Tab used to complete a command's first word only. It now follows the help
text word by word: `lora st` gives `lora status`, `gnss track ` lists
`start stop`. The words are read from the help text as written, so a new
command completes with no table to keep; the Shell's own words are added in
the same notation.
`*` and `?` in the last part of a path, for ls, du, rm, cp and mv, from the
Shell and both consoles. The command runs once for each name matched, lined
up and run by the main loop as each finishes; `cancel` empties the line-up.
64 matches at most, refused whole past that. In the Shell, rm with a pattern
asks once, with the count.

Past the command's name, Tab completes the word being typed as a path: a
folder keeps its slash to go on from, a file completed whole gets a space,
several candidates are listed. Any case typed, the name's own is taken.
After a file command the first slash is understood (`cat no` is /no).
The folder is read on the storage task, bounded to 400 entries looked at
and 24 candidates.
489 host tests (2 new). Checked on the device: a folder, a file inside it,
several candidates, no slash, another case, nothing matching.

The Shell shows the replies to its own commands and nothing else. The
console knows who each line is printed for (Console::As, Console::origin):
a command run from the Shell prints as the Shell's, and what answers it
later from another task carries that along (ls, tasks, du, cp, update
check, sd list, screenshot, gemini get). Ctrl+b shows everything instead.
This replaces the ten-second window, which was a guess.
An App's name with a capital opens it (Notes, Irc, Wifi, Gnss, Gemini, Lora,
Storage, Shell, System, Settings), from the Shell and from the consoles.
rm needs -r for a folder, here and over the consoles. In the Shell a file,
or a folder with something in it, is asked about unless -f; an empty folder
with -r goes without a word.
The Shell now hands its line to the main loop to run: run from inside the
key handler, rm on a folder overflowed the loop's stack and crashed the
device. `info` says which App is in front.

An App in the Launcher that runs the same commands as USB serial and the
Debug Console, trusted like the first. It shows what the console prints
while it is open, through a second ring of the console's that exists only
meanwhile; Ctrl+b keeps only what follows your own commands. Tab completes
a command's name from the firmware's help text, Fn with up and down recalls
earlier lines, Alt with up and down scrolls back. `rm` asks first in the
Shell, `rm -f` doesn't. Nothing is kept once the App is left.
`screenshot [seconds]` saves the screen as a PNG in /screenshots on the
card, now or after a pause: written a row at a time, indexed colour with
RGB332 as the palette, in one stored deflate block.
487 host tests (11 new: the PNG writer, the Shell's log filter, Tab).
Checked on the device over the Debug Console: commands, Tab, history, a
screenshot fetched and decoded on the PC, rm with and without the question,
a delayed screenshot of another screen. 12 KB of flash; 7 KB of heap while
open. Decisions Q204 to Q212 in docs/milestones/S1.md. Safe Mode: #77.

/dev/ has Debug Builds and the Debug Console (builds and the token, the
console and its protocol, files and screenshots, driving the UI, crashes and
Safe Mode, the command reference), Build, test and release (including how an
update works), the architecture decisions and the milestone plans.
Generated from the repository by site/tools/gen_dev_docs.py: the ADRs, the
milestones, the README's sections, and the command reference, read from the
firmware's own `help` text. The pages are committed (Zola cannot read outside
its folder); the Site workflow checks they are current, and now also runs
when src/main.cpp changes. M0, M1 and CONTEXT.md are not published.
README: the gnss commands that the table lacked.
