v1.0.5-beta.5

[1.0.5-beta.5]

Added

• Pi 2 / Ethernet-only support — is_wifi_hardware_present() check
  prevents the controller from attempting AP activation on devices without
  WiFi hardware; the controller stays in CLIENT_CONNECTED or
  CLIENT_DISCONNECTED based on Ethernet state and never retries AP
• Stale AP cleanup on boot — the controller now kills any leftover
  hostapd instance on initialisation, preventing the captive portal from
  blocking the web dashboard after an unclean shutdown

Changed

• AP startup delay eliminated — removed the daemon's forced
  ap_timeout_seconds wait on boot; the controller now owns all timing
  (immediate AP when no saved networks, 5‑minute grace period when saved
  WiFi exists)
• Boot screen message timing — 10 s delay after slideshow start ensures
  the boot screen fade-out completes before welcome or PIN messages appear
• Setup script prompts before install — channel and WiFi country
  questions are now asked before git is installed; answers flow through
  to Phase 1 via environment variables so the user is never re‑prompted
• Beta channel pins to pre-release tags — the setup script now checks
  out the latest v*-beta.* tag on main for beta channel installs
  instead of tracking the dev branch, matching the OTA updater's
  behaviour

Fixed

• Captive portal blocking dashboard after reboot — hostapd left running
  from a previous AP session is now stopped at controller init
