v0.19.0

🚀 Highlights

• Adding a device is now ~10x faster (30–40s → a couple seconds) — port detection uses a single stateless ClientHello probe instead of racing full handshakes. (#273, closes #211)
• Fixed devices sometimes loading with zero entities after a Core restart; DTLS sessions now close cleanly on HA shutdown and on failed first refresh. (#263, closes #254)
• Device identity is now resolved up front instead of after the first poll, fixing a race that could orphan entities onto an IP-keyed identity. Existing installs migrate automatically, keeping entity IDs/names/areas/automations. (#273, closes #236)
