* feat(artifacts): inventory and extract ESP32 firmware images ESP32-family app and bootloader images (magic 0xE9) had no reader, so open_binary refused OTA downloads, app partitions and bootloaders. Add the esp-image container format behind inspect_artifact and extract_artifact. A pure decoder reads each byte once and keeps only fixed-size fields. Derived facts cover the chip, from a table cited to ESP-IDF v6.1; segment classification as ESP-IDF's should_map and should_load; checksum and appended SHA-256 results; app and bootloader descriptors; Secure Boot v2 signature blocks, observed and unverified; and undescribed trailing byte ranges. Truncation and undescribed bytes make coverage unknown. ESP8266 images are refused with a specific reason, and ciphertext stays unrecognized. Add the format to every target, Evidence, snapshot, live-summary and artifact vocabulary, document it, and add an optional verify:esp-images lane that compares esptool-built images with esptool image-info and espsecure signature-info-v2. Refs #3615 * test(artifacts): run the ESP image lane on esptool v5.6.0 The lane compared descriptor fields only when esptool image-info printed one, so a descriptor that REA reports and esptool does not print passed without comparison. Compare the descriptor kind in both directions. Record that the lane passed for all 13 images with esptool and espsecure v5.6.0, the version the layout facts cite, as well as with 4.12.0. * refactor(artifacts): define ESP image layout sizes once The decoder and the derived facts each defined the segment-header, appended-digest and flash-sector sizes, the erased-byte scan and the offset formatter. Define them once with the other fixed-layout structures and import them in both places. The signature slot count is the one constant that drives the slot scan. Correct the observedEnd comment: it is the end of the last chunk read. * fix(artifacts): report ESP-IDF's segment length limit by chip ESP-IDF's verify_segment_header rejects a segment of 16 MiB or more unless the chip maps flash through 32-bit cache addresses (SOC_SPI_MEM_SUPPORT_CACHE_32BIT_ADDR_MAP: ESP32-S3, P4, C5, C61, H4 and S31 in v6.1). Record that capability in the chip table and add a limitation for such segments; unknown chips get none. `loaded` repeats should_load. It does not mean the bootloader accepts the segment: verify_load_addresses still rejects one outside the chip's RAM, which REA does not model. Say so in the docs, the skill reference and the inventory limitation. * test(artifacts): check ESP lane tools first and verify extraction The lane started work before checking its tools, so a missing RISC-V target, ld.lld, esptool or espsecure surfaced as a raw spawn or command error. Check each one before building and name the variable to set. Warn when esptool is not v5.6.0, the release the layout facts cite. Assert each segment's class for the ESP32-C3 app, its variants and the bootloader, as the Xtensa image already did. Extract the app and the signed image through the CLI and compare every file with the bytes at esptool's segment offsets or in the appended signature sector; the source's SHA-256 must be unchanged and equal the reported root_sha256. * docs(artifacts): state what the ESP image lane does not establish The Verification section listed the lane's checks but not its gaps: only ESP32-C3 and ESP32 images come from a real producer, no real project build, OTA download or flash dump is inspected, no signature is verified, and the lane does not run in CI. Record the timing of the final lane run on esptool v5.6.0. * fix(artifacts): compare ESP segment declarations Segment entries hash only their data, so compare_artifacts reported a segment that moved to another load address with the same bytes as unchanged; only the image itself changed. Compare each segment's load_addr and data_len as its declaration, as Node SEA and PyInstaller members are compared, and count a changed declaration as a metadata change, also when content is unavailable. Header offsets are layout and the classification is derived, so neither is compared. * test(artifacts): run ESP lane commands as owned process trees The lane ran its tools through execFile. A timeout killed only the direct child, so a linker or assembler that Clang or GCC had started could keep running while the lane removed its workspace. Run every command through createVerifierCommands, check the tools inside withVerifierCleanup, and remove the workspace only after commands.close() has stopped every tree; a failed close keeps the workspace. Only a nonzero exit now counts as a refusal or an expected esptool failure; timeouts and spawn failures propagate. Supervising each command roughly doubles the lane's run time. * test(artifacts): cancel ESP decoding after its first decoded chunk The cancellation test requested cancel or close on setImmediate, which can land while the file is still being opened and checked, so it never showed that decoding had started. It also passed against a reader that ignored both requests while decoding. Acknowled
