Flat config editor, diff-based change tracking, bot mode, and chat/node bug fixes.

New flat config editor — Replace hierarchical 2-level config UI with a single flat scrollable list of every config setting. Navigate with j/k, Enter/Space to edit, / to filter, c to commit, C to discard. ConfigPanel.tsx rewritten from 1468 → 152 lines.
Diff-based batch edit count — Toggling a value back no longer inflates the edit counter.
--bot flag — Auto-reply to ping/test messages with pong/ack including SNR, RSSI, and hop count info.
Chat selection fixes — Keep viewport stable when entering selection mode; clamp selectedMessageIndex to prevent selecting past last message.
Node navigation fixes — Deterministic sort ordering with tiebreaker; preserve node selection across list updates.

Bug Fixes

Fixed random quit issue with comprehensive exit tracking and logging

This release addresses the issue where the program would randomly quit after running for hours without explanation. Multiple critical fixes were implemented:

Critical Fixes

Synchronous log flushing: All exit and error logs now use fsyncSync() to guarantee logs are written to disk before process exits. Previously, async writes could be lost during unexpected exits.
Race condition in quit flow: Fixed issue where process.exit() was called immediately after Ink's exit() without allowing cleanup to complete. Added 100ms delay to ensure proper shutdown.
Hung iterator detection: Added automatic cleanup if the transport poll loop exits unexpectedly while still marked as running.

New Exit Tracking

Exit log (~/.config/meshtastic-cli/exit.log): Every program exit now logged with reason, uptime, memory usage, and full context
Heartbeat system (~/.config/meshtastic-cli/heartbeat.log): Updates every 10 seconds to detect silent crashes
beforeExit handler: Catches when event loop becomes empty unexpectedly
Process warning handler: Logs Node.js warnings (deprecation, experimental features)

Enhanced Logging

Transport async iterator operations (queued outputs, pending promises, done signals)
Poll loop lifecycle (start, heartbeat, exit with full context)
Emit operations (resolver vs queue tracking)
Quit dialog interactions (key presses, confirmations, cancellations)
All critical operations now logged with detailed context

Debug Files

~/.config/meshtastic-cli/exit.log - Detailed exit tracking
~/.config/meshtastic-cli/heartbeat.log - Process health monitoring
~/.config/meshtastic-cli/error.log - Error tracking (existing)
~/.config/meshtastic-cli/log - Verbose logging with --enable-logging

See the exit log to diagnose why the program quit. Use heartbeat timestamp to detect silent crashes.
