Sync dev with latest 62 commits – Development branch for testing and community contributions

[No0ne558]

Summary

This PR brings the dev branch up to date with 62 recent commits focused on:

• Static Analysis & Clang-tidy Cleanups: Removed duplicate branch bodies, added switch defaults, fixed narrowing conversions and rounding issues, guarded self-assignment, narrowed enum underlying types, and suppressed analyzer padding noise.
• Enum & Macro Modernization: Converted zone/print/receipt/drawer/server/op/window constants to typed enums while preserving numeric compatibility across UI, hardware, and settings.
• Code Quality: Added override specifiers across zone/dialog/drawer/chart/credit-card/printer/CDU classes, modernized buffers to std::array, replaced NULL with nullptr.
• Safety & Correctness: Fixed bugprone warnings, improved logging flush behavior, initialized buffers, eliminated unused variables, removed Reverse SSH subsystem.
• Developer Experience: Created Development.md documenting the dev branch purpose, warning about instability, issue reporting guidelines, and contribution workflow.

Development Branch Purpose

The dev branch is dedicated to:
✅ Community testing and development — Improve your C++ skills while contributing to ViewTouch
✅ Experimental features — Test work-in-progress enhancements
✅ Modern C++ refactoring — Ongoing modernization and static analysis fixes
✅ AI-assisted development — Leverage tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, or Claude

⚠️ WARNING: This is a development build with expected bugs and instability. Not for production use.
