Maintainer notes

Run tools\copyFirmware.ps1 after idf.py build to copy binaries into webflasher\firmware\.
The copy script regenerates manifest.json from ESP-IDF build metadata when build\flasher_args.json is available.
Publish the webflasher folder with GitHub Pages or serve it locally for testing.
