Ashin Walpola 64fb78590e Phase 03: ESP32-C5 serial link hardening + bench diagnostics
Enumeration:
- Merge the library's stock probe table instead of replacing it, so adding
  Espressif 0x303A/0x1001 doesn't drop every other supported device
- Select the ESP32-C5 by VID/PID rather than list position
- Log USB interface descriptors to distinguish CDC data from the JTAG interface
Lifecycle:
- Don't close the shared port in MqttViewModel.onCleared() - the foreground
  recording service outlives the ViewModel and would beacon into a dead port
- Handle ACTION_USB_DEVICE_DETACHED so the UI stops reporting a stale link
- Implement the STATUS heartbeat on both sides (1 Hz) plus a phone-side watchdog
- Surface write failures and firmware drop counters on the CAM Pinger card
Protocol:
- Assert DTR/RTS on open (unverified on hardware - see FLASHING.md step 5)
- Raise SERIAL_LINK_MAX_PAYLOAD 160 -> 512 on both sides; real third-party CAMs
  exceed 160 and were being silently dropped at the resync branch
- Move the enlarged buffers off task stacks; serialize send_frame with a mutex
Firmware and app must be updated together - a 512/160 mismatch fails silently.

// Binary framing for the phone <-> ESP32-C5 link (Phase 03). This runs over the ESP32-C5's
// native USB Serial/JTAG peripheral (driver/usb_serial_jtag.h) - the same physical USB-C port
// used for JTAG, exposed to the host as a fixed-VID/PID (0x303A/0x1001) USB CDC-ACM device.
// Deliberately NOT the same wire as the ESP-IDF console/ESP_LOG output, which stays on the
// OTHER USB-C port (the UART-bridge one, UART0, see sdkconfig CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_NUM=0) -
// mixing binary frames with human-readable log text on one wire would corrupt both, and this
// way they're physically separate ports so there's no risk of that regardless.
//
// On the Android side, connect the phone (via USB-OTG) to the board's NATIVE USB-C port, not
// the UART-bridge/flashing port. The usb-serial-for-android library's default prober doesn't
// know Espressif's 0x303A/0x1001 VID/PID, so UsbSerialTransport.kt registers it manually via a
// custom ProbeTable pointed at CdcAcmSerialDriver - see that file's KDoc.
//
// Frame format (both directions, symmetric):
// [0xAA][0x55][type:1][length:2 LE][payload: length bytes][crc16:2 LE]
// CRC16 is CRC-16/CCITT-FALSE (poly 0x1021, init 0xFFFF, no reflect, no xorout), computed over
// type + length + payload only (not the two sync bytes). Same algorithm must be used on the
// Kotlin side (see app SerialFrame.kt) - frames that don't checksum are silently dropped.
//
// Direction / types:
// SERIAL_MSG_CAM_TX (0x01), phone -> ESP32: payload is a raw CAM UPER byte string, already
// built by the phone (position/speed/heading/yaw rate baked in). On receipt the ESP32
// immediately GeoNetworking-wraps and transmits it - this IS the transmit clock now, there
// is no independent on-chip timer. See main.c's rx-driven tx path.
// SERIAL_MSG_CAM_RX (0x02), ESP32 -> phone: payload is [rssi:1 signed][CAM UPER bytes...] - a
// CAM received over the air, already stripped of its 802.11/LLC-SNAP/GeoNetworking/BTP-B
// framing by gn_unwrap.c. The phone never sees raw 802.11 frames. No station id is carried
// separately - CAM's own ItsPduHeader.stationID (the first field inside the UPER bytes) is
// already the meaningful identifier; see gn_unwrap.h for why a second one isn't added here.
// SERIAL_MSG_STATUS (0x03), ESP32 -> phone: heartbeat + counters, sent at 1 Hz so the phone can
// distinguish "link idle" from "link dead" independent of CAM traffic (the app's watchdog in
// UsbSerialTransport.kt declares the link dead after 3 missed beats). Payload is 7 bytes:
// [status:1][oversize_drops:2 LE][tx_failures:2 LE][rx_crc_errors:2 LE]
// status 0 = ok. The counters are free-running totals since boot, saturating at 0xFFFF.
// They exist because the alternative - ESP_LOGW on the flashing port - is invisible to the
// phone, which is the only thing watching during a bench session. Mirrored by EspLinkStatus
// in the app's SerialFrame.kt.

//
// Raised from 160 to 512: 160 was reasoned from cam.c's 96-byte encode buffer, which only ever
// described OUR OWN minimal CAM. A third-party CAM off the air carrying a path-history or
// special-vehicle container comfortably exceeds it, and those stations would then never reach the
// phone at all. 512 clears any realistic CAM; the real upstream ceiling on the RX path is
// rx_item_t.data (400 bytes) in main.c, so nothing larger can get here anyway.
