Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/libretiny_1120' into integration

Move the authentication/connection check switch into
APIServerConnectionBase::read_message before the dispatch switch,
eliminating the APIServerConnection class entirely. APIConnection
now inherits directly from APIServerConnectionBase.

+        **Why Heap Allocation Matters:**
+
+        ESP devices run for months with small heaps shared between Wi-Fi, BLE, LWIP, and application code. Over time, repeated allocations of different sizes fragment the heap. Failures happen when the largest contiguous block shrinks, even if total free heap is still large. We have seen field crashes caused by this.
+
+        **Heap allocation after `setup()` should be avoided unless absolutely unavoidable.** Every allocation/deallocation cycle contributes to fragmentation. ESPHome treats runtime heap allocation as a long-term reliability bug, not a performance issue. Helpers that hide allocation (`std::string`, `std::to_string`, string-returning helpers) are being deprecated and replaced with buffer and view based APIs.

            Linear search on small datasets (1-16 elements) is often faster than hashing/tree overhead, but this depends on lookup frequency and access patterns. For frequent lookups in hot code paths, the O(1) vs O(n) complexity difference may still matter even for small datasets. `std::vector` with simple structs is usually fine—it's the heavy containers (`map`, `set`, `unordered_map`) that should be avoided for small datasets unless profiling shows otherwise.

+        5. **Avoid `std::deque`:** It allocates in 512-byte blocks regardless of element size, guaranteeing at least 512 bytes of RAM usage immediately. This is a major source of crashes on memory-constrained devices.

+        6. **Detection:** Look for these patterns in compiler output:
            - Large code sections with STL symbols (vector, map, set)
            - `alloc`, `realloc`, `dealloc` in symbol names
            - `_M_realloc_insert`, `_M_default_append` (vector reallocation)

         - Widely-used components (mdns, wifi, ble)
         - Components causing flash size complaints
 
-        **When not to optimize:**
-        - Single-use niche components
-        - Code where readability matters more than bytes
-        - Already using appropriate containers
+        Note: Avoiding heap allocation after `setup()` is always required regardless of component type. The prioritization above is about the effort spent on container optimization (e.g., migrating from `std::vector` to `StaticVector`).
 
     *   **State Management:** Use `CORE.data` for component state that needs to persist during configuration generation. Avoid module-level mutable globals.

+# ESPHome PR Workflow
+
+When creating a pull request for esphome, follow these steps:
+
+## 1. Create Branch from Upstream
+
+Always base your branch on **upstream** (not origin/fork) to ensure you have the latest code:
+
+```bash
+git fetch upstream
+git checkout -b <branch-name> upstream/dev
+```
+
+## 2. Read the PR Template
+
+Before creating a PR, read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` to understand required fields.
+
+## 3. Create the PR
+
+Use `gh pr create` with the **full template** filled in. Never skip or abbreviate sections.
+
+Required fields:
