release: Dune Weaver 5.0.0

Finish the 5.0 release work on the FluidNC HTTP backend branch:

- Touch app rework: themed component set (ChoiceChip, DwSlider, DwSwitch,
  Icon, SectionLabel, SettingsCard), bundled fonts, supersampled sand-hued
  pattern previews with local-catalog rendering, page-level redesign
- Frontend: Table Wi-Fi management card, crash-homing orientation aligner
  dialog, firmware LED ring preview, sand-tinted pattern previews (previews
  now match the mobile/touch golden sand hue instead of reading white)
- Backend: firmware OTA updater module, board Wi-Fi/password/log endpoints,
  reconnect watchdog and mDNS relocate refinements, test updates
- Bump VERSION to 5.0.0; ignore the harvested board_log.txt runtime artifact

+- **Patterns** come from `GET /sand_patterns`; previews are rendered locally and cached

+- **Password-protected boards** are supported: the `$Sand/Password` key is stored
+  (base64) in `touch_settings.json` and sent as `X-Sand-Key` on every request; set it
+  under Control → Table Connection. `503 busy: low memory` responses are retried with
+  backoff, and the clock sync pushes epoch + POSIX timezone (quiet-hours/autostart
+  schedules run on board-local time).
 - **Playlists** are `.txt` files on the SD card — listed via `GET /sand_playlists`,
   read from `/sd/playlists/...`, and created/edited by uploading/deleting files.
 - **LEDs** use the firmware's named effect/palette catalogue (`$LED/*` / `/sand_led`).

 ## Features
 
-- **Modern SwipeView Navigation**: Swipe between Patterns, Playlists, and Control pages
-- **Pattern Browsing**: Beautiful grid view with search and thumbnail previews
-- **Pattern Execution**: Touch-optimized controls with pre-execution options
-- **Table Control**: Dedicated control page with status monitoring and quick actions
-- **Real-time Status**: WebSocket integration for live progress updates
-- **Modern UI**: Material Design inspired interface with animations and shadows
-- **Touch Optimized**: Large buttons, smooth animations, and intuitive gestures
+- **Five pages**: Browse, Playlists, Control, Light (LED ring), and Now Playing
+- **Pattern Browsing**: grid of circular sand-dish previews with search
+- **Now Playing**: progress drawn as an ember arc around the live pattern disc,
+  with the ball as the moving endpoint — plus transport and speed controls
+- **Table Control**: mDNS table discovery, movement, auto-play, screen settings
+- **"Table at night" design system**: warm basalt/bone night palette (default)
+  and a sand day palette, one amber accent, all defined in
+  `qml/components/ThemeManager.qml`; bundled Outfit + Material Icons Round
+  fonts in `fonts/` (registered in `main.py`, no system fonts needed)
+- **Touch Optimized**: 48px+ targets, pill controls, linuxfb-safe (no effects layers)

 ## Usage
 
 ### Navigation
-- **Swipe left/right** to navigate between the three main pages:
-  - **Patterns**: Browse and search through all available patterns
-  - **Playlists**: View and manage pattern playlists
-  - **Control**: Monitor table status and quick control actions
+- **Bottom tabs** switch between the five pages:
+  - **Browse**: search and pick patterns
+  - **Playlists**: create and run playlists
+  - **Control**: connection, movement, and device settings
+  - **Light**: the table's LED ring
+  - **Now Playing**: live progress ring and transport controls
 
 ### Pattern Management
 1. **Browse Patterns**: Swipe to Patterns page to see grid view with thumbnail previews

+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+

+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or

+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
