar's preview endpoints.

Calendar: own module (app/calendar_html_render.py, mirroring
calendar_render.py's separation from the simpler widgets) covering all
four view modes, not just agenda -- reuses calendar_render's own
private helpers so event colors/times/weather/month-grid math match
classic exactly. Found and fixed two real cross-day layout bugs along
the way: a per-day header height that varied based on whether that
specific day had a weather entry (misaligning where every other day's
event rows started across the week/month grid), and regular-weight
small text being fragile under Bayer ordered dithering (out-of-month
day numbers degraded into unrecognizable speckle) -- fixed by using
bold everywhere and de-emphasizing via size instead of weight/gray,
since gray text has the same dithering fragility this project's PIL
renderers already avoid for exactly this reason.

Migrations 32-38 (Frame's two new columns, then one render_style column
per widget config table). 452 tests passing, including new dispatch/
migration coverage per widget type and a dedicated photos test proving
photo_palette_rgb produces genuinely independent quantization from the
frame's main palette_rgb.

tfaour 8ea1c53ec3 Add experimental HTML/CSS "modern" render style for weather widget
Build and push server image / test (push) Successful in 39s

Build and push server image / deploy (push) Has been skipped
The weather widget's icons/layout are hand-drawn PIL primitives -- clean
under quantization but flat, no gradients/shadows. Adds an opt-in
render_style="modern" (current/daily modes only) that instead renders a
Jinja2 template through a persistent headless-Chromium browser
(app/html_render.py), following the approach of Tesserae, an open-source
e-ink dashboard targeting this same panel family.

Key design points:
- The Chromium dependency (Playwright) is lazily imported only when a
  weather widget actually uses "modern" style, and the background browser
  itself only launches on first use -- every other widget type, and this
  one's own classic/hourly/multi_city paths, never pay for it.
- No Frame-level dithering setting needed: html_render dithers its own
  rendered widget to exact palette colors (Bayer/ordered, not
  Floyd-Steinberg) before compositing, so the shared whole-canvas
  Floyd-Steinberg pass sees zero quantization error there and leaves it
  untouched -- same trick draw_text/hand-drawn icons already use. Floyd-
  Steinberg keeps working unchanged for photos and every other widget.
- A "Load calibrated Spectra 6 preset" button in Advanced configuration
  offers a community-measured palette (data ported from
  paperlesspaper/epdoptimize, Apache 2.0) as an alternative starting
  point to the existing idealized DEFAULT_PALETTE_RGB -- fills the
  existing palette table, doesn't save by itself.

Known open risk, not resolved here: a headless Chromium binary is far
larger than the ~100MB single-layer limit that already forced this
project's pip/npm installs into split layers, and (unlike those) is a
single ~180MB file that can't be split across layers by ordinary
Dockerfile restructuring. Flagged prominently in server/Dockerfile and
docs/widgets.md -- treat this render style as experimental/local-only
until that's resolved.
