tfaour 3868d357ff Add back-photo button; consolidate reset/manage onto one hold-duration button
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 32s
Back button (new GPIO0, POST /frame/back): the server now tracks a
bounded history of previously-current photos (photo_queue.py), pushed
to on every advance (auto or forced) and popped by back_forced() --
symmetric with advance, so pressing next afterwards returns to right
where you were. frame_client.c's force_advance bool becomes a 3-way
fetch_action_t (NORMAL/ADVANCE/BACK) threaded through the whole fetch
path.

Also folds the separate reset and manage buttons onto one pin
(combo_button.c, replacing reset_button.c/manage_button.c entirely),
disambiguated by hold duration: quick press shows the management menu
(unchanged), ~3s hold-then-release soft-resets (esp_restart(), config
kept -- new), ~15s hold factory-resets (today's old reset behavior,
extended from 10s for clearer tier separation). Driven by a production
board (Seeed XIAO ESP32-C6) exposing only 3 of the ESP32-C6's 8
deep-sleep-wakeup-capable GPIOs -- next/back keep their own dedicated
pins where instant response matters most, everything else shares the
third pin via timing instead of needing its own. Same three-pin layout
now works on both the dev board and the production board.

Fixed a fast-tap bug in combo_button_check() before shipping: it only
did a live gpio_get_level() read to decide whether the button was
pressed at all, so a press fast enough to already be released by the
time boot reached that check was missed entirely (treated as "never
pressed" rather than "quick press"). Added the same latched
esp_sleep_get_gpio_wakeup_status() check the other buttons already use
for exactly this reason.

tfaour f74085cedf Add third button: "scan to manage" QR overlay on the current photo
Pressing the manage button (GPIO1) overlays a small QR code -- "SCAN TO
MANAGE" -- in the top-right corner of whatever photo is currently on
screen, linking to the server's config page, then reverts to the plain
photo after 30 seconds.

The overlay is spliced into the existing streaming fetch as chunks pass
through (frame_client.c's http_read_fn), rather than buffering the full
192,000-byte frame in RAM: only the small overlay rectangle itself
(~30KB) is ever held in memory, generated via new stride-parameterized
drawing helpers (epd_draw_*_ex in epd_draw.c) that let the existing
QR/text drawing code target an arbitrarily-sized buffer instead of a
full-frame one. epd7in3e.c is untouched -- it has no idea an overlay
exists.

tfaour d395cf3bb9 Add two physical buttons: factory-reset and next-photo
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 35s
Factory-reset (GPIO3, hold 10s): clears stored WiFi/server config and
restarts into provisioning -- the deliberate, USB-free replacement for
the earlier reverted RST-based auto-reprovisioning idea.

Next-photo (GPIO2, tap): wakes the device and forces the server to
advance immediately via a new POST /frame/advance, instead of waiting
for the refresh interval. Both buttons arm themselves as deep-sleep GPIO
wakeup sources so a press is noticed promptly even while asleep.

Also makes GET /frame/image side-effect-free: it now only advances once
refresh_interval_s has elapsed since the current photo was set (tracked
server-side), so a device reboot for any reason just redisplays the
current photo instead of silently skipping ahead. The server maintains a
small reorderable upcoming-photos queue, viewable and rearrangeable from
the web UI.

tfaour 7013311249 Add READMEs, docs, and LICENSE for publishing
Build and push server image / build-and-push (push) Successful in 32s
- LICENSE: MIT, with attribution notes for the vendored qrcode/epaper_fonts/
  dns_server code and the epd7in3e driver's transcription of Waveshare's
  register sequence.
- Top-level README.md: project overview, hardware list, quick-start
  pointing at firmware/ and server/, repo layout, license, Claude Code
  attribution.
- firmware/README.md: full rewrite (was still the stock ESP-IDF captive
  portal example's README) -- build/flash instructions, Kconfig reference
  table, first-boot walkthrough, and how to reset to provisioning mode via
  NVS erase (the only way in right now; a proper reconfigure trigger is a
  future addition).
- docs/hardware.md: wiring table + parts list + strapping-pin/SPI-speed notes.
- docs/architecture.md: sequence diagram and walkthrough of the full
  provision -> connect -> fetch -> display -> sleep cycle, plus the
  reasoning behind doing image processing server-side and reusing Immich's
  face detection instead of bundling a detector.
- server/README.md: fixed stale endpoint docs (missing GET /frame/config,
  POST /api/config still describing removed immich_url/api_key fields).
