Decoded the "&" and "$" line formats from log1 by matching them against the
decompiled com.lithionics.bms app: TraceFormat/InfoFormat gate on the raw
line's first byte ('&'=trace, '$'=info) before BmsSeries.create() ever sees
the row, which is why the earlier decode (MainBmsCsParameters) never touched
them.
"&" trace lines stream continuously (enabled by our own $traceon) and carry
CAN-charger-bus fields: remaining_capacity, remaining_time, can_charger_
voltage/current, can_charger_status, can_status. These merge into the
existing periodic state message alongside the Cs telemetry.
"$" info is sent once per connection (response to $info) and never repeats:
total_consumed, last_fault_code, highest/lowest_recorded_temp, firmware_
version, aging_factor_temp/soc, serial_number. Published to its own retained
topic (van/<device_id>/info) instead of the periodic one, with its own
discovery config (entity_category: diagnostic) — so HA keeps the last known
value across BMS disconnects rather than expiring it.
Deployed and verified live on host wan: info message publishes once on
connect, state messages carry the merged fields, and 14 new HA entities
registered with correct precision.
