* fix(ci): build with pioarduino core instead of upstream platformio
The espressif32 platform is the pioarduino fork, but setup-base installed
upstream platformio and then ran pio upgrade, so every firmware build ran
a core the platform is not built against.
Upstream 6.2.0, released 2026-09-05, moved its tool-scons core dependency
to ~4.41101.0 (SCons 4.11.1). The lazy "import SCons.Tool.FortranCommon"
that smart_link() uses to choose a linker fails there, so every ESP target
died at link-action resolution before compiling a file. Core resolves
tool-scons as a core dependency, so a platform_packages pin cannot help:
core installs its own version and removes the pinned one.
pioarduino core pins SCons 4.8.1 by URL rather than by range, so upstream
releases cannot reach it. Dropping pio upgrade as well, since it re-pulled
the latest upstream core regardless of what pip installed.
Only setup-base changes. The matrix-generation jobs install platformio to
parse the ini files and never build firmware, and the native test suites
pass on upstream core because that platform does not reach smart_link.
* Revert "fix(ci): pin tool-scons to 4.8.1 for ESP targets (#11756)"
This reverts commit a8912b1eb.
The pin never took effect. PlatformIO Core resolves tool-scons as a core
dependency, so it installs its own version and removes the pinned one:
Installing platformio/tool-scons @ 4.40801.0
Installing platformio/tool-scons @ ~4.41101.0
Removing tool-scons @ 4.40801.0
Switching to pioarduino core in the preceding commit fixes this properly,
and leaving a platform_packages entry that fights a core dependency would
only be misleading.
Reconciles develop to master's latest renovate values for deps bumped on the
2.7 line but never back-merged, so the develop->master 2.8 promotion (#10777)
doesn't regress them. Done as a value reconcile, not a cherry-pick: several
master commits are superseded (5 device-ui bumps, 2 ststm32 bumps), and
develop's stale archive/refs/tags/ URL form actually blocked renovate from
bumping these (the regex expects archive/<version>.zip).

Deliberately excluded:
- meshtastic/device-ui digest: coupled to firmware protobuf/API and develop has
diverged hard (NodeDB v25); left for a separate maintainer bump + visual check.
- libpax: develop uses the mverch67 fork (pinned by Arduino-3.x migration #9122),
master uses dbinfrago -- a fork divergence, not a version bump; not reconciled.
- platform-native digest: develop already at 61067ac (equal to master).
