Decision spike for the firmware/test/ host harness (split of bf-4ne).
Records why the ESP-IDF --target linux / Unity-host path was rejected:
csi.c is blocked by esp_wifi.h and provision.c by driver/uart.h, and
firmware/main builds as one component whose REQUIRES line names
esp_wifi/bt/driver — none of which have a linux build. Falls back to a
plain gcc harness under firmware/test/ that does not link main/*.c.
Reason must be carried into bf-4ne's test-runner header comment.

Add optional mothership IP override to the provisioning flow so nodes
on networks where mDNS is blocked (enterprise WiFi, mesh, VLANs) can
connect on first boot without manual intervention.
- Add ms_ip field to provisioning Payload and request structs
- Firmware writes ms_ip to both NVS_KEY_MS_IP and NVS_KEY_MS_IP_PROV
- Discovery prefers provisioned IP on first attempt, falls back to
mDNS, then cached IP
- Web Serial wizard adds Mothership IP field in Network Troubleshooting
- Auto-populates IP when browser accesses dashboard by IP address
- Document when/how to use the override in docs/notes/mdns-override.md
