EchoScope 0.9.0

EchoScope gains Home Assistant controls and a connected observing workflow.

• MQTT discovery: page/aircraft selectors, aircraft list and status, brightness, screen sleep/wake and family pickup controls.
• Family pickup: pin the flight, keep the display awake, and alert when a fresh position is within your chosen distance of the arrival airport.
• Spotting log: persistent interesting-aircraft history, Today's highlights on the knob, and full paged web history.
• Stargazing: darkness windows, Moon illumination, cloud outlook and visible space-station passes, with optional wake alerts and live countdown.

Update both firmware and Docker. Hold the knob five seconds, enable authenticated LAN integration and copy the device API token. Configure the server's info-service/.env, then make docker. MQTT is optional for history/alerts. The service still listens on 0.0.0.0:8086.
