v2026.03.11

Highlights

• Add a full ConfigFlow + OptionsFlow path for UI-based setup and management (#67).
• Introduce a DataUpdateCoordinator-based architecture and YAML -> UI migration path with legacy fallback (#67).
• Support init_command in the user flow for stoves that require it (#67).
• Stabilize climate entity IDs and add entity-registry migration to avoid duplicate climate entities after migration, reconfiguration, or recreation (#67).
• Ship runtime translations for ConfigFlow and OptionsFlow in English and French (#67).

Setup and developer experience

• Add a devcontainer and local-running workflow for easier testing and contribution (#72).
• Make setup scripts more portable and align virtualenv handling across host and container workflows (#73).
• Repair stale or broken setup symlinks so rerunning setup is safer on existing local environments (#67 beta follow-up).
• Remove shell xtrace noise from helper scripts to keep local runs easier to read (#82).

CI and packaging

• Set explicit read-only workflow permissions for the validation workflow (#80).
• Fix HACS manifest validation so the repository passes the current validation pipeline again (#81).

Notes

• If you were testing the PR1 beta builds, migrated installs should now keep a single climate entity.
• UI setup now exposes init_command when needed, while YAML import/migration remains supported.
