twislaandClaude Opus 5.5 1874a1b586 Debug Console: the listener is checked and retried, and debug off <seconds> comes back by itself
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 7m10s
Site / build (pull_request) Successful in 14s
The framework's server begin() fails without a word: the console's task now
asks whether it listens, says so, and tries again. `debug off <seconds>`
closes the console and reopens it after the pause, which is the only way to
test its closing and reopening from afar.

Checked on the device: 25 closings and reopenings, each back a second after
the pause. Free heap dips about 270 bytes for each connection the device
closes and is all back two minutes later (TCP keeps a closed connection that
long): not a leak.

twislaandClaude Opus 5.5 c68741cc46 One firmware: the Debug Console in every build, off until switched on, with the device's own token
CI / build (pull_request) Successful in 7m20s
Site / build (pull_request) Successful in 9s
There is no Debug Build any more (ADR 0010, issue #68, Q188 to Q195). The
console and the test commands are compiled into every firmware. It listens
only while Settings > Debug Console is on, which isn't the default; off,
neither its task nor its 4 KB ring exists. The token is made by the device
and shown on that page; a client proves it knows it by answering a challenge
with an HMAC, so it never crosses the network, and five wrong answers close
the console for a minute. DBG in the Status Bar while it listens.

Over USB serial only: debug on, debug token <value>, debug token new.
scripts/flash.sh --debug uses them to set a device up with the developer's
token. scripts/rdbg.py takes the token from -t, $RORO_DEBUG_TOKEN or the
file, answers the challenge, and fetches a release's ELF to decode a crash.

Gone: the cardputer-adv-debug environment, RORO_DEBUG, the +debug version,
scripts/debug_flags.py, update install ... force, and the rule that a Debug
Build doesn't install releases. Old clients and old firmwares don't talk to
each other.

Against the builds it replaces: 30 KB more flash and 88 bytes more static
RAM than the release, 4 KB less RAM than the Debug Build. 468 host tests.
Checked on the device: off by default, login, the pause after wrong tokens,
Safe Mode with the console, the setting surviving an update, debug off.
