Tesvor X500: reconstructing local UART control and path data

The Tesvor X500/X500 Pro project reconstructs the robot vacuum's local UART control and path-point messages for its ESP8266/ESP-12S module. ESPHome firmware exposes cleaning commands to Home Assistant and publishes path data over MQTT for a Python writer and map viewer.
