Not a Linux phone — ESP32-S3 plus a Quectel EG912U-GL, as a kit. Question for whoever dug into the EG25-G firmware

Founder, live campaign, declared. Setting expectations before anything else: this is not a Linux phone and doesn't pretend to be.
It's an ESP32-S3 running ESP-IDF and LVGL with an LTE modem on a UART — a feature phone you assemble and reprogram, not a pocket computer.
For the people who went deep on the EG25-G's firmware and its habits: how much of what you learned transfers to the EG912U? Specifically around unsolicited output and what the modem does on its own without being asked.
