Patch release closing issue #14 follow-ups after user verification of v0.74.2.

Added

  • README troubleshooting section for Docker HA Container users. Three host-side prerequisites that are commonly missed and surface as misleading HU handshake timeout / Authentication failed errors:
    • Install bluez package on the host (the full daemon, not just bluez-obexd)
    • Mount /run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro into the container
    • Run with --privileged (or NET_ADMIN) + --net=host
    • Plus a BlueZ cache-reset recipe (bluetoothctl disconnect <MAC> / remove <MAC>)
  • HCL.md: Apple Broadcom BCM2046B1 / BCM20702A0 (USB ID 05ac:828d) graduated to ✅ verified — first 7xx-family + Docker datapoint we have full diagnostic data for (Ubuntu 24.04 / BlueZ 5.72 / HA Container, NICR 779).

Fixed

  • Misleading ble_agent log when system D-Bus is unreachable. Previously said "Assuming ESPHome BLE proxy" — incorrect and misleading for Docker users whose local adapter is present but unreachable due to missing /run/dbus mount. Now explicitly names both valid scenarios (ESPHome proxy = expected; Docker without D-Bus mount = broken setup) and points to README troubleshooting.

Test results

992 tests passing (unchanged from v0.79.0 — pure docs + log message fix).
