Maintenance release focused on stability, type safety, and Home Assistant integration improvements.

✨ New Features

🔧 Support for legacy 0.2 / 0.3 boards — added device definitions for older boneIO Black hardware revisions
🏠 HA Update entity changed to binary sensor — firmware update entity is now a binary sensor for cleaner HA integration

Cover position precision — fixed inconsistent float/int conversion in cover position calculations, eliminating rounding drift during movement
Cover timestamp tracking — fixed incorrect timestamps in cover state updates
HA discovery device_class — fixed null device_class in Home Assistant autodiscovery by storing it directly on the input object
HA Update entity state during firmware restart — update entity now correctly shows 'Updating' state during firmware restart instead of going offline
Event form click handling — fixed click event handling in the WebUI event configuration form

Unified device_class — refactored device_class to be a single source of truth on the input object (GpioBaseClass)
Removed gpio_mode — deprecated gpio_mode setting, now handled by kernel overlay
Removed CAN System settings — CAN configuration migrated to system migrations, manual settings no longer needed
Type safety improvements — fixed multiple type checker issues across the codebase

If you see duplicated entities for your boneIO Black device in Home Assistant after updating:

Go to Home Assistant → Settings → Devices & Services → Devices tab
Enter Selection Mode, select the boneIO Black devices with duplicated entities, and delete them
Open the boneIO controller's WebUI → Settings → Communication Protocols → MQTT tab
Click "Delete and resend HA Discovery"

This will cleanly re-register all entities without duplicates.
