The remaining_time from printer state is in minutes (from mc_remaining_time),
but _format_duration() expects seconds. This caused "17h 47m" to display as
"17m" in milestone notifications.
Closes#157
Automatically detect if objects are on the build plate before printing

- Sends notification via notification_service.on_print_progress()
- Resets tracking when progress drops below 5% (new print)
Closes#157
Printers without an SD card store files in the root folder `/` instead of
`/cache`. Added root folder to search paths in both main.py and bambu_ftp.py
so 3MF files can be found regardless of storage configuration.
Closes#146

The 'tag' extra field is required in Spoolman for storing RFID/UUID
identifiers that link Bambu Lab spools to Spoolman entries. Previously,
users had to manually create this field in Spoolman, causing sync
failures for fresh installations.
Added ensure_tag_extra_field() method to SpoolmanClient that:
- Checks if the 'tag' field exists via GET /api/v1/field/spool/tag
- Creates it via POST if missing
The method is called automatically:
- On app startup when auto-connecting to Spoolman
- When user clicks "Connect" in Spoolman settings

Docker Integration Test Fix
The /api/v1/settings endpoint was returning 404 because:
1. The route was defined at /settings/ (with trailing slash)
2. Curl without -L doesn't follow redirects
3. The catch-all route was intercepting API paths
Fixes:
- Added routes for both with and without trailing slash in settings.py and notification_templates.py
- Updated catch-all in main.py to raise proper HTTPException for API routes
Test Results
- Frontend lint: 0 errors, 0 warnings
- TypeScript: No errors
- Backend unit tests: 264 passed
- Backend integration tests: 309 passed

Closes#78
Fix Applied:
1. Added supports_chamber_temp() helper function that returns True only for X1/X1C/X1E, P2S, and H2 series
2. Modified printer_state_to_dict() to filter out chamber, chamber_target, chamber_heating from temperatures for unsupported models
3. Added model caching in PrinterManager so we can look up the model without a database query
4. Updated all callers (main.py, websocket.py) to pass the model
The chamber temperature widget will now simply not appear for P1S/P1P/A1/A1Mini printers since the temperatures.chamber field won't be sent to the frontend.

- Add configurable FTP timeout (10-120s, default 30s) in Settings
- Update all FTP callers: archiving, reprint, timelapse, firmware upload
Technical details:
- A1/A1 Mini printers don't support vsFTPd's SSL session reuse
- X1C/P1S continue to use session reuse as required by their FTP server
- ImplicitFTP_TLS now accepts skip_session_reuse flag
- BambuFTPClient auto-detects A1/A1 Mini and sets flag accordingly
- Add /api/v1/support/debug-logging endpoints to toggle debug log level
- Add /api/v1/support/bundle endpoint to generate ZIP with system info and logs

- Filter sensitive settings (emails, keys, tokens, URLs, configs)
- Sanitize paths to remove usernames
- Remove hostname from collected data
- Replace IP addresses with [IP] and emails with [EMAIL] in logs
- Add privacy info panel explaining what data is/isn't collected
- Require debug logging to be enabled before downloading support bundle
