Merge 3b9a37e075 into e5c0ddc9fa

## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?**
Add a debugging script to help developers monitor the ESP32 serial port
directly from a PC.

* **What changes are included?**
Added a new script: scripts/debugging_monitor.py

## Additional Context

While working on a new Crosspoint-Reader feature, it quickly became
clear that watching the ESP32 serial output without any visual cues was
inconvenient and easy to mess up.

This script improves the debugging experience by reading data from the
serial port and providing:

1. A timestamp prefix for every log line (instead of milliseconds since
power-up)
2. Color-coded output for different message types
3. A secondary window displaying a live graph of RAM usage, which is
especially useful for tracking the memory impact of new features

### AI Usage

Did you use AI tools to help write this code? _**< PARTIALLY >**_
I wrote the initial version of the script. Gemini was used to help add
the Matplotlib-based graphing and threading logic.

 ```
+### Debugging
+
+After flashing the new features, it’s recommended to capture detailed logs from the serial port.
+
+First, make sure all required Python packages are installed:
+
+```python
+python3 -m pip install serial colorama matplotlib
+```
+after that run the script:
+```sh
+python3 scripts/debugging_monitor.py
+```
+This was tested on Debian and should work on most Linux systems. Minor adjustments may be required for Windows or macOS.
