Nothing started the hotspot since hotspot_on_startup moved out of the
API, and NetworkManager does not autoconnect the Hotspot connection.
The Controller now starts it once per boot unless hotspot.on_startup is
false; a legacy wrolpi.yaml hotspot_on_startup: false is migrated.

* Hotspot captive portal: welcome page with the WROLPi's address
Devices that join the hotspot probe a fixed plain-HTTP URL to check for
Internet access. NetworkManager's shared-mode dnsmasq now resolves those
probe hostnames (and `wrolpi`) to the hotspot address via an include the
Controller writes when the hotspot starts, the probes land on the Controller
(port 80), and are redirected to /portal: "This is your WROLPi, its address is
10.42.0.1, open WROLPi / open the Controller".
Only the probe hostnames are hijacked so the hotspot keeps forwarding
everything else when the WROLPi has an uplink. The include is corrected and
the connection re-activated once if NetworkManager picked a non-default
subnet. Writing the include is best-effort; the hotspot starts regardless.
`hotspot.captive_portal` (controller.yaml, default true) toggles the probe
redirects and the include; like the other hotspot settings it applies on the
next hotspot start, so saving while the hotspot is up reports
restart_required and both Controller UIs say so. The status endpoint gains
the hotspot address and portal URL, shown in both UIs. repair.sh only
creates the include directory so a disabled setting survives upgrades.
Native only: Docker has no hotspot.

* captive portal: address review
* React: re-read the hotspot address whenever the HotspotToggle starts or
stops the hotspot, matching the fallback UI's refresh-on-status.
* A WPA3 start that reverts to WPA2 leaves the hotspot up, so it now gets
the captive portal address correction too.
* The corrective `nmcli connection up` logs a warning on a non-zero exit;
dnsmasq would otherwise keep the old address silently.
* HotspotStatusResponse.captive_portal defaults to true like everywhere else.
* Trim design narrative from the module docstring and React comments.
* The include-before-activate test now observes the include at the moment
of the `nmcli ... hotspot` call instead of inferring from call order.

* captive portal: never forward any record type for probe hosts
`address=` only synthesizes A/AAAA answers. iOS also asks for the HTTPS
record type; dnsmasq forwarded that upstream, Apple's answer aliased to
captive.g.aaplimg.com, and the phone fetched the genuine "Success" from
Apple instead of the portal. Each probe host now also gets `local=`, so
dnsmasq answers every type itself, and the CDN alias is a probe host too.
Observed with dnsmasq query logging on a hotspot with an eth0 uplink.

* captive portal: let acknowledged clients finish so the OS offers "Done"
A phone's sign-in sheet only shows "Done" once the OS re-probes and gets
the genuine success reply. The Controller now remembers each client (by
hotspot IP) that has loaded the portal page and answers its later probes
with the reply each OS expects (Apple "Success" HTML, Android 204, Windows
"Microsoft Connect Test", ...). The set is cleared when the hotspot
starts so a new session shows the page again.

* captive portal: acknowledge on Continue, not on view
iOS fetches the portal page in the background before opening the sheet,
then re-probes after the sheet's own navigation. Acknowledging on view
made that re-probe return "Success" as the sheet's content. Phones only
re-check the network (and offer "Done") after a full-page navigation, so
the welcome page now has a Continue button leading to /portal/continue,
which is the only place a client is acknowledged. The Continue page says
to tap Done and links to WROLPi and the Controller.
Also hijack clients3.google.com (older Android probe host).

* help: bump wrolpi-help to the captive portal and Speed Test docs
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* captive portal: comments describe the Continue design; clear acks on stop
Three comments still described acknowledging on view, which c72a7f7b
removed. Acknowledged clients are now also cleared when the hotspot
stops, so a lease reused in a later session sees the portal page.

Hotspot was reported as "not supported" on x86 machines (Ubuntu/Debian PCs)
because the Controller only watched the hardcoded default wlan0 device, while
predictable interface naming produces names like wlp2s0. The Settings page
saved hotspot_device to wrolpi.yaml, which the Controller never read.
The Controller now owns hotspot settings in controller.yaml:
* New endpoints: GET/POST /api/hotspot/settings, GET /api/hotspot/devices
(WiFi interfaces discovered via nmcli).
* Legacy hotspot_* values in wrolpi.yaml are migrated into controller.yaml
once on startup, unless controller.yaml already sets them.
* The Hotspot SSID/password/device fields moved from the Settings page to the
Control page next to the Hotspot toggle; the device is now a dropdown of
the WiFi devices found on the machine.
* The Controller fallback UI gets the same hotspot settings form for parity.

* Warn in the navbar when a hard drive runs hot.
The navbar already warns about high CPU temperature; add the equivalent
for drive temperature, since an overheating disk risks data loss and a
user running an off-grid library won't be watching for it.
- controller/lib/smart.py: build_smart_stats() returns the per-drive list
plus warning thresholds (55C warn / 65C critical) so the frontend stays
dumb. Reading SMART wakes a spun-down drive, so drives in standby are
detected with `smartctl -n standby` (which works through the USB-SATA
bridges where `hdparm -C` only reports "unknown") and NOT read; their
last-known reading is reused instead.
- controller/lib/status_worker.py: collect SMART on a slow 60s cadence
(cached on app.state) rather than the 5s status loop, so the poll does
not keep USB drives awake. The result flows into the same cached payload
via a new collect_all_status(smart_stats=...) kwarg.
- Frontend: useDriveTemperature() reports the hottest drive; Nav.js shows
a yellow/red `hdd` icon with a popup, mirroring the CPU warning.
Verified on hardware: smart_stats reports real temps and SMART runs once
a minute, not every 5s.

* Address Greptile review on HDD temperature warning.
- _drive_is_asleep also treats SLEEP mode as asleep, not just STANDBY.
smartctl -n standby exits "Device is in SLEEP mode, exit(2)" for the
deeper power mode; matching only "STANDBY" meant a SLEEP drive was read
and woken — the exact failure the check prevents. (TDD: added a failing
SLEEP test, then fixed.)
- useDriveTemperature uses ?? instead of || for the temperature fallback
to express "fall back only on null/undefined".
