viewit 6d6df59ff2 feat(filament): auto-match combined ACE-RFID vendor+type strings (Issue #101)
Anycubic's ACE RFID system concatenates vendor + material + a truncated
serial into one `type` string for custom (third-party) RFID tags, e.g.
"GEEETECH PLA Bas" for a Geeetech PLA spool. The bridge previously
treated this whole string as an unknown material and fell back to a
neutral "Generic <type>" profile, even when the user had already
imported a matching OrcaSlicer profile via the ZIP import feature
(Issue #41) - forcing a manual per-slot reassignment every time that
spool was loaded. Anycubic Slicer Next resolves the same tag correctly.

Add two helpers next to the existing _normalize_material/_material_family:
- _parse_combined_rfid_type(): splits the raw type string, recognizes a
  known vendor as the first token (checked against the merged
  system+user filament library, so custom vendors like "Geeetech" that
  only exist in the user's imported profiles are included), and
  extracts the material family from the remainder via the existing
  _material_family() prefix search. Returns ("", "") for a vendorless
  string like plain "PLA", leaving normal spool reports untouched.
- _match_profile_by_vendor_family(): looks up an imported/system profile
  by (vendor, family) rather than exact name, since the truncated RFID
  string never contains the full profile name verbatim.

Wired into _build_lane_data() as a third resolution layer, after the
existing manual per-slot override and before the Generic-library
fallback - not persisted to config.ini, so it re-derives fresh on every
call and can't go stale if a differently-tagged spool is loaded later.

Changes in this build

  • Fix: on printers with multiple daisy-chained ACE units and no toolhead buffer (e.g. Kobra S1 with 2 ACE Pro), only the first unit's 4 slots were ever shown on the dashboard or synced to OrcaSlicer — the bridge silently discarded every ACE unit after the first. All units now show up correctly (Issue #95, thanks @hoovercl for the detailed report and logs)
  • Feat: the GCode browser now supports multi-select and bulk delete — click any file's checkbox to enter select mode, use "Select All" to grab everything currently visible (respecting your active search/filter), then delete the selection with one confirmation instead of one-by-one (Issue #94, thanks @Blaim)
  • Fix: printing via OrcaSlicer "Upload and print" failed (or fed the wrong spool) when a slot below the used filament was empty — e.g. printing with Filament 4 while slot 3 was empty. The generated AMS slot mapping inserted a placeholder pointing at the physically empty tray, which the printer rejects. Placeholders now point at a loaded tray instead. Printing with all slots full already worked and is unchanged.
  • Fix: manually assigning a filament profile to an ACE slot could crash the MQTT callback ('list' object has no attribute 'get') when the printer rejected the assignment, e.g. for custom-RFID/third-party filament. The bridge now handles the printer's failure response cleanly instead of crashing, and the log now correlates a rejected assignment with the request that triggered it (slot/type/color) so a rejection reason can be diagnosed from bridge logs alone (Issue #100, thanks @Blaim)
  • Fix: the camera stream could hang forever after a printer reboot — the printer rotates its stream token on reboot, but the running ffmpeg processes kept reading from the stale, now-silent connection and never noticed. The bridge now detects the URL change and automatically restarts the camera pipeline, ffmpeg itself now times out on a stalled read as a second line of defense, and /api/camera/stream now returns a proper 503 instead of hanging if no frame arrives within 5s (Issue #99, thanks @fmontagna for the excellent root-cause analysis and reproduction)
  • Fix: shrinking the Progress dashboard tile below its default height clipped the lower content (time grid, filename, buttons) out of view instead of scaling with it; dashboard tiles in general could show a scrollbar even when there was nothing to scroll. Both fixed (Issue #97, thanks @Blaim)
  • Feat: custom ACE-RFID filament tags (e.g. written via the "ACE RFID" app for third-party spools) are now matched automatically against your imported OrcaSlicer profiles. Anycubic's ACE RFID system concatenates vendor + material + a truncated serial into one type string (e.g. "GEEETECH PLA Bas") for custom tags — the bridge now recognizes the vendor prefix and resolves it to your already-imported profile instead of falling back to a generic default, so no manual per-slot reassignment is needed anymore (Issue #101, thanks @Blaim)
