swaits bcfe736b30 fix(radio): preserve RX session across transient failures
Extends the v1.1.0 "SET_CONFIG during RX auto-re-arms" invariant to
every failure path that can fire while a client has RX active:

* `Receiving.on(RxFailed)` now transitions to `ResumingRx` instead of
  `Idle`. A transient `next_packet` error re-arms the chip rather than
  ending the session.
* `TransmittingFromRx.on(TransmitFailed)` now transitions to
  `ResumingRx` instead of `Idle`. TX failure during RX still responds
  `TX_FAILED` to the caller, then returns to RX — matching the shape
  of the adjacent `ChannelBusy` handler, which already did this.
* `ResumingRx.on(StartRxFailed)` is now a bounded retry (5 attempts,
  25 ms backoff) rather than an immediate drop to `Idle`. Only after
  the retry budget is exhausted does the chip actually land in `Idle`,
  at which point it's genuinely wedged and needs reconfiguring.

Observable effect: the OLED dashboard no longer bounces to Splash
when a client (e.g. ai-bot) TXes while bridges are receiving.
Previously any single hiccup in the RX/TX/ResumeRX cycle would
announce `RadioEvent::Idle`, bouncing the OLED, and the radio would
sit in Idle with no client aware enough to re-issue RX_START —
stranding the session. The invariant should have held for the whole
RX window between `CMD_RX_START` and `CMD_RX_STOP`; now it does.

Implementation notes:

* Two new internal `RadioInput` variants: `ResumeRxRetry` drives the
  `ResumingRx` self-transition; `ResumeRxExhausted` breaks out to
  Idle after too many failed tries.
* New `resume_retries: u8` field on `RadioContext`, reset to 0 on
  every successful `StartRxOk`, bumped by `bump_resume_retries`.
* Constants `MAX_RESUME_RETRIES = 5` and `RESUME_RX_RETRY_BACKOFF_MS
  = 25` at the top of `radio.rs`.
* Removed the dead `announce_rx_failed` helper — its only caller was
  the now-deleted `Receiving.on(RxFailed) => Idle` edge.

No behavior change for the three paths where `Idle` remains the
correct landing state: initial `CmdRxStart` failure in `StartingRx`,
`CmdRxStop` in `Receiving`, and all three `TransmittingFromIdle`
outcomes (where RX wasn't running to begin with).

DongLoRa Firmware

Embedded Rust firmware for DongLoRa boards. Exposes the LoRa radio over USB CDC-ACM using a COBS-framed binary protocol.

Building

just setup              # one-time toolchain install
just build heltec_v4    # build for a specific board
just flash heltec_v4    # build + flash
just check-all          # compile-check all boards
just clippy heltec_v4   # lint
just test               # host-side protocol unit tests

All commands are run from the firmware/ directory.

Heltec V3 USB Note

The default heltec_v3 build uses native USB CDC-ACM, which requires a hardware modification to your board. Stock Heltec V3 boards route USB through a CP2102 bridge chip to UART — the ESP32-S3's native USB pins (GPIO19/GPIO20) are routed to header pins but not connected to the USB connector.

To enable native USB on a Heltec V3:

  1. Solder 0-ohm (or 22-ohm) resistors at pads R29 (D+) and R3 (D-)
  2. Disconnect the CP2102 from the USB connector's D+/D- lines (cut traces or remove the CP2102 bridge resistors)

After this mod, the board appears as /dev/ttyACM0 with the DongLoRa VID:PID (1209:5741), just like the V4 and nRF boards.

If you have a stock (unmodified) V3, use heltec_v3_uart instead:

just build heltec_v3_uart
just flash heltec_v3_uart

This builds firmware that communicates via the CP2102 bridge (appears as /dev/ttyUSB0).
