Let a tasks widget have a custom on-panel name
Adds TaskWidgetConfig.name (migration 19, plain column add) shown at
the top of the widget on the actual panel instead of the hardcoded
"Tasks" header -- e.g. "Chores" or "Mom's list". The only widget type
with its own on-panel title at all, since it's the only one where
"which list is this" isn't already obvious from a calendar/photo/
whiteboard's own content.

Threaded through calendar_render's _draw_tasks/_build_tasks/
render_tasks/render_tasks_preview_png as a `title` param (default
"Tasks", truncated to fit -- a long custom name shouldn't be able to
overflow the widget's box), the config-save endpoint (tasks_name,
truncated server-side to a sane header length rather than rejected),
and a new "Settings" section in the tasks dialog.

Verified live in the browser: the name actually renders at the top of
the real composited panel (not just the dialog preview, which stays
gated on having a configured source), and persists correctly on both
desktop and mobile. Full suite (196 tests) passes.

ESPresso Frame

A DIY e-ink photo frame: an ESP32-C6 pulls photos from your Immich library and displays them on a 7.3" full-color e-paper panel, waking on a timer to refresh and spending the rest of its time in deep sleep.

  • No cables to a computer, no SD card shuffling. Provisioning is a captive portal with a QR code drawn on the panel itself -- scan, join, fill in your WiFi and server address, done.
  • The frame never decodes an image. A small self-hosted server does all the work (pulling from Immich, cropping, dithering, packing into the panel's exact pixel format) and hands the device a stream it can write straight to SPI. The ESP32-C6 has no PSRAM and not much SRAM to spare -- keeping it a dumb display client is what makes that workable.
  • Crops toward faces, not just the center, using face bounding boxes Immich already computed for its own People feature -- no bundled face detector.
  • Refresh interval and album are configurable from a web UI, no reflashing needed to change them.

Hardware

See docs/hardware.md for wiring, docs/architecture.md for how the two halves talk to each other, and docs/widgets.md for the server's placeable photos/calendar/whiteboard widget system.

Getting started

  1. server/ -- run the FastAPI server first (Docker Compose, points at your Immich instance). See server/README.md.
  2. firmware/ -- build and flash the ESP32-C6, then scan the QR codes it draws on first boot to provision it. See firmware/README.md.
