Heltec V4 Exp. Kit V1 bootloop (LoadProhibited) after software restart from mobile app on v1.17.1 #3305

Description

@ok2ufo

When triggering a restart from the mobile app via Bluetooth on a Heltec V4 Expansion Kit running MeshCore 1.17.1, the device enters an infinite bootloop with a

Guru Meditation Error: Core 1 panic'ed (LoadProhibited).

Unplugging the battery/USB (cold boot) does not resolve the issue, suggesting configuration/filesystem corruption in LittleFS (as indicated by vfs_api.cpp:182 remove() error in the log). The only way to recover the device is a full Erase Flash and re-flashing.

There is also an SPI pin initialization warning: spiAttachMISO(): HSPI Does not have default pins on ESP32S3!.

Attention, the problem does not appear immediately, but usually after several hours of operation - not immediately after reflashing and restoring the settings.

I have attached the serial console log screenshot.
