Sensors: entries can now name AirQualityMetrics fields (pm25_standard,
pm100_standard, particle counts, co2, formaldehyde, VOC/NOx index, ...)
as well as EnvironmentMetrics fields.
- CommandSensorFields gains an AirQualityMetrics table and messageFor(),
which says which telemetry message a Type belongs to. No field name
appears in both. pm_status_flags is left out: it is a status bitmask,
not a measurement.
- Each telemetry module owns one CommandSensor that runs only the entries
for its message, so no command runs twice. The air-quality module
registers its instance once (its i2cScanFinished() runs twice) and
first, so it is read last and wins a shared field.
- Air-quality readings follow the air-quality module's own enable switch
and interval. The boot warning now counts unread entries per module.
- --check's info line and config-dist.yaml say which setting each kind
of type needs.

Add a Sensors: list to config.yaml. Each entry names an EnvironmentMetrics
field and a shell command that prints one number:
Sensors:
- Type: temperature
Command: cat /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0/in_temp_input
Scale: 0.001
- CommandSensor plugs into EnvironmentTelemetryModule like the T1000x
sensor (no I2C device). Readings are cached for 30s, since getMetrics()
also runs for screen refreshes and phone requests. Output that is not
exactly one finite number is logged and the field is left unset.
Integer fields are rounded and clamped.
- Type matches the protobuf field name, case-insensitively. An unknown
Type or missing Command stops meshtasticd, as Security.AdminKeys does.
Entries append across config.d files.
- exec() now has a timeout: commands run in their own process group,
stdin is /dev/null, and the whole group is killed at the deadline, so
a hung script stalls the main loop for a bounded time. Command sensors
get 2s; HostMetrics and other exec() callers get 10s. Output is capped
at 4 KiB. Windows keeps popen() without a timeout.
- --check validates the section (type, command, scale, unknown keys,
duplicate types) and notes that sensors need environment measurement
enabled. Boot logs a warning when sensors are configured but
environment measurement is off. The section does not enable telemetry
itself, because enabling it also broadcasts to the mesh.
