What’s Changed

• Rename power_off_threshold to solo_power_off_threshold for clarity in configuration API
• Improve float number formatting in CLI config display to show 1-2 decimal places
• Remove redundant firmware-version CLI command (functionality available via halpi get firmware_version)
• Disable auto-generation of release notes in GitHub workflow
• Bump version to 4.0.3 and update dependencies

API/Configuration Changes

• Renamed configuration parameter: power_off_threshold → solo_power_off_threshold in both HTTP API and I2C device interface for better clarity
  about its specific function
• Updated all related getter/setter methods and API endpoints

CLI Improvements

• Enhanced config display formatting: Float values in halpi config output now display with 1-2 decimal places (e.g., 4.0 instead of 4.00, 3.25
  stays 3.25) while individual value requests still show exact values
• Removed duplicate command: Eliminated redundant firmware-version command (use halpi get firmware_version instead)

Enhanced Device Configuration

• Auto-restart support - new auto_restart configuration option for automatic device recovery
• Solo depleting timeout configuration - ability to set custom timeout values for battery depletion scenarios
• PCB temperature monitoring - added support for querying T_pcb (PCB temperature)

🛠️ Improvements

I2C Communication

• Optimized I2C writes - now performed in single messages for better efficiency and reliability
• Updated state enums - synchronized with latest firmware state names
• Improved error handling - better firmware flashing error reporting

API and Server Enhancements

• Separate subsystem version reporting - distinct version information for different components
• Enhanced HTTP API - improved endpoints for device control and monitoring
• Standardized terminology - renamed "sleep" to "standby" across all interfaces for consistency

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed voltage reporting - corrected voltage measurement display issues
• Fixed state output formatting - improved readability of device state information
• Linting error fixes - resolved code style and formatting issues

🔧 Infrastructure & Packaging

• Firmware package integration - firmware config file now installed by firmware package
