The batm3 dispenser used the raw /dev/ttyUSB0, which is
enumeration-order dependent — a re-plug or reboot could reassign
ttyUSB0 to a different adapter. Switch to the stable udev symlink
/dev/ttyF56 (batm3.nix, serial DDDLb103Y23), matching the validator's
/dev/ttyMEI, so both peripherals bind by identity and survive
re-enumeration (incl. on an internal-SATA flash). Per-box override:
VITE_LAMASSU_DISPENSER_DEVICE.

The batm3 preset defaulted the EBDS validator to /dev/ttyACM0, assuming a
CDC-ACM BNR Advance. The actual MEI acceptor enumerates as a USB-serial
device (ttyUSB*), exposed via the stable udev symlink /dev/ttyMEI
(batm3.nix). Because /dev/ttyACM0 never existed, hal-service skipped the
validator entirely and logged "[HAL] No validator — cash-in disabled", so
Buy Bitcoin silently ignored inserted bills.
Verified on hardware: with the correct device the validator starts, and
(with the EBDS latch fix) a bill escrows → stacks → credits. Removes the
need for the VITE_LAMASSU_VALIDATOR_DEVICE=/dev/ttyMEI per-box override.

Cash-in stalled on the batm3: a note reached escrow and was read, but the
acceptor never stacked or returned it, and the customer was never
credited. Root cause: EBDS carries the stack/return decision as bits in
the omnibus *poll* command, but the driver sent stack()/reject() as a
single one-shot frame while a free-running 100ms poller kept sending
plain polls. The lone stack frame races/collides with the poller (or its
ack desyncs), gets dropped, and the device holds the note in escrow
indefinitely.
- ebds-rs232: latch the escrow decision (`pendingAction`) into the poll
command byte and re-assert it on every poll until the device leaves
escrow (cleared in _process when `!escrowed`). A dropped frame is now
simply retried on the next poll.
- hal-service: return an escrowed note on disableValidator() — disable
alone does not release it on EBDS, so an inactivity timeout / cancel
previously stranded the bill in the transport (observed on the batm3).
- atm store: stringify the `[ATM] Sending event` / `[ATM] State` logs —
they were printing `[object Object]`, which blinded the cash-in trace.
Verified: hal builds, machine app typechecks. Hardware behaviour to be
confirmed on the batm3 (no unit tests exist for this serial driver).
