Description

> There is no indication of the NINA FW needed, one of my board had not the official AirLift firmware and the WipperSnapper firmware was lost and locked up. The file system was visible but no file accessible, trying to open a file will completely lock things. The Serial over USB is also completely lock. The LED was stuck in Cyan but no way to tell what was going on (see dglaude-001).
> Of course WS could not expect a non Wifi firmware and know how to react to it since it only drive the LED… but still there was something unexpected and no way to tell.
> Since the guide does not say much about the software requirement on the ESP32 Airlift side…

Research direction

The issue points to the guide as the place needing clarification, but names no file. Locate the AirLift setup documentation, identify the required NINA firmware/software condition, and document it clearly so users can avoid the reported lockup.
