Description
Right now independent of if OTA is enabled or not, flash space is reduced to half. It would be good if all flash space were usable.

Research direction
Start by tracing how flash partitions are selected for ESP8266 and ESP32 when OTA is disabled. Confirm whether the current layout always reserves space for OTA, then determine the project’s supported way to use that space without OTA. Done means the full available flash is usable in OTA-disabled configurations without breaking supported builds.
