Split heap gate into separate free-memory (50KB) and largest-block (20KB) thresholds based on field measurements. Enable wolfSSL single-precision ECC to use fixed 256-bit arrays instead of heap-allocated fast-math bignums, reducing TLS handshake memory footprint. Reclaim ~7KB by right-sizing ESP timer task stacks and move WiFi code out of IRAM to free ~25-30KB for heap. Add memory audit landmarks for font and EPUB allocations.
