Enforce one voice across every screen: column and section headers are
UPPERCASE, menu items are Capitalized buttons, and short descriptions
drop their trailing period (with real ellipses instead of "...").
Tools gain a display `title` separate from their kebab-case CLI name,
so a menu item now reads exactly like the screen it opens ("Device
configuration" opens Device configuration) and result windows inherit
the same name. Every sub-screen backs out via a "Back" row below a
blank separator (the config editor was missing both; its Close is now
Back, spelling out the discard when changes are staged), while the main
menu and device picker keep "Quit". Panel and dialog titles now wear a
brighter tint of their border colour via new title.* theme styles.

Companions can now be reached over Bluetooth as well as USB. Rather than
a parallel BLE path, this generalizes the existing serial abstractions so
a device is identified by a transport (serial | ble) plus a target (COM
port or Bluetooth address); every feature rides the same Device interface
and works over either link unchanged.
- discovery: DiscoveredDevice gains transport/address/name and
transport-aware stable_id/label/confidence/target; discover_ble_devices
scans for MeshCore* adverts via bleak, discover_all merges both.
- connection: MeshCoreDevice opens create_ble vs create_serial by
transport; new link_present() liveness (OS port enumeration for serial,
the BLE client's is_connected flag for Bluetooth); is_connection_lost
recognizes Bleak errors and BLE transport callbacks; probe_device is the
transport-aware smoke test.
- disconnect: the session watcher polls transport-neutral link_alive(), so
a dropped BLE link raises the same reconnect dialog and auto-resume as an
unplugged cable; reconnect rebuilds the same endpoint by address.
- selection/context/store/profiles: --ble address, remembered BLE default,
and BLE device profiles all resolve to the right transport.
- UI/CLI: startup picker scans both transports behind a spinner and tags
Bluetooth companions; `devices` lists them (--no-ble to skip); global
--ble/--ble-pin flags; README and example config updated.
Validated on hardware: discovery, connect, reconnect, and channel
messaging (send + receive) over BLE.

Watch the companion link while the menu runs; if it disconnects, float a
centered dialog with a spinner and a single Abort button while a
background task retries the connection. The dialog dismisses itself the
moment the device returns, so the user's only action is to give up:
Enter aborts, and Esc is deliberately inert so a stray keypress can't
drop the session while a replug may be a second away.
Give every popup dialog the same cyan reverse-highlight button. This
adds a "selected" theme style (and "err.reverse"): Rich silently renders
a style string that mixes a theme name with an attribute ("reverse
brand") as plain text, so the reverse is baked into a single-name theme
entry instead. Center the button chips with manual padding rather than
Text(justify="center"), which strips a styled span's trailing whitespace
and left the label hugging the fill's left edge.

Rename the package directory, imports, brand strings, env-var prefixes,
console-script entry point, and the config/data dir (~/.config/meshterm).
