Tobias GesellchenandClaude Opus 4.7 889470716b docs(analysis): add consolidated Telnet command reference
Synthesises every Bose SoundTouch port-17000 telnet command we have evidence
for, across six community sources: flarn2006's 2014 root-shell post,
Sam Hobbs's 2016 ST 10 setup-mode walkthrough, izndgroup's 2021 reissue,
sijeffrey's 2017 `bose` remote-control script, the 2026 r/bose telnet
probing thread (FW 27.0.6 ST 10), and our own #221 / #236 / soundcork#141
findings.

Groups the commands by family — `key` (front-panel button emulation, the
addition the Reddit thread brought in), `network` (WiFi profile management),
`sys` (verbs + the XML-tag-keyed `sys configuration` setter our migration
uses), `envswitch` (parallel persistence layer), `getpdo` (PDO read), `scm`,
`ws`, `swupdate`, and the historic shell-unlock commands. Each entry notes
firmware-era availability so implementations know whether to expect
"Command not found" on newer builds.

Records the four top-level command roots that S5 confirmed reachable on a
vanilla FW 27.x ST 10 (`key`, `net`, `sys`, `getpdo`), and flags that
`envswitch` works on other ST 20 / Wave models running the same firmware
family — a per-model variation the migration's preflight already handles.

Cross-linked from TELNET-MIGRATION-METHOD.md §2 and indexed in SUMMARY.md.
