The repo bridges both instruments (Koheron CTL200 seed + Agiltron M511
EDFA), so 'koheron-esp32-bridge' was too narrow. Align the repo name and
descriptions to the identifier the whole stack already uses
(butterfly_edfa_rack): README title, Makefile/platformio headers, and the
homeassistant/ copies. Device id, MQTT topics and entity ids are
unchanged, so no reflash or lost HA history. Sibling HA repo renamed to
butterfly-edfa-rack-homeassistant.

Keeps the firmware repo's homeassistant/ copy in step with
butterfly-rack-homeassistant (control-panel layout, read-only status
strip, Pump Limit Override switch).

Adds a Pump Limit Override: the pump-1 current command is clamped to a
soft 4000 mA ceiling (the 1 W diode rating) by default, liftable to the
8000 mA hard protocol max only while the new amp_pump_override switch is
ON. Fail-safe: the override defaults OFF on every boot, and switching it
OFF immediately re-clamps a running setpoint back down to 4000 mA so the
booster cannot stay parked above 1 W. The HA pump-1 number now spans
0..8000 mA; values above 4000 take effect only with the override on.
PUMP_CURRENT_MAX_MA is split into PUMP_CURRENT_SOFT_MAX_MA (4000) and
PUMP_CURRENT_HARD_MAX_MA (8000). README/BOM updated. Builds clean
(flash 59.3%); not yet flashed (ESP32 needs USB, no OTA).

Full parts list to rebuild the MOPA: seed (DFB1550LP + CTL200 + its
5.9 V/3 A supply), Agiltron M511 EYDFA booster + v1.10 adaptor board,
ESP32 bridge, fibre/attenuator/output-connector optics, and the 3V3
signal wiring table. Electrical specs not firmly in the lab notes are
flagged to confirm from the datasheet.

Minimal HA content to reproduce the Butterfly Rack GUI: a YAML-mode
dashboard (power graphs in mW, temperature graph, dual dBm/mW output
readout, staged seed/booster controls, emergency-off), MQTT template
sensors deriving mW from the dBm telemetry, and an emergency-shutdown
script. Snippets merge into configuration.yaml / scripts.yaml; the
dashboard file is copied whole. See homeassistant/README.md.

Expose the Koheron CTL200 thermistor setpoint (rtset) as a settable HA
number in ohms, clamped to SEED_RT_SETPOINT_MIN/MAX_OHM. The former
read-only setpoint sensor is replaced by this control. Add a read-only
seed temperature in °C, computed in firmware from the actual thermistor
resistance via an NTC β-model (constants in config.h; update once the
DFB1550LP thermistor R25/β are confirmed).
Verified end-to-end over MQTT: set/clamp/restore of rtset and the °C
conversion (10 kΩ → 25.00 °C).

Swept pump-1 to find real output: 1 W (30.1 dBm) at 4000 mA, 1.22 W at
4500 mA still unsaturated. External Thorlabs meter read 1.05 W vs 1.22 W
internal PD -> telemetry is ~0.5-0.6 dB optimistic, path-dependent; treat
amp/output*_power_dbm as indicative, not calibrated.
- README: full pump-vs-output table, PD-vs-meter calibration note, >1 W
output-connector warning, ramp/overshoot guidance
- config.h: PUMP_CURRENT_MAX_MA back to 4000 mA (1 W rating) after the
supervised over-rating sweep; added get_thresholds probe to agiltron driver
ESP32 firmware bridging the 1550 nm MOPA (Koheron CTL200 seed + Agiltron
M511 two-stage EDFA) to MQTT/HA as a single device. Telemetry and control
for both instruments verified end-to-end: MQTT command -> seed lasing ->
booster ramp to 27 dBm (~515 mW) at the documented 2500 mA operating point.
- PlatformIO/Arduino project, project-local venv, Makefile upload flow
- Koheron ASCII driver on UART2; Agiltron binary 0x55AA driver on UART1
- HA discovery (sensors, binary_sensors, switches, numbers); LWT availability
- Static IP, firmware current clamps on seed and booster pump
