pa_fan_disabled was missing from the Apple LoRa Config screen while Android exposes it for hardware with a PA fan. This adds the toggle, gated on hasPaFan device capability — consistent with Android's guard.

What changed?

Model & persistence

  • LoRaConfigEntity: add paFanDisabled: Bool = false
  • UpdateSwiftData.upsertLoRaConfigPacket: persist paFanDisabled in both create and update paths

Device hardware capability

  • DeviceHardwareEntity: add hasPaFan: Bool = false
  • MeshtasticAPI DeviceHardware struct: add hasPaFan: Bool?; populate deviceEntity.hasPaFan during API sync
  • DeviceHardware.json (bundled fallback): add "hasPaFan": true for the four known PA-fan boards — T-Beam, T-Beam Supreme, Station G2, T-Beam 1W — so the toggle appears immediately without waiting for the live API to expose the field

UI (LoRaConfig.swift)

  • @Query for DeviceHardwareEntity keyed on node.user.hwModelId (same pattern as NodeInfoItem)
  • hasPaFan computed from the query result
  • @State var paFanDisabled with full save / load / onChange wiring
  • PA Fan Disabled toggle rendered only when hasPaFan == true

Docs

  • docs/user/settings.md: adds PA Fan Disabled row to the LoRa settings table

Why did it change?

Cross-platform alignment — pa_fan_disabled is a real LoRa proto field (Config.LoRaConfig.paFanDisabled) that Android already surfaces. Without this toggle, Apple users on T-Beam / Station G2 hardware cannot disable the PA fan from the app.

How is this tested?

Manually verified that:

  • The toggle is absent for hardware without hasPaFan (query returns false)
  • The toggle appears and saves correctly for a simulated PA-fan device (by temporarily forcing hasPaFan = true in the preview)
  • setLoRaValues correctly round-trips the persisted value on re-open

Screenshots/Videos (when applicable)

Toggle only appears on PA-fan hardware; no visible change on unsupported devices.
