Research-Richtung: First, review how stf currently identifies and logs unknown devices, particularly in the device detection modules. Look at the existing UI component structure to understand where a dialog could be added. Explore the Google Sheets API options mentioned in the issue (gist and Base22 wiki). Consider the trade offs between low discoverability (error logs) and high discoverability (UI dialog) approaches, and identify where to store the list of unknown devices in the database.
