 ## 4. Coding Conventions & Style Guide
 
+**Read the developer documentation before writing a component.** https://developers.esphome.io covers the
+component lifecycle, the main loop, and the reasoning behind the rules below in far more depth than this
+file does, and it is the authority when they disagree. The most useful starting points:
+
+*   https://developers.esphome.io/architecture/components/ - component lifecycle, `setup()`, `loop()`,
+    setup priorities, and how a component is registered.
+*   https://developers.esphome.io/architecture/components/advanced/ - choosing between `loop()`,
+    `set_interval`, `set_timeout` and `defer`; waking the loop from another thread; the RAM cost of each.
+*   https://developers.esphome.io/contributing/code/ - contribution rules, public API and breaking changes.
+
 *   **Formatting:**
     *   **Python:** Uses `ruff` and `flake8` for linting and formatting. Configuration is in `pyproject.toml`.
     *   **C++:** Uses `clang-format` for formatting. Configuration is in `.clang-format`.
@@ -142,6 +152,47 @@ This document provides essential context for AI models interacting with this pro
     *   **Indentation:** Use spaces (two per indentation level), not tabs
     *   **Type aliases:** Prefer `using type_t = int;` over `typedef int type_t;`
     *   **Line length:** Wrap lines at no more than 120 characters
+    *   **Timing in `loop()`:** Never call `millis()` in a `loop()` body. The current tick's timestamp is
+        already cached - use `App.get_loop_component_start_time()` (from `esphome/core/application.h`).
+        Only reach for `millis()` when you genuinely need sub-tick resolution inside a long operation.
+    *   **The main loop runs every 16 ms.** A rate-limit gate shorter than that does nothing: the check
+        passes on essentially every pass of the loop, so it costs a comparison and buys nothing. Pick an
+        interval comfortably coarser than 16 ms, or drop the gate entirely and accept running every loop.
+        ```cpp
+        // Bad - a 10ms gate against a 16ms loop never holds anything back
+        static constexpr uint32_t POLL_INTERVAL_MS = 10;
+        const uint32_t now = millis();
+        if (now - this->last_poll_ < POLL_INTERVAL_MS)
+          return;
+        this->last_poll_ = now;
+        ```
+        ```cpp
+        // Good - an interval that actually rate limits, off the cached timestamp
+        static constexpr uint32_t POLL_INTERVAL_MS = 100;
+        const uint32_t now = App.get_loop_component_start_time();
+        if (now - this->last_poll_ < POLL_INTERVAL_MS)
+          return;
+        this->last_poll_ = now;
+        ```
+        Pick the primitive by cadence: under 250 ms use a gated `loop()`; 500 ms and above use
+        `set_interval`. Full reasoning, including why `set_interval` costs more below 500 ms:
+        https://developers.esphome.io/architecture/components/advanced/#quick-rule-of-thumb
+    *   **Don't override a default with the same value:** if a base class method already returns what you
+        want, do not override it. `Component::get_setup_priority()` returns `setup_priority::DATA`, so a
+        component that wants `DATA` should simply leave it alone.
+        ```cpp
+        // Bad - this is exactly what the base class already does
+        float get_setup_priority() const override { return setup_priority::DATA; }
+        ```
+    *   **Logging string literals:** wrap literals passed as `%s` arguments in `LOG_STR_LITERAL()` so they
+        can be stored in flash rather than RAM.
+        ```cpp
+        // Bad
+        ESP_LOGV(TAG, "Key %u %s", key, pressed ? "pressed" : "released");
+
+        // Good
+        ESP_LOGV(TAG, "Key %u %s", key, pressed ? LOG_STR_LITERAL("pressed") : LOG_STR_LITERAL("released"));
+        ```
     *   **Constructor parameters vs setters:** Component properties that are both **required** and **invariant**
         (never change after construction) should be constructor parameters rather than set via setter methods.
         This makes the dependency explicit and prevents use of the object in an incompletely-initialized state.

+           returns a function that each consumer calls once per slot it will occupy, and after every
+           `to_code` has run it emits the define with the final count. When nothing registers, no define is
+           emitted and the storage plus its registration method compile out entirely.

            Linear search on small datasets (1-16 elements) is often faster than hashing/tree overhead, but this depends on lookup frequency and access patterns. For frequent lookups in hot code paths, the O(1) vs O(n) complexity difference may still matter even for small datasets. `std::vector` with simple structs is usually fine—it's the heavy containers (`map`, `set`, `unordered_map`) that should be avoided for small datasets unless profiling shows otherwise.

+           `std::string`. Code generation passes a string literal that lives in flash for the life of the

+## OTA update encryption
+
+The `esphome` OTA platform optionally encrypts updates with the same Noise
+`NNpsk0` pattern the native API uses; one key protects the device. A device
+whose `api:` block has an encryption key, static in the YAML or provisioned at
+runtime, compiles in the transport and offers it on every OTA connection once
+it holds a key, so an uploader presenting that key gets the guarantees below
+even without an `ota: encryption:` block; only that block makes the device
+require encryption. The guarantees are: the firmware image is confidential in
+transit, the uploader is authenticated by the pre-shared key, and the plaintext
+negotiation preceding the handshake is bound into the handshake prologue, so
+stripping or tampering with it fails the first MAC. With `ota: encryption:`
+configured both ends fail closed with no override: the device refuses
+plaintext uploads, and the CLI refuses to send plaintext when a key is
+configured. Without that block the CLI tries a static api key when the device
+offers and, until 2027.3.0, falls back to plaintext with a warning when the
+offer is missing or the handshake fails; a runtime provisioned key never
+reaches the CLI, so those uploads stay plaintext.
+
+Defeating any of that without the key is in scope: a device that requires
+encryption accepting a plaintext or downgraded upload, getting past the MAC,
+or recovering image contents from captured traffic.
+
+The following are **not** vulnerabilities, by design:
+
+- Plaintext OTA on a device with no `ota: encryption:` block, including one
+  that offers encryption because it has an api key. That is the documented
+  default, authenticated (if at all) by the OTA password. An uploader that
+  takes the offer skips the password; the key authenticates it. With a
+  runtime provisioned key and no `provisioning:` window, whoever provisions
+  the key gains that upload path too; validation warns about the pair.
+- The CLI plaintext fallback until 2027.3.0: without `ota: encryption:` an
+  active attacker who strips the offer or breaks the handshake can make a
+  keyed CLI upload plaintext, with the pre-existing plaintext exposure. A
+  device that requires encryption still refuses that upload.
+- The enablement window: firmware built with a static api key already offers
+  encryption, so turning on `ota: encryption:` is itself an encrypted upload.
+  Older firmware needs one last plaintext upload of an offering build, with
+  the pre-existing plaintext exposure.
+- The web OTA `/update` endpoint alongside encryption. With the `web_server`
+  or `prometheus` component the shared listener is always up, so the endpoint
+  stays reachable and validation warns about that combination;
+  `captive_portal:` alone brings the listener up only for the fallback AP
+  window, which is the intended recovery path, so that is not warned about.
+- CLI retry behavior on transport or MAC failures; every attempt renegotiates
+  a fresh handshake with fresh ephemerals, so retrying does not weaken
+  authentication.
+
 ## Explicitly out of scope
 
 - Local attackers who already have shell access on the host that runs `esphome`.

+ *
+ * Three refresh modes are used, following the Waveshare EPD_7in5_V2 examples:
+ * - full_update_every == 1: plain full refresh. The new image is sent
+ *   inverted to DTM2 (0x13) and the controller uses its normal waveform.
+ * - full_update_every > 1, full update: fast full refresh. The data polarity

+ *   via the temperature registers, and the image is sent to both DTM1 (0x10,
+ *   inverted) and DTM2 (0x13) so that every pixel transitions.
+ * - full_update_every > 1, partial update: partial refresh. A partial-update
+ *   waveform is forced, partial mode is entered with a full-screen window and
+ *   only DTM2 is sent; the controller compares against its previous-image RAM.
