v2.6.3 - CC2 Authentication UI Improvements

🎨 UI Improvements

CC2 Authentication Flow (#331)

Improved visibility and clarity of the access code question during CC2 printer setup.

Changes:

• Radio buttons instead of dropdown 🔘

  • Changed from dropdown selector to radio button list
  • Forces explicit user choice (no pre-selected default)
  • More visually prominent - harder to miss!

• Enhanced instructions 📝

  • Added bold "IMPORTANT" header
  • Clear step-by-step guide to check printer settings
  • Explains what each option (Yes/No) means
  • Notes that most printers ship with no access code by default

• Consistent UI across all states ✨

  • Applied same radio button UI to error recovery screens
  • Ensures consistent experience even when retrying after authentication failures

Debugging Improvements:

Added comprehensive logging throughout the CC2 authentication flow:

• Logs when CC2 printer is selected from discovery
• Tracks when auth check form is shown
• Records user's choice (yes/no) without exposing actual passwords
• Shows connection attempt details
• Helps diagnose authentication issues in the future

Who This Helps:

• Users who missed the access code question in v2.6.2
• Anyone experiencing CC2 authentication confusion
• Developers debugging authentication flow issues

Migration Notes:

No action required - this is a pure UI improvement. If you experienced issues with v2.6.2:

1. Remove your CC2 printer from Home Assistant
2. Update to v2.6.3
3. Re-add your printer - you should now see clear radio buttons asking about access code
4. Select the appropriate option based on your printer's settings
