feat(deploy): manage esptool as a provisioned package instead of requiring pip install #954
#942 harness, cold build on a pristine container: after a fully successful compile + link, the build fails at elf2image with:
build error: build failed: esptool not found — cannot convert firmware.elf to firmware.bin.
Install with: pip install esptool
fbuild manages toolchains, platforms, frameworks and libraries itself, but esptool — required to produce the flashable artifact for every ESP32 build — must be preinstalled by the user. PlatformIO provisions it as tool-esptoolpy. The #942 profiling image works around this by baking uv tool install esptool into the Dockerfile.
Proposal
Provision esptool through fbuild's package layer (download the release binary/wheel into ~/.fbuild/<mode>/cache/packages/ like other tools, or vendor the PlatformIO tool-esptoolpy package) and resolve it from there in the ESP32 build/deploy paths, falling back to PATH.
Acceptance criteria
Cold build of NightDriverStrip demo on a container without esptool preinstalled produces firmware.bin.
esptool resolution order documented (managed package → PATH).
