feat(firmware): v0.6.7-esp32 — real LP-core program + C6 soft-AP HE/TWT helper

ADR-110 P9 — software-only unblocks for the WITNESS-LOG-110 §B
hardware-blocked items. Two new modules, both default-off so v0.6.6 fleets
see no behavior change.

LP-core (B4 path):
- New firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/lp_core/main.c: real RISC-V LP-core
  motion-gate program with debounce + monotonic motion_count counter.
- c6_lp_core.c rewritten to load + run the LP binary via ulp_lp_core_run
  when CONFIG_C6_LP_CORE_ENABLE=y; falls back to the v0.6.6 ext1 GPIO-wake
  path otherwise (keeps regression surface small).
- ulp_embed_binary() wired in main/CMakeLists.txt, gated on the Kconfig.
- New Kconfig knobs: C6_LP_POLL_PERIOD_US (default 10 ms),
  C6_LP_DEBOUNCE_SAMPLES (default 3).
- Exposes c6_lp_core_motion_count() / c6_lp_core_poll_count() for the
  witness harness — once an INA/Joulescope is on the bench, B4 is one
  capture away from a measured number.

Soft-AP HE (B1/B2 unblock):
- New c6_softap_he.{h,c}: brings up the C6 in AP+STA mode with WPA2-PSK
  + HE advertisement, so a second C6 in STA mode can negotiate real
  iTWT against a known-cooperative AP without buying an 11ax router.
- main.c calls c6_softap_he_start() right before esp_wifi_start() when
  CONFIG_C6_SOFTAP_HE_ENABLE=y.
- New Kconfig knobs: C6_SOFTAP_HE_{SSID,PSK,CHANNEL} with NVS overrides
  via softap_ssid / softap_psk / softap_chan in the ruview namespace.

Build artifacts (IDF v5.4, both green, RC=0):
- S3 8 MB: 1093 KB (47% partition slack)
- C6 4 MB: 1019 KB (45% partition slack)
- SHA-256 sums in dist/firmware-v0.6.7/SHA256SUMS.txt

Doc updates: CHANGELOG wave-3 entry, ADR-110 phase table gets P5
upgrade note + new P9 row, WITNESS-LOG-110 gets new A0 section
recording the v0.6.7 build evidence.

     - **Python** (`archive/v1/src/hardware/csi_extractor.py`): `HEADER_FMT` extended from `<IBBHIIBB2x` to `<IBBHIIBBBB`; new metadata fields (`ppdu_type`, `he_capable`, `bw40`, `stbc`, `ldpc`, `ieee802154_sync_valid`). 5 new `TestAdr110ByteEncoding` cases; **11/11 parser tests pass**.
     - Both decoders match the firmware encoder bit-for-bit. Pre-ADR-110 firmware sends zeros that round-trip as `HtLegacy` + default flags — fully backwards compatible.
   - **Security fix** (`scripts/redact-secrets.py` + `generate-witness-bundle.sh`): the Python proof step was echoing `.env` contents into the bundled `verification-output.log` via Pydantic validation errors. Bundle nuked before push; added a `stdin -> stdout` redaction filter covering common token prefixes, long opaque strings, and long hex runs. Verified zero leaks on rebuild.
+  - **Wave 3 — firmware v0.6.7 (LP-core full + soft-AP HE)**: two software-only unblocks for the hardware-blocked items in WITNESS-LOG-110 §B. (1) **Real LP-core motion-gate program** (`firmware/esp32-csi-node/main/lp_core/main.c` + integration in `c6_lp_core.c`). When `CONFIG_C6_LP_CORE_ENABLE=y`, the LP RISC-V coprocessor now runs a real polling program (configurable cadence via `CONFIG_C6_LP_POLL_PERIOD_US`, default 10 ms) that debounces N consecutive GPIO samples (`CONFIG_C6_LP_DEBOUNCE_SAMPLES`, default 3) and wakes the HP core via `ulp_lp_core_wakeup_main_processor()`. HP entry uses `esp_sleep_enable_ulp_wakeup` + `ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_ULP`. Exposes `c6_lp_core_motion_count()` and `c6_lp_core_poll_count()` getters for the witness harness. **Replaces** the v0.6.6 `esp_deep_sleep_enable_gpio_wakeup` ext1 fallback (which floored at ~10 µA, the same as the S3 ULP-FSM). The fallback path stays as the `else` branch so builds without `CONFIG_C6_LP_CORE_ENABLE` keep working unchanged — zero regression for v0.6.6-era fleets. Targets the C6 datasheet ≤5 µA average for battery seed nodes; pending INA/Joulescope measurement to confirm (`WITNESS-LOG-110 §B4`). (2) **Wi-Fi 6 soft-AP with TWT Responder=1** (`c6_softap_he.{h,c}` + `main.c` AP+STA mode switch). When `CONFIG_C6_SOFTAP_HE_ENABLE=y`, one C6 board can act as the iTWT-capable AP the bench is otherwise missing — pair with a second C6-STA board to negotiate real iTWT against a known-cooperative AP and measure deterministic CSI cadence (`WITNESS-LOG-110 §B1/B2`). SSID/PSK/channel configurable via Kconfig defaults or NVS (`softap_ssid`/`softap_psk`/`softap_chan` keys in the `ruview` namespace). Default off so existing nodes are unaffected. **Build artifacts**: S3 8 MB binary 1093 KB (47 % slack), C6 4 MB binary 1019 KB (45 % slack). Tag: `v0.6.7-esp32`.

+ * the beacon also advertises `TWT Responder=1` so a STA-side
+ * `esp_wifi_sta_itwt_setup()` call doesn't bounce with `INVALID_ARG`
+ * the same way it did against `ruv.net` (the bench's 11n-only AP).
+ *
+ * TWT Responder advertisement in IDF v5.4 is gated by
+ * `wifi_he_ap_config_t.twt_responder = 1`. When the IDF header doesn't
+ * expose that struct (older v5.3), the AP still comes up with HE but
