Added a timeout fallback for BOOT_NTP_WAIT Fixed the manual timezone path so it starts the NTP wait timer correctly Added support for the Moscow timezone in boot-time timezone detection This release improves recovery when NTP is unavailable or blocked and prevents users from getting trapped in the boot time-sync flow. 2.0.2: (Deprecated) Fixes an issue where asset provisioning could fail with “Enable WiFi first” after using recovery commands. Fixed reprovision loop triggered by rescue flow Unified WiFi handling for asset provisioning repair assets now runs without requiring reboot Falls back to WiFi setup when credentials are missing 2.0.1: (Deprecated) Hotfix release to resolve a rare boot stall during time sync.
