Keys: one table file for the device's help panel and the website's key tables (#72)
Every screen's keys are constant tables in lib/core/src/app_keys.h (52 of them, each under an `// id: Title` comment). An App's help() picks the table of the state it is in. site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py reads the same file and writes site/data/keys.toml; the `keys` shortcode shows a screen's tables on its guide page, and /guide/keys/ shows all of them. The Site job fails when the data file is out of date or a page asks for a table that doesn't exist, and now also runs when app_keys.h changes. A key added to an App shows up on the website without anyone editing a page.

### One source for the device and the website (issue #72)
|
||||
|
||||
The lists first lived in each App's `help()`, as code. They are now **data, in one file**: `lib/core/src/app_keys.h`, 52 constant tables, each under a comment `// id: Title`. An App's `help()` picks the table of the state it is in. `site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py` reads the same file and writes `site/data/keys.toml`; the `keys` shortcode shows a screen's tables on its guide page, and `/guide/keys/` shows all of them. The Site job fails when the data file is out of date, or when a page asks for a table that doesn't exist, and it now runs when `app_keys.h` changes. A key added to an App shows up on the website without anyone editing a page.
|
||||
|
||||
Three rows lost their second wording on the way, since a table is constant: GNSS's `Tab` and `r`, and the Scanner's `c`, now say both things they do ("record a Track, or stop it") instead of the one that applies. The guide pages keep their written tables too, where they say more than a key list can; those can still drift, and the generated ones under them are the reference.
|
||||
|
||||
**Not checked:** the real Fn+h and `?` on the keyboard (the mapper is host-tested; the device was driven with `key help`); the Setup screens, which only a device that was never set up shows, so their new text has not been seen on a screen; and the states that need something to happen first (a dialog, a copy in progress, a Gemini prompt, a packet's details): their lists were read against the key handling, not looked at.

Put a microSD card in the Cardputer. Without one the radio, GNSS, Wi-Fi and IRC still work, but nothing can be saved: no notes, IRC logs, Wi-Fi scan logs, GPX tracks, LoRa captures or saved Gemini pages. The [Storage App](/guide/storage/) shows what is on the card.

The firmware keeps its own folders at the top of the card (`captures`, `gemini`, `gnss`, `irc`, `updates`, `wifi`, plus `notes`). You can use the card in a computer too, but those names are the firmware's.

|

With a card, every page streams to the card first, so a page larger than the device's memory still arrives whole and is read from the card as you scroll. Without a card, a page is limited to what fits in memory. If there is not enough free memory to open a secure connection, the fetch says so instead of failing silently; stopping IRC frees the most.
