Research direction

The issue identifies the existing lilygo_t3s3 variant and points to Meshtastic’s tlora-t3s3-epaper variant as a reference; it does not name source files or tests. Start by locating the existing board variant and comparing its display setup with the referenced variant. Done means the LILYGO T3S3 E-Paper panel works while the radio continues to initialize.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have a LILYGO T3S3 E-Paper board (ESP32-S3 + SX1262, 868MHz, 2.13" e-paper panel).
https://lilygo.cc/en-us/products/ts-s3-epaper

MeshCore's existing lilygo_t3s3 variant is built for the OLED version of this board. Flashing it onto the e-paper SKU brings the radio up fine since the MCU/radio pinout is the same, but the display stays dead.

Meshtastic already supports this board (tlora-t3s3-epaper variant), so I used that as a reference for the pin mapping and panel identity.
