Research direction

Start with flash_firmware.sh and follow its invocation of run_esptool.cmake, then inspect the failure reported at run_cmd.cmake:14. Reproduce the ESP32 flashing command and capture the underlying esptool.py error. Done means the command completes successfully and flashes the firmware without the reported CMake errors.
