 WLED-M1 serves the 16.0.1 manifest through an Actions Pages workflow

+Both the 16.0.1 and 14.5.1 Apollo builds broadcast an **open** hotspot, not the stock WLED

+list "cleaner hotspot name: the setup WiFi is now just Apollo M-1 (no serial-number suffix)" as new
+in that build, which is why step 3 says older builds carry a suffix. Setup address is 4.3.2.1.
