Walkthrough

CAST-1 ESPHome versioning and firmware channel initialization were updated. The beta build workflow now uses the primary W and ETH configuration files instead of beta-channel overrides, which were removed.

Changes

CAST-1 beta configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
ESPHome version and channel defaults Integrations/ESPHome/Core.yaml	Updates the version from 26.7.22.1 to 26.7.27.1 and sets the firmware channel selector’s initial option to Stable.
Beta build configuration inputs .github/workflows/build-beta.yml	Points CAST-1 W and ETH beta matrix entries to the primary ESPHome configuration files while preserving output names.

Poem

I’m a bunny with builds in a row,
Stable channels now gently glow.
W and ETH paths align,
A newer version hops online.
Beta firmware, ready to go!

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Beta builds lose their Beta OTA default.

The shared configuration defaults firmware_channel to Stable, while the beta workflow now builds that shared configuration and publishes beta-fw assets. Fresh beta images will consequently target stable manifests unless a beta-specific override is provided.

• Integrations/ESPHome/Core.yaml#L257-L257: retain the stable default for production, but make the channel build-specific.
• .github/workflows/build-beta.yml#L40-L41: pass or select a Beta-specific configuration/override for these artifacts.
