Verification

Goal

Keep firmware changes reproducible and separate "compiles locally" from "works on the hive node".

Run python scripts/compile_check.py for a compile-only check.
Run python scripts/hardware_smoke_check.py before OTA upload.
If you need device-specific validation, provide a real local src/config.h.
Flash or OTA-update the node using the local deployment path from platformio.ini.
Confirm serial boot output reaches:
- Wi-Fi connect
- MQTT connect
- BME280 detection
- deep sleep entry
Verify these MQTT topics receive fresh values:
- HT_BME280_Temperature
- HT_BME280_Humidity
- HT_BME280_Pressure
- HT_BME280_Altitude

Compile-only validation is now available via python scripts/compile_check.py.
Hardware preflight is now available via python scripts/hardware_smoke_check.py.
Real hardware validation is still mandatory after sensor, networking, OTA, or sleep-logic changes.
