- Prevented duplicate Wi-Fi event subscriptions during screen rebuilds.
- Updated docs
- Fixes in WifiManage and WifiConnect

# Architecture: Device/Driver/Module System (kernel layer, C API)
The kernel uses a Linux-inspired device model:
- **Module** (`struct Module`): loadable unit that registers drivers, hardware and symbols. Lifecycle: `module_construct` → `module_add` → `module_start`. Each device board and platform is a module.
- **Driver** (`struct Driver`): binds to devices via `compatible` strings (like devicetree). Has `start_device`/`stop_device` callbacks and an `api` pointer for type-specific operations.
- **Device** (`struct Device`): represents hardware. Lifecycle: `device_construct` → `device_add` → `device_start`. Has a parent-child tree, driver binding, and locking.
- **DeviceType** (`struct DeviceType`): enables discovering devices by category (e.g. `DISPLAY_TYPE`, `TOUCH_TYPE`, `UART_CONTROLLER_TYPE`).
Devices are defined via **devicetree** `.dts` files in each `Devices/<id>/` folder. A custom devicetree compiler (`Buildscripts/DevicetreeCompiler/compile.py`) generates C code from these files. Each device folder also has a `devicetree.yaml` specifying dependencies and the `.dts` file.
