Subject: [PATCH] Keep Bluetooth Proxy on for legacy BLE builds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Bluetooth Proxy switch does restore from flash, but the _OFF half of
RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFF decides the boot where nothing is stored yet, which is
the first boot after the switch shipped. MSR-1_BLE.yaml inherited that mode
from Core, so legacy BLE devices that had always proxied came up with the
proxy off after updating.

Core now reads the mode from a bluetooth_proxy_restore_mode substitution
defaulting to RESTORE_DEFAULT_OFF, and MSR-1_BLE.yaml overrides it to
RESTORE_DEFAULT_ON, the same override pattern the file already uses for its
OTA manifest URLs. The unified image is unchanged and a user's saved choice
still wins on every later boot.
