Merge branch 'master' into fix/sleep-cover-settings

## Rationale 

I have 2 wifi access points with almost identical names, just one has
`_EXT` at the end of it. With the current display limit of 13 characters
before adding ellipsis, I can't tell which is which.

## Summary

Adjusted displayed length from 13 characters to 30 in the Wifi selection
screen - I've left some space for potential proportional font changes in
the future

+### 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.
