OrcaSlicer's "Send job" flow sat on "Synchronizing device information…"
  until it gave up, even though FTP upload worked when the user clicked
  "Send job anyway". The virtual printer's MQTT server gated all incoming
  command handling on `f"device/{self.serial}/request" in topic` — if the
  slicer's cached serial for the VP didn't exactly equal the VP's computed
  self.serial (model prefix + per-VP serial_suffix), every get_version,
  pushall, and project_file publish was silently dropped. Nothing was
  logged past the initial "MQTT publish to …" line, so the slicer never
  received a push_status or get_version response on its subscribed
  device/{serial}/report topic and hit its sync timeout. Responses were
  also unconditionally published on device/{self.serial}/report, so even
  when the inbound check happened to pass, replies targeted a topic the
  slicer wasn't listening on if its serial had drifted.

  Both directions are now serial-adaptive:

  - `_handle_publish` accepts any authenticated publish on a
    `device/*/request` topic and extracts the serial from the topic itself
    rather than comparing against self.serial.
  - A per-connection `_client_serials` dict tracks the serial the slicer
    actually uses, populated from the first SUBSCRIBE or PUBLISH seen on
    each connection and cleared on disconnect/stop.
  - `_send_status_report`, `_send_version_response`, `_send_print_response`
    now take an optional `serial` parameter (defaulting to self.serial)
    so every outgoing publish — including the periodic 1-second status
    push — targets the topic the slicer subscribed to.
  - The version response's embedded `module[].sn` fields now also carry
    the client's serial so the payload is internally consistent with the
    topic.
  - When the client's serial differs from self.serial an INFO log records
    the adaptation so it's visible in future support bundles.

  The working case (slicer's cached serial equals self.serial, as in my
  own H2D-1 Proxy setup) is bit-for-bit identical to the old behavior —
  the new check is strictly more permissive and only affects cases the
  old code silently dropped.

  Regression tests cover:
  - `_extract_serial_from_topic` valid/invalid topic shapes
  - mismatched-serial publish → handler runs, response topic and sn field
    both use the client's serial
  - non-`/request` topics → still rejected
  - pushall → status_report routed to the client's subscribed topic
  - `_client_serials` cleared on stop()
