Records the design-level suggestions from the 2026-08-03 review that were
not part of dd2d428 (UI freeze during fetches, stale-data indication,
debug readout removal, dead utils.c, OTA partitions, small cleanups),
plus the facts already verified and questions already answered so a
future agent does not re-derive or re-ask them.

- Clear WIFI_CONNECTED_BIT on disconnect so wifi_is_connected() stops
reporting a link that is gone; the weather task's reconnect path was
dead code without it.
- After the 8 fast retries are spent, retry every 30s via an esp_timer
forever instead of giving up until power cycle. FAIL_BIT now only
unblocks the boot-time wait and is cleared on reconnect.
- Start the weather task even when the boot-time connect times out --
the background retries may still bring WiFi up later. Only an empty
SSID skips it.
- Round temperatures with lroundf(): the old +0.5f-and-truncate rounded
toward zero below 0degF (-10.6 displayed as -10).
- Drop the stale single-framebuffer "Partial-mode flush" comment in
display_rgb.c, fix the README paragraph claiming the bounce buffer is
disabled (it is enabled and load-bearing), and correct the
sdkconfig.defaults header to N16R8/16MB.
