Eric Ratliff 8fe1ef0e27 Refactor CLI, add refresh command, fix port detection, add device tracking
- Remove build/upload/monitor subcommands (projects are self-contained)
- Remove ctrlc dependency (only used by removed monitor watch mode)
- Update next-steps messaging to reference project scripts directly

- Add 'anvil refresh [DIR] [--force]' to update project scripts
  to latest templates without touching user code

- Fix Windows port detection: replace fragile findstr/batch TOML
  parsing with proper comment-skipping logic; add _detect_port.ps1
  helper for reliable JSON-based port detection via PowerShell

- Add .anvil.local for machine-specific config (gitignored)
  - 'anvil devices --set [PORT] [-d DIR]' saves port + VID:PID
  - 'anvil devices --get [-d DIR]' shows saved port status
  - VID:PID tracks USB devices across COM port reassignment
  - Port resolution: -p flag > VID:PID > saved port > auto-detect
  - Uppercase normalization for Windows COM port names

- Update all .bat/.sh templates to read from .anvil.local
- Remove port entries from .anvil.toml (no machine-specific config in git)
- Add .anvil.local to .gitignore template
- Expand 'anvil devices' output with VID:PID, serial number, and
  usage instructions

# {{PROJECT_NAME}}
Arduino project generated by [Anvil](https://github.com/nexusworkshops/anvil) v{{ANVIL_VERSION}}.
This project is self-contained. After creation, it only needs `arduino-cli`
in PATH -- the Anvil binary is not required for day-to-day work.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Compile only (verify)
./build.sh
# Compile and upload to board
./upload.sh
# Compile, upload, and open serial monitor
./upload.sh --monitor
# Open serial monitor (no compile)
./monitor.sh
# Persistent monitor (reconnects after reset/replug)
./monitor.sh --watch
# Run host-side unit tests (no board needed)
./test/run_tests.sh
```
On Windows, use `build.bat`, `upload.bat`, `monitor.bat`, and
`test\run_tests.bat` instead.
All scripts read settings from `.anvil.toml` -- edit it to change
the board, baud rate, include paths, or compiler flags.

## Architecture
All hardware access goes through the `Hal` interface. The app code
(`lib/app/`) depends only on `Hal`, never on `Arduino.h` directly.
This means the app can be compiled and tested on the host without
any Arduino hardware.
Two HAL implementations:
- `ArduinoHal` -- passthroughs to real hardware (used in the .ino)
- `MockHal` -- Google Mock for verifying exact call sequences in tests
## Configuration
Edit `.anvil.toml` to change board, baud rate, or build settings:
```toml
[build]
fqbn = "arduino:avr:uno"
warnings = "more"
include_dirs = ["lib/hal", "lib/app"]
extra_flags = ["-Werror"]
[monitor]
baud = 115200
```
## Prerequisites
- `arduino-cli` in PATH with `arduino:avr` core installed
- For host tests: `cmake`, `g++` (or `clang++`), `git`
- Install everything at once: `anvil setup`
