Copies, first-layer temp, brim types, and forms that survive updates

New dial-in controls on the kit form, plus reliability fixes so a print never stalls on a flaky bed photo and the form keeps working across Hermes updates.

Highlights

  • Print multiple copies, dialed exactly. The copies question is now a +/- stepper you dial from 1 to 50, instead of a list that stopped at 9. The +5 and -5 buttons jump in fives.
  • First-layer nozzle temperature. Set a hotter or cooler first layer for bed adhesion without changing the rest of the print. Same per-material safe range as the main nozzle.
  • Full brim options. Pick off, outer, auto, or mouse ears, matching exactly what the U1's slicer supports.
  • The form keeps working after a Hermes update. Updating Hermes used to be able to silently break the kit form with a confusing "callback not registered" error. The form now re-wires itself on every message, so an update no longer takes it down.

Also

  • A truncated or dropped bed photo no longer aborts a print start. The camera retries a bad frame and only accepts a complete image; if it truly cannot get one, it still refuses to start rather than proceed blind.
  • Re-slicing a kit can no longer leave an old confirm prompt hanging that would reject your next "yes".
  • Internal cleanup: removed unused code.

The print-start safety flow is unchanged: you still get a fresh bed photo, a yes/no bed-clear prompt, and a cancel window before anything prints.
