 The default <code>cascade</code> settings profile enables device and LoRa RX power saving;
 saved preferences take precedence, and active USB/network services can prevent
 device sleep. <code>--profile default</code> instead uses the upstream power-saving defaults.</p>

+<p>Some normal ESP32 roles begin in the legacy 1.25 MiB dual-OTA layout but have
+a canonical Full image with a larger partition table. Their Full image keeps
+the ordinary target identity for future mOTA updates, but the first install is
+always its exact <code>-merged.bin</code> over USB: LoRa mOTA intentionally rejects a
