💡 What would you like to see?

As a user on a mobile phone, sending commands to a repeater, the Console CLI Command user-input entry continually auto-capitalises when it shouldn't.
Example:

'Get radio' fails
'get radio' succeeds

🤔 What problem does it solve?

User frustration
Improved user experience

📋 Additional context

Not appropriate to force all commands to 'lower' at submission. E.g. if users are setting the Repeater name.

✅ Proposed Solution

File: frontend/src/components/repeater/RepeaterConsolePane.tsx

Original

        <Input
          ref={inputRef}
          type="text"
          autoComplete="off"
          name="console-input"
          value={input}
          onChange={(e) => setInput(e.target.value)}
          placeholder="CLI command..."
          aria-label="Console command"
          disabled={loading}
          className="flex-1 font-mono text-sm"
        />

Modified

      <Input
         ref={inputRef}
         type="text"
         autoComplete="off"
+	autoCapitalize="none"
+	spellCheck={false}
         name="console-input"
         value={input}
         onChange={(e) => setInput(e.target.value)}
         placeholder="CLI command..."
         aria-label="Console command"
         disabled={loading}
         className="flex-1 font-mono text-sm"
       />
