flash controller: store ACR/OPTKEYR instead of swallowing them, which is what stopped the factory bootloader from starting
slots over the firmware's own serial protocol (0x0720 family); uvk5_socket/uvk5_testenv so a fresh checkout skips instead of failing; web UI slot table and Multiboot button; quick start, CONTRIBUTING, and stop tracking firmware images and radio dumps
Wraps the connect/negotiate/command dance with a lock, since only one client
can hold the QMP socket at a time. Events interleave with replies, so command()
reads until it sees the matching return rather than trusting the first message.
Connection failure carries the reason and the likely cause: key.py already
holding the socket.
