Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 4.8 310783c6a3 Repeater admin: float the login over the node picker, not a blank frame
The admin-login password prompt ran on an empty stack (the picker was popped
when it returned), so session.text pushed a blank base and the prompt — and any
"wrong password" rejection — floated over an erased background.

open_repeater_admin now redraws the node picker as a static backdrop (extracted
admin_picker_rows, shared with the live pick so they can't drift) and keeps it
pushed across _login, with the picked node highlighted. The password box and the
rejection float over the picker, matching the device-picker and trophy-case
dialogs. floating=True stays on the prompt as a belt-and-suspenders fallback.

Also drop the inert floating=True on tx_optimize._resolve_password: that
resolver only runs on the scripted CLI path (PlainUi, no stack), so the flag
never did anything — the menu path logs in inside the pushed sweep screen.

"""The ``tx-optimize`` tool: tune a remote node's TX power for the best signal at a target.
You force a path (just like ``trace``) ending at the **target** node where SNR is
measured. The node one hop *before* the target — one you hold admin rights on — is the
node whose transmit power gets swept and tuned. Admin passwords are remembered between
runs.
In the interactive menu two pickers choose the link — the node to tune (repeaters
you hold credentials for lead the list), then the target whose reception is optimized —
and the live sweep screen (:mod:`meshterm.ui.tx_screen`) takes it from there, armed but
idle: route, range, step, and samples are adjusted in place, nothing transmits until
Sweep is committed, levels land in a bar chart as they are measured, and the apply
decision is made *after* the sweep, over the evidence. On the CLI it stays a scriptable
one-shot with the full flag set (``--path``, range, step, samples, ``--apply``, the HTML
chart), and progress streams like a trace.
