AlertTicker Card v1.2.7

🔴 Persistent Alerts + 📱 Mobile Hold Fix

✨ Highlights

🔴 Persistent Alerts — stay visible until manually dismissed

A new persistent: true per-alert flag changes how the alert lifecycle works: once the trigger condition becomes true, the alert latches on and stays visible even after the sensor returns to idle. The only way to clear it is to explicitly dismiss it.

When persistent is enabled:

• The 💤 snooze button is replaced by a ✕ Dismiss button (smaller, red-tinted, always visible)
• Swiping left also dismisses the alert
• The latch survives page reloads (stored in localStorage)
• Works in all card layouts: standard, large_buttons, vertical, and vertical + large_buttons

alerts:
  - entity: binary_sensor.smoke_detector
    state: "on"
    persistent: true
    message: "Smoke detected!"
    theme: fire

Ideal for alarms, critical safety sensors, and any alert you want to ensure is acknowledged — not just silenced by a snooze.

🐛 Fixed

• Hold action not firing on mobile (#95) — on touch devices, the browser fires a pointercancel event as soon as it takes over the touch gesture for scrolling, silently cancelling the hold timer before it expires. Fixed by calling e.preventDefault() in _onPointerDown when a hold action is configured for the alert. Standard tap, double-tap and swipe remain unaffected.
