Merge branch 'dev' into mbedtls-tls-off

Treat a disabled TLS sub-option in sdkconfig_options as no request
Keep TLS for components that re-include esp-tls and gate the sdkconfig escape hatch on value

 ## 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`.
@@ -152,47 +142,6 @@ file does, and it is the authority when they disagree. The most useful starting
    *   **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.

           Use `cg.add_define("MAX_SERVICES", count)` to set the size from Python configuration.
           Like `std::array` but with vector-like API (`push_back()`, `size()`) and no STL reallocation code.

-           **Listener and child-entity registration lists are the most common case, and the most commonly
-           missed.** A `register_*()` method called once per child at code generation time has a count that
-           is known at compile time, so it should never be a `std::vector`. Use `cg.slot_counter()`: it
-           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.
-           ```python
-           # hub component's __init__.py

           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.

-        5. **Strings set once from configuration:** Use `StringRef` (`esphome/core/string_ref.h`) rather than
-           `std::string`. Code generation passes a string literal that lives in flash for the life of the
-           program, so storing a `std::string` copies it onto the heap for nothing. `StringRef` is a
-           non-owning pointer plus length; it does not copy, and it must only ever refer to storage that
-           outlives it (a string literal, or a buffer owned elsewhere).
-           ```cpp
-           // Bad - heap copy of a literal that is already in flash

 This section documents the current design and scope; it is not a judgment that the
 design is optimal or that it will not change.

-## 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. With an
-`encryption:` block configured 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.
-Both ends fail closed with no override: a device built with a key refuses
-plaintext uploads, and the CLI refuses to send plaintext when a key is
-configured.
-
-Defeating any of that without the key is in scope: a keyed device 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 `encryption:` block. That is the
-  documented default, authenticated (if at all) by the OTA password.
- The enablement window: turning encryption on takes one last upload of the
-  encryption-enabled firmware over the existing plaintext channel, with the
-  pre-existing plaintext exposure.
- The web OTA `/update` endpoint alongside encryption. The `web_server`
-  component keeps it always reachable, and `captive_portal:` auto-loads it
-  for the fallback AP window; validation warns about both combinations, and
-  the operator keeps the recovery path.
- 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`.

- *
- * Buffer layout: 1 bit per pixel, 1=white, 0=black (the base class default).
- *
- * The INITIALISE state sends the panel configuration followed by power-on
- * (0x04); the state machine busy-waits for power-on to complete before
- * TRANSFER_DATA, which first writes the waveform/mode registers (these are
- * only accepted while powered) and then the image data. The state machine
- * busy-waits again before triggering REFRESH_SCREEN (0x12).
- *
- * 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
- *   is flipped via the VCOM/data-interval register, a fast waveform is forced
- *   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.
