Jean-Pierre MartineauandClaude Opus 4.8 d19266bd5c Punch-list pass: dashboard hints, packet paging, decrypt, Time Machine axes
Four small UX gaps closed together:

- Dashboard's footer hint was missing Home/End even though the screen
  already handled them.
- The packet viewer's paging keys were reversed relative to the list
  that opens it: PgUp/PgDn walked packets while the dashboard feed
  walks with up/down. Swapped so up/down page through packets (matching
  the feed) and PgUp/PgDn scroll a tall body (matching every other
  screen's scroll keys).
- A raw "packet" entry (an overheard RX_LOG_DATA frame) now shows its
  parsed payload class and route, and — for a channel-text frame naming
  a channel we hold the key for — its decrypted text. The AES/HMAC
  logic lives in core/channels.py as pure, unit-tested crypto
  (decrypt_channel_text), independent of the vendored meshcore
  library's own reader internals; the dashboard fetches the device's
  channel secrets once at open time and hands them down to each
  PacketViewer it opens. Raw-field dumps now skip fields already folded
  into a flavoured row instead of repeating them.
- The Time Machine's whole-mesh charts (packets/day, nodes/day, rhythm)
  gained the same mirrored numeric y-axis the dashboard's activity
  chart already had. That gutter-drawing logic moved into
  braillechart.axis_chart, a shared widget, and the dashboard's own
  activity chart was refactored to use it too instead of hand-rolling
  its own copy.

meshterm/ui/channels.py's _read_slots is now public (read_channel_slots)
since the dashboard opener needs it too.
