## Included patches

- **Moonraker bridge:** multi-stage filament matching (name, sub-brand, vendor fallback) with vendor-filter skip
- **AMS empty-slot fix:** empty AMS slots are shown correctly in grey (no crash / wrong filament)
- **Filament ID:** unique `filament_id` for derived user presets (correct bridge synchronization)
- **Kobra X profiles:** printer and G-code profiles for the Anycubic Kobra X
