On macOS/Linux the OS asserts DTR and RTS when the port is opened and
pyserial then writes DTR before RTS, passing through RTS=1/DTR=0 - the
USB-Serial-JTAG reset state. Every Connect restarted the box. Drop RTS
before open and DTR right after it on posix; Windows is unchanged.
Verified on macOS 27 / arm64 with box A4:CB:8F:C9:47:3C (fw 1.0.16,
build 3ae273ec): connect keeps the box running, Reset & capture still
restarts it.

Writes / reads / removes the box's Wi-Fi over the serial port with the
usb_console commands (kota ping, wifi set|get|clear, health) and follows
the box through the restart until it joins the network. The password is
sent hex-encoded and never logged.
firmware/ now holds merged-binary-v13.bin (build 3ae273ec) instead of the
previous 1.0.16 build; error_ids.csv synced with the firmware.
