Fix stretched content on Kramer and Oxygen LED walls; ordinary TVs stay at 1080p
AdSpace TV v0.2.15.
LED walls no longer stretch ads into 16:9.
On some LED processor chains (Kramer / Oxygen), the Pi used to lock onto 1920×1080 even when the wall wanted 1920×960. The picture then looked stretched. You can now pick the correct HDMI mode on that one Pi. It is saved on the device and reapplied every time the kiosk starts. Ordinary TVs keep the usual 1080p picture — this setting is not baked into the flash image.
The on-device info API (:7224) now shows the live resolution, what the display prefers, and whether a custom mode is in use.
To set a mode on one LED-wall Pi:
make display-mode PI_SSH=pi@adspace-{serial} MODE=1920x960 OUTPUT=HDMI-A-2
To go back to the display’s preferred mode:
make display-mode PI_SSH=pi@adspace-{serial} CLEAR=1
If the wall does not advertise that resolution, the Pi leaves the picture alone.

Venue and lab Pis enroll on distinct tailnet keys; lab hostnames get a dev- prefix
AdSpace TV v0.2.14.
Split Headscale enrollment by image flavor and prefix lab hostnames with dev-.
Prod and dev flash images now use HS_PROD_KEY / HS_LAB_KEY so venue and lab Pis are distinct on the tailnet; Beszel stays on the shared token.

First boot no longer curls install.sh from the internet
AdSpace TV v0.2.8.
Vendor Tailscale's official installer so first boot does not curl install.sh.
Bake tailscale-install.sh into the image via cloud-init; bootstrap runs the local copy and only fetches from tailscale.com if it is missing.

Screen can tell a Pi from a phone via a stamped Chromium user-agent
AdSpace TV v0.2.7.
Identify kiosk Chromium as AdspaceTV/rpi- so screen can tell a Pi from a phone.
Dump Chromium's real UA at bootstrap, stamp it with the release tag, and pass --user-agent on every launch.
