bb03: Initial HAL

And some safety improvements to the lvgl bindings
✓ Subject identifies a change✓ Provides an explanatory body
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit introduces the initial hardware abstraction layer (HAL) for the BitBox03 and makes several safety improvements to the Rust bindings for the LVGL graphics library. Most changes are architectural or defensive: adding new safe wrappers, replacing borrowed C string pointers with owned copies, adding explicit unsafe markers, and removing some risky image-source APIs. There are also large additions of generated font data and placeholder TODO implementations for hardware interfaces. No obvious exploitable vulnerability is visible in the diff, but the commit is large and partially implemented, so the safety claims cannot be fully verified from this patch alone.

Recommended action

Treat as routine development with defensive hardening. Review the `Singleton<T>` `unsafe impl Sync` and the UI screen stack push/pop/delete logic for potential use-after-free or data-race issues in follow-up commits. Ensure all `todo!()` HAL methods are completed with appropriate error handling and secure implementations before release.

Security signals we found

01

Large architectural refactor with +29k lines, mostly generated font bitmaps and placeholder HAL code

02

Defensive change: LVGL text getters now return owned CString copies instead of borrowed CStr pointers, reducing use-after-free risk

03

Defensive change: several LVGL functions marked unsafe and documented with lifetime invariants

04

Removal of raw image source setters and LvImage type reduces unsafe pointer exposure

05

Addition of Singleton global mutable state for BitBox03 HAL via UnsafeCell + unsafe impl Sync

06

UI screen stack pushes/pops objects and deletes the prior screen, requiring manual lifetime management

07

No explicit security bug fix, CVE, or vendor security disclosure in commit message or diff
