Service & card configuration

[TimBroddin]

tl;dr This PR replaces the previous configuration system with a new one. There are now three types of configuration:

• Preferences: currently for WiFi - but can be expanded for other "core" configuration items.
• Service configuration: for things like PostHog API, HomeAssistant API, ... The idea is that this can be shared across multiple cards.
• Card configuration: configuration for single cards (insightId, ...)

Examples for registration

• Service config
• Card config

Features

• Dynamic form generation for registered config fields.
• Cards can now save more than one value.
• All service configurations are stored in a registry. This should make it easier to comment out cards and services.
• Removed the legacy configuration code.

This PR still needs (extensive) testing, but I wanted to put it out here to gather some feedback on the architectural changes @daniloc .

Any thoughts @daniloc ?

@TimBroddin Thanks for the nudge, this looks like the right direction, yes! Thanks for taking a swing here.

so the way I generally do testing for something like this is to get it flashed and running, then leave it sitting on a specific card overnight. if I wake up and it's still on that card and still operating stably, I'll be feeling pretty good. Have you had a bit of time to observe these changes on the device?

[TimBroddin]

Let's see if it still works tomorrow 😀

Good news! No crashes! I'll fix a small UI issue that happened after the rebase this weekend, resolve conflicts, and will then move this from draft.

Pfew ... summertime happened and I kept pushing forward rebasing this PR 🫠

I marked it as Ready for review now. I tested it and nothing seems to break. Could you try it as well @daniloc ?

[daniloc]

Thank you for your patience, @TimBroddin, been heads down on the last push to ship our kits. Having a look now but if I'm spotty it's because of drowning 🫠

My biggest thing is: why does setting up cards look so different? The explicit properties being set (as previous) is much nicer to my eye than these (anonymous) arguments passed into the constructor.

[TimBroddin]

You're right, and this is probably due to my assistant Claude wandering off, and me not noticing. I'll fix this!

[daniloc]

all good!

Pretty cool, but I'm not loving the changes to setting up cards. is that just the robot wandering off the path or do you have a case for why it's better?

Only other quirk is how, if you have existing configuration, you'll boot into a weird state when you come back after updating. I need to spend a little more time digging into what that's about.

I also found that adding a new insight worked, but it doesn't immediately load. Everything worked okay on reboot though and I don't know if that was a transient thing.

Otherwise man this is a big improvement. I'll do a little noodling around with design and microcopy.

Hey @daniloc 👋 Congratulations on the ✨ real ✨ launch of DeskHog. The announcement email is rad! (Also, respect to @leonposthog for setting up all those devices!)

I restored the initialization to its previous state. I spent some time on seamless migration, but somehow failed miserably (mainly due to bad time management). I'll find some time this week to make this work!
