agessaman 675bc6b55b feat(webconfig): manage the admin password from the portal
Adds an admin-password field to the setup wizard and the LAN editor, so a
node's password can be set during onboarding and rotated later without a
serial console.

The key maps to the top-level `password` CLI command rather than a `set`
handler, so it is classified separately from WC_ALLOWED_SET_KEYS. It is the
only key granted that treatment, which keeps the allowlist the sole route to
`set` and leaves no general path from a batch to arbitrary CLI commands.

Accepted in both modes: MODE_OFF is refused earlier in handleConfigPost, LAN
required a login to get that far, and the setup AP implies physical proximity.
Restricting rotation to the AP would have forced a bridge outage (`set bridge
off` + `start webconfig ap`) just to change a password.

First onboarding is gated server-side: while the setup AP is up and no WiFi is
configured, a batch that reboots or sets wifi.ssid must also carry a password,
so neither the Advanced editor nor a crafted request can save WiFi and strand
the node on the factory password. The flag is latched at AP start, so a save
that fails partway cannot drop the requirement on retry.

The CLI's `password` command echoes the new secret back in its reply, and
replies are served to the client over the open setup AP, so the reply is
overwritten with "OK" before it can be serialized.

UI: the field lives with the other NodePrefs settings (wizard step 2, and the
Node card on the Radio tab) rather than beside the WiFi password, which is a
different credential. Confirm fields mirror their password twin and are cleared
whenever it is, so a stale confirm value cannot fail a later save as a spurious
mismatch. Validation runs ahead of the WiFi-changed split so a password-only
save is still checked, and reveals the Radio tab before reporting, since the
save bar spans every tab.

Host unit tests

Fast, hardware-free unit tests for the fork's pure logic, run on the host with GoogleTest via PlatformIO's native environment. They cover the extractable observer/WebConfig logic (validation, preset table, topic templates, key parsing) — the parts that don't depend on the ESP32, radio, or network stack. Integration behavior (AsyncTCP transport, WiFi/MQTT, SoftAP) is exercised separately; see "Local testing without hardware" in MQTT_IMPLEMENTATION.md.

Running

pio test -e native                      # all suites
pio test -e native -f test_webconfig_keys   # a single suite

A green [PASSED] per suite means GoogleTest returned 0 (all assertions passed). PlatformIO's "0 test cases" line is just its Unity-style counter and does not reflect the GoogleTest count — run the built binary directly (.pio/build/native/program) to see the per-assertion breakdown.

Conventions (and how to add a suite)

  • Each test/test_<name>/ directory builds into its own GoogleTest program and must define its own main() (::testing::InitGoogleTest + RUN_ALL_TESTS).
  • Tests are host-only: include only pure headers. Arduino/crypto stubs live in test/mocks/ (on the include path via -I test/mocks).
  • Firmware headers are included from src (via -I src, e.g. #include "helpers/MQTTPresets.h"). Some are guarded or ESP-flavored, so a suite may need shims before the include — e.g. test_mqtt_presets does #define WITH_MQTT_BRIDGE 1 (the preset table is behind that flag) and #define PROGMEM (the embedded CA-cert strings are PROGMEM-qualified).
  • To add a suite: create test/test_<name>/test_<name>.cpp with a main(), and add any host-only source it links to the native env's build_src_filter in platformio.ini (header-only code needs no source entry). No other wiring.
  • Keep logic testable by extracting pure functions into headers (as MQTTObserverValidation.h / WebConfigKeys.h / MQTTTopicTemplate.h do) and having the firmware call the same functions.
