Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the existing template widget edit flow on the reported Android and Home Assistant versions, focusing on changing the selected server. Trace the validation that controls the UPDATE WIDGET button and compare it with editing the template code. Done means changing the server leaves the button active and the updated widget can be saved.
