Evaluate OpenWrt as the next enhanced router adapter #5

Description

@LucaXTech

Goal

Evaluate OpenWrt as the first non-FRITZ enhanced router integration after the router-adapter contract is stabilized.

Generic UplinkWitness monitoring should already remain independent of router APIs; this issue is specifically about optional deeper WAN/router telemetry.

Questions to resolve

  • which stable OpenWrt interface should be used (for example ubus/rpcd or another documented local API)
  • what authentication model is appropriate for a least-privilege local account
  • which telemetry maps cleanly to the common adapter contract
  • how WAN/session resets can be distinguished from router reboots
  • what behavior is possible across common OpenWrt versions and WAN transports

Constraints

  • do not weaken or complicate generic mode
  • do not require cloud services
  • avoid scraping unstable UI pages when a structured local interface exists
  • do not advertise OpenWrt as supported until validated against real hardware or a detailed external compatibility report

Blocked conceptually by #4.
