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.

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The Site job fails when the data file is out of date or a page asks for a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.

Fn+h on any screen, text fields included, and ? outside Text Entry, open a
panel over the content area: the screen's own keys, then the ones that work
everywhere. Every App declares its keys for the state it is in (pages,
viewers, dialogs and text fields answer for themselves); the App manager
opens the panel and takes every key while it is open.
About 30 hint lines are gone, from every App. What stays on a screen is
state. The first-start Setup keeps its hints and teaches the key; a device
set up before gets one Toast, once. The guide and the FAQ open with it.
`key help` over the consoles.
476 host tests (8 new). Checked on the device with key help and screenshots:
the Launcher, all nine Apps and several of their states. 8.5 KB of flash and
40 bytes of static RAM. Decisions Q196 to Q203 in docs/milestones/U1.md.

- lib/apps_model (host-tested): SettingsMenu (rows, readable values,
choices, validation messages) and SetupWizard (names, Region
confirmation, timezone; saves only when finished)
- AppManager: modal Apps that Home/Back can't leave (setup wizard)
- SettingsApp: all settings plus Storage (usage, erase SD behind a
dialog) and About (version, node id, battery, memory, uptime) pages,
replacing the temporary Diagnostics App
- SetupApp: first-boot wizard, opened modally until SetupDone
- Node id and default names derived from the MAC like Meshtastic
- Widget demo is now hidden (About, then w)
- lib_ldf_mode = deep+ so libraries see each other's headers

lib/core is hardware-independent and unit-tested on the host:
- EventBus: fixed-size thread-safe queue, delivered on the UI task by
dispatch(); drops newest when full and counts drops
- Service / ServiceManager: cooperative ticking at per-service intervals,
no catch-up bursts, safe across millis() wraparound
- App / AppManager: one foreground App, Home always to Launcher, Back
offered to the App first, hidden Apps, redraw requests
- KeyEvent: logical keys for the upcoming input layer
Firmware main loop now ticks services and dispatches events.
