The docs site loads esp-web-tools@8.0.6 from three places (docs/index.md, docs/tag.md, docs/_config.yml). This moves all three to the floating @10 tag, so the installer follows the current major (10.4.0 today) and picks up patch releases automatically.

I can see from the comment in _config.yml and the note in TODO.md that the 8.0.6 pin was deliberate, waiting on esphome/esp-web-tools#515. That issue is still open, but a lot has changed underneath it: v10 rebuilt the flashing stack on esptool-js, and 10.3.0 moved to esptool-js 0.6.0. So this is worth a test on your hardware before merging rather than a blind merge — if it still misbehaves, please drop a note on #515 with the version you tested.

What you get with v10, beyond the flasher rewrite and support for the newer ESP32 variants (C2/C5/C6/C61/H2/P4), is mostly on the Improv Wi-Fi side in 10.3.0: the network picker keeps scanning while the form is shown and merges results, each network shows signal strength, RSSI and whether it is secured, the strongest one is preselected, a device reporting the Improv stopped state now says so instead of showing a form that cannot succeed, and Firefox is recognized as a supported WebSerial browser. 10.4.0 fixes a scan race and default-selection bug in that picker.

I left the TODO.md entry alone — that is your tracker to close out.
