+        When enabled (default, production behaviour), the firmware installs
+        the EzData Mooncake app and connects to M5Stack's cloud at
+        uiflow2.m5stack.com (MQTT) and ezdata2.m5stack.com (HTTP) for
+        cross-device parameter sync.
+
+        Disable when self-hosting the StackChan backend and you do not
+        need EzData. This avoids retry noise in the logs and prevents any
+        traffic from leaving for M5Stack cloud services.
