When a HexDrive hexpansion is inserted but no controlling app (BadgeBot or otherwise) interrogates it within 5 seconds, the EEPROM app should bring itself to the foreground and prompt the user to install BadgeBot. The prompt should only fire once, persisted via settings.
Changes to
hexdrive.pyInterrogation detection —
get_version()now setsself._interrogated = True. BadgeBot always calls this method first, making it the natural signal that a controlling app is present.Timed prompt trigger —
background_update()accumulates elapsed time. After_PROMPT_DELAY_MS(5 s) with no interrogation and no prior prompt, it emitsRequestForegroundPushEvent(self)and writessettings.set("hexdrive.prompted", True)so the prompt fires exactly once across reboots.Foreground screen — New
draw()method renders a simple "Install BadgeBot" message. New_handle_gain_focus/_handle_lose_focushandlers register/deregister aButtonUpEventlistener; any button press dismisses viaRequestForegroundPopEvent.State initialised before config guard —
_interrogated,_time_since_start,_in_foreground, and_promptedare set unconditionally soget_version()anddraw()are safe to call regardless of whetherconfigwas provided.Original prompt
