Introduces a global pause flag to temporarily block BLE stack auto-start during large memory allocations (e.g., in EPUB rendering). Also adds auto-restart logic for BLE scanning when device list is empty, and extensive debug logging for BLE scan lifecycle troubleshooting.
Introduces a virtual method allowing activities to indicate whether they need the BLE stack to remain active. This enables selective teardown of Bluetooth to free heap memory, with the Bluetooth settings screen being able to override this for pairing and scanning functionality.
When building an EPUB section fails with Bluetooth enabled, temporarily stop the BLE stack to free up memory (~16KB), retry the build, then restart BLE. This works around memory fragmentation caused by the NimBLE stack that prevents allocating the large contiguous buffer needed for inflate/deflate operations. The recovery only runs once per uncached chapter since chapters are cached afterwards.
Integrate BLE keyboard host functionality for page-turner remotes. Adds device pairing, button mapping, preset configurations for Free2/Free3 remotes, and persistent storage of mappings. Migrates from open-x4-sdk to freeink-sdk submodule which includes the BleKeyboardHost library. Implements CPU frequency locking during BLE operations to prevent watchdog timeouts.
