## 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

I wrote the initial version of the script. Gemini was used to help add
the Matplotlib-based graphing and threading logic.
## Summary
* Truncating chapter titles using utf8 safe functions (Cyrillic titles
were split mid codepoint)
* refactoring of lib/Utf8

## Summary
* Fixing custom sleep behaviour where the first image in the /sleep
directory is not shown
* image at index 0 is not being rendered when more than 1 image is
stored in /sleep directory, because `APP_STATE.lastSleepImage` is always
0.
## Additional Context
* `APP_STATE.lastSleepImage` is reset to 0 when a epub is open, this
value is only used to compare it to the randomly selected one in
`renderCustomSleepScreen()` that should always be a valid index, since
the list of valid bmp images is colected from scratch. -> no need to
reset it and block image @ index 0 from being rendered

## Summary
* This change hides the button hints from overlapping chapter titles
when in landscape CW mode.
Before

After

## Additional Context
* I initially considered implementing an offset fix, but with potential
UI changes on the horizon, hiding the button hints appears to be the
simplest solution for now.

## Summary
* Clarify strings on Wifi connection error screens
* I have confirmed on device that these are short enough not to overflow
screen margins
## Additional Context
* Several screens give duplicative text (e.g., header "Connection
Failed" with contents text "Connection failed") or slightly confusing
text (header "Forget Network?" with text "Remove saved password?")

## Summary
* refactors Indexing popups into ScreenComponents (they had different
implementations in different files)
* removes Indexing popup for small chapters
* only show Indexing popup (without progress bar) for large chapters
(using same minimum file size condition as for progress bar before)
## Additional Context
* Having to show even single popup message and redraw the screen slows
down the flow significantly
* Testing results:
* Opening large chapter with progress bar - 11 seconds
* Same chapter without progress bar, only single Indexing popup - 5
seconds

## Summary
* Adds a menu in the Epub reader
* The Chapter selection is moved there to pos 1 (so it can be reached by
double tapping the confirm button)
* A Go Home is there, too
* Most significantly, a function "Delete Book Cache" is added. This
returns to main (to avoid directly rebuilding cached items, eg. if this
is used to debug/develop other areas - and it's also easier ;))
Probably, the Sync function could now be moved from the Chapter
selection to this menu, too.
