Merge main into archy-hwconfig — reconcile probe/dedup/name work

Both sides independently fixed the serial-alias dedup and the ESP32
boot-reset races; kept the branch's defer-to-auto-detect for unpinned
preferred paths (single probe pass per cycle) on top of main's
advert-name threading, Reticulum name propagation and radio-first
routing. Modal keeps main's 'Set Recommended' naming + probe progress
bar alongside the branch's in-app firmware flasher step.
