A new Device management entry for administering repeaters and room
servers. The shared credentialed-first picker (extracted from TX
optimize) chooses the node, login runs on remembered passwords with a
one-time prompt otherwise (forgotten on rejection), and the editor
lands in the local device-configuration screen's exact lanes — but
speaking the node's text CLI through a new public
Device.send_remote_command, which brings the repeater-only knobs the
local editor never had: TX delay, Direct TX delay, RX delay, airtime
factor, advert intervals, flood max, repeat, guest password.
Reads cost one paced mesh round trip each, so the editor never
bulk-reads on open: values show what the last read said, age-stamped,
from a new per-node remote.json cache; Read settings refreshes them
under an abortable progress dialog and Apply sends the staged sets
the same way, folding confirmed values back into the cache and
keeping refused ones staged. Advert, clock sync, password change, and
reboot run as confirmed popups.
The Command line is a readline-style screen onto the node's raw CLI:
per-node history persisted across sessions (↑↓ recall, adjacent-dupe
suppression, capped), Tab completion over the known verbs plus every
catalog get/set spelling with ghost-text preview, one command in
flight at a time. The simulator grows a full repeater CLI so all of
it drives against --mock, and a scripted one-shot
(repeater-admin <node> <command…>) covers automation.

The old flow asked for a hand-typed comma-separated path, logged in
before showing anything, and started transmitting the moment the
screen opened, on parameters you couldn't touch. It now walks like the
trace feature: two pickers choose the link — the node to tune
(credentialed repeaters lead, wearing the key glyph), then the target
whose reception is optimized — and the screen opens armed but idle.
An action list drives it: Route opens the trace path composer pinned
at the tuned node (suggestions from observed links; direct by
default), Range/Step/Samples float small dialogs, and the Sweep row
always quotes the worst-case transmission count, so the cost of a
commit is on screen before anything goes on the air (coarse_levels
goes public to price it). Sweep logs in first — the password prompt
floats only when nothing is remembered — then runs coarse → refine →
verify under the trace tool's in-flight dialog with Abort, levels
landing in the bar chart behind it, best starred. Completion parks the
cursor on a new Apply-winner action row (the after-sweep dialog's
second chance), and a finished sweep leaves the screen armed: adjust
and sweep again, the chart clearing as a new measurement starts.
The scripted CLI keeps its one-shot flag set, table, and HTML chart.

Messaging becomes Mesh and takes in Nodes (between Channels and Map —
the "who's out there" view) and Send advert (last in section: its one
action, after its views), so everything mesh-wide lives under one
heading. Device becomes Device management and keeps the box-level
tools; Diagnostics becomes Tools.

Tools gain an icon attribute — menu-only, so result windows and the
CLI keep the plain title — and the menu loop composes it into the
aligned name lane. Single-codepoint, emoji-presentation glyphs only,
so the two-cell width holds across terminals: 💬 Chat, 📻 Channels,
🌍 Map, 👥 Nodes, 📡 Send advert, 🔧 configuration, 🔨 actions,
📋 info, 🎯/👣 the traces, 🎧 Monitor, 📶 TX optimize, 🚪 Quit.

The six-prompt chain (path, samples, min, max, step, apply-up-front)
collapses to one: pick the path, and the live sweep screen takes it
from there. Levels land in an SNR bar chart as they are measured,
ascending by power with the current best starred, while the optimizer
announces its phase — coarse sweep, refining around the leader,
verifying — through a new on_phase callback. Reliability and trace
counts sit beside every bar, and a level nothing got through at reads
as an explicit no-reply row.
The apply decision moves to where it belongs: after the sweep, a
floating dialog offers the winner against the node's original power
(Cancel left, Apply right, Enter commits), and `a` re-offers it if
first declined. The sweep itself runs with apply off, so Esc at any
point stops the search and the optimizer's unwind restores the
original transmit power.
The sweep persists under one runs row (levels and traces alike), the
scripted CLI keeps its full flag set, chart, and --apply semantics,
and the tool moves in with Trace under Diagnostics.

Five features leave the menu and CLI: the heard-nodes review, the
baseline-regression checker, the offline link-budget calculator, the
route-stability graph, and the run-history browser — along with their
services (link_quality, link_budget, route_stability), the pyvis route
renderer, and the pyvis/networkx dependencies.
The data layer is untouched where it still earns its keep: passive
monitoring keeps recording every overheard packet (the header counters,
Nodes, and Map read it, and `meshterm monitor` still captures a bounded
window from the CLI), run logging keeps writing `runs` rows, and trace
history stays queryable for the trace tools. Only the route-map-only
`all_traces` query goes.
Also fixes a latent tie-break flake in the nodes sort: ages are now
measured from one clock snapshot, so identical last-seen stamps really
tie and keep their A→Z order in both directions.

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.

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