ESPHome repairs LibreTiny builds in its Docker image

A conflicting library blocks some firmware builds that combine MQTT messaging with a Wi-Fi setup portal.

ESPHome’s standalone Docker image stops supplying a conflicting networking library that prevents some LibreTiny firmware from building. The reported combination uses MQTT messaging alongside the captive portal for Wi-Fi setup; a library intended for ESP32 devices was taking precedence over the correct one.

J. Nick Koston removes the unused global library installation from the Docker and development-container images. He verified that a BK72xx configuration which fails in the 2026.9.0 image builds with the correction. The Home Assistant add-on already uses a separate, empty global library folder.
