* Clarified PDM microphone behavior: data unit width is effectively 16-bit in PDM mode
* Updated microsecond timing with Arduino-ESP32 note about direct timer usage
* Added "Precision waiting" subsection: coarse delay then busy-spin for microsecond accuracy
* Expanded error-handling docs with non-aborting check example
* Adjusted logging example presentation for human readers

* Treat empty or effectively-empty configuration files as invalid: restore defaults, optionally fall back to stored settings, and avoid silently using blank configurations.
* Improve presets handling by detecting and recreating empty or undersized preset files so presets are reliably initialized and usable.

Revising AI review instructions:
* Reduce context window use for AI review tools, by avoiding repeating common knowledge and API information that is (usually) part of the AI training datasets any way.
* Introduce a mechanism to maintain both parts in single files, to avoid "silent diversion" over time
* Adding a coderabbit path instruction that ensures cross-checking of both parts whenever a PR modifies instruction files
Objectives:
* Primary Goal: only inject content in AI-visible areas that are WLED-MM–specific or which deviate from general knowledge (the context window "token cost" of true false-positive suppressors is always worth it).
* Soft goal: keep each file's AI-facing section lean enough that the signal-to-noise ratio in the attention layer stays high — around 1,500–2,000 words per file type is a reasonable practical ceiling for current models.
* Aspirational: 500 words per file if achievable without sacrificing review quality.
This is an evolution of #353, based on the discussion in https://github.com/MoonModules/WLED-MM/pull/353#issuecomment-4186989873

Revise copilot-instructions.md: consolidate redundant sections, extract language-specific rules
* Added comprehensive internal documentation files establishing coding standards and development workflows for C++, Web UI, CI/CD, and ESP-IDF components.
* Implemented CodeRabbit configuration to enforce repository-specific code review guidance and quality standards across pull requests.
* Documented development workflow procedures and contribution expectations to streamline the development process and improve code consistency.

@coderabbitai caught the problem, but its fix suggestion was out to
lunch on this one. Passing an unsigned char to String.concat() appends
it as a number instead of appending the character.
Instead, mask the unneceeded bits.
Refactor file closing logic to improve concurrency handling: "Consuming" doCloseFile early reduces the risk that several tasks will try to close the same file.
