Maintenance & updates

Versions, updating safely, backups, storage housekeeping, demo mode.

• 01Versions explained
  Surface version vs firmware stamp, what a release cut does and does not change, where to read each on the dashboard.
• 02Updating the brain, the toolchain and the fleet firmware
  The routine order: brain first, then the ESPHome toolchain if offered, then firmware with a canary. Ethernet gates, refusals, rollback and the SSH fallbacks.
• 03Backup, restore, setup profiles and factory reset
  What a backup zip contains, how import works, what a setup profile carries (and what it deliberately leaves out), and what factory reset does and does not touch.
• 04Storage, retention and housekeeping
  What fills the SD card (history, journals, media, camera frames, build caches), the retention knobs for each, and a monthly checklist.
• 05Demo mode and the public demo
  What demo mode simulates, what it refuses, how to run it locally, and where the public demo lives.
