Strycher	44ff206b18	feat(#480 ): read offband_caps byte 2 at device-info offset 84 Adds parseOffbandCaps2 alongside the existing tail-byte helpers, a _offbandCaps2 field plus getter, and byte 2 in the device-info capability log line. Byte 2 sits at offset 84, deliberately NOT adjacent to byte 1 at 82: offset 83 is already the FEM LNA state byte and every tail field is read at a fixed absolute offset, so an adjacent insert would shift the FEM state and make shipped clients misread a bitmask as the LNA toggle. Firmware appends it at the end of the frame for that reason. Absence is "no byte-2 capabilities", never an error, so any radio predating the firmware change reads null and behaves unchanged. No bit constants yet: byte-2 bits 0 and 1 are earmarked for firmware epics but neither is claimed, so nothing gates on them here. Wire contract from OffbandMesh/meshcore-firmware PR #515 (branch feat/508-caps-byte2, commit 7664c29f). That PR is open pending this client-side validation, tracked at #481.

feat(#480 ): read offband_caps byte 2 at device-info offset 84

Adds parseOffbandCaps2 alongside the existing tail-byte helpers, a
_offbandCaps2 field plus getter, and byte 2 in the device-info
capability log line.

Byte 2 sits at offset 84, deliberately NOT adjacent to byte 1 at 82:
offset 83 is already the FEM LNA state byte and every tail field is read
at a fixed absolute offset, so an adjacent insert would shift the FEM
state and make shipped clients misread a bitmask as the LNA toggle.
Firmware appends it at the end of the frame for that reason.

Absence is "no byte-2 capabilities", never an error, so any radio
predating the firmware change reads null and behaves unchanged.

No bit constants yet: byte-2 bits 0 and 1 are earmarked for firmware
epics but neither is claimed, so nothing gates on them here.

Wire contract from OffbandMesh/meshcore-firmware PR #515 (branch
feat/508-caps-byte2, commit 7664c29f). That PR is open pending this
client-side validation, tracked at #481.
