ScreenTinker 46b2227dfd BrightSign: real telemetry and hardware identity, not a block of nulls
The web player sent battery/storage/RAM/CPU as nulls and 'Web Player' in the
wifi_ssid column, and the bs_model / bs_os_version / bs_serial / bs_screen fields
the player already reported at registration were consumed by nothing. A browser
tab genuinely has none of that. A BrightSign has some of it, and was reporting
none.

Telemetry comes from a CACHE the heartbeat reads synchronously. The beat builds
its payload every 15s without awaiting, but the one real sensor here —
deviceInfo.getTemperature() — returns a promise; awaiting inside the beat would
either block it or serialise a pending Promise into the payload, which is exactly
how device_id once became "[object Promise]". The cache starts EMPTY rather than
null-filled and is spread last, so off-platform nothing changes and a null here
can never clobber a value another player family legitimately supplied.

wifi_ssid was actively false on a PoE Ethernet appliance — an operator reading
that column was told an SSID that does not exist. It is null there now, and the
device view shows a real hardware block instead. Android's WiFi display is
untouched.

Hardware identity is a SEPARATE writer from applyDeviceInfo, deliberately. That
function is a blind full-row overwrite, and an empty device_info once nulled
seventeen columns every five minutes because {} is truthy. These fields arrive
only on a full register, so the same shape would wipe them on every lightweight
refresh in between; COALESCE makes "no news" mean "unchanged".

The OS build gets its own column rather than reusing android_version, which is
load-bearing as a TYPE discriminator: device-detail chooses between the Android
and browser layouts with android_version.startsWith('Web/'), so writing
"BrightSign OS 9.0.189" there would have rendered a BrightSign with battery and
WiFi cards — and applyDeviceInfo would have clobbered it on the next refresh.

Storage is labelled "Player Storage", not "Storage": on this family the number is
the widget's cache quota, not the device filesystem, and it lands in the same
column as Android's real disk figures.

Schema: device_telemetry.temperature_c REAL; devices.hardware_model,
hardware_serial, hardware_os_version, output_index. All nullable, all idempotent
in the existing migration array.

973 pass (+19). The temperature tests drive a real socket into a real server,
because changing the arity of the telemetry INSERT would break every player's
heartbeat, not just BrightSign's.
