fix: cancel SD timer on new log output; change popup prompt to QSPI

- ping_ip returns bool, not tuple — fixed 2 unpack errors
- TftpSubStepFrame: _skipped set prevents set_phase from overwriting Skip
- set_expanded(True) before skip marking so UI shows it immediately
- After Step 3 success, fix IP to 192.168.100.11
