Fix lint: wrap long line in diagnose.py; make demo scripts flake8-clean

The switch port's LLDP entry describes the server, while the server's lldpctl
describes the switch, so the two were never comparable and every link with lldpd
running was flagged as cross-cabled. Pass the switch name in the port data and
compare it with the server's neighbour instead; skip the check without it.

+![GANDALF walkthrough: dashboard, link debug with optical readings, switch inspector, and a one-click link diagnostic](docs/img/demo.gif)
+
+## Why this exists
+
+A Proxmox/Ceph cluster lives or dies by its network, and network problems are sneaky: a link that flaps, a fibre with weak receive power, a switch port that quietly negotiated 1 Gbps. GANDALF watches the cluster's links from three angles at once (host NIC state from Prometheus, switch ports and LLDP from the UniFi controller, and reachability pings), alerts only on **regressions** (a link that was up and went down; ports that were never connected are learned as baseline and ignored), and files one ticket per real problem. When something looks wrong, a click on the switch port runs a full on-host diagnostic through [PULSE](https://code.lotusguild.org/LotusGuild/pulse) (`ethtool`, SFP optics, kernel log, LLDP) and explains what it found.
+
+## Gallery
+
+**Dashboard**: alert queue with linked tickets, a live topology, per-host interface status and the UniFi device inventory.

+
+![Topology diagram](docs/img/topology.png)
+
+![Host cards](docs/img/host-cards.png)
+
+**Link debug**: per-interface speed, duplex, carrier flaps, error and drop rates, and **SFP optical readings** (temperature, TX/RX power) with colour-coded thresholds. Here a fibre with weak receive power is flagged while its neighbour is healthy.

+Switch ports are shown too, with PoE draw and the LLDP neighbour on each port:

+
+![Inspector](docs/img/inspector-port.png)
+
+**One-click diagnostics**: GANDALF asks a PULSE worker to SSH to the host on the other end of the link and collect everything in one pass, then analyzes it: carrier, duplex and speed mismatches, SFP power levels, CRC errors, link flaps, recent kernel events and LLDP validation.
