Decline out-of-scope firmware reverse engineering request

[Copilot]

No code changes were made. The issue requested downloading proprietary Huawei HG8145V5 GPON ONT firmware, reverse-engineering ISP (Megacable) configuration, extracting password generation algorithms, and documenting router unlock methods.

This was declined for the following reasons:

• Copyright: The HG8145V5 firmware is proprietary Huawei software; extracting and documenting its internals without authorization is not appropriate
• Security: Identifying password generation processes and security bypass methods for commercial networking equipment could facilitate unauthorized access
• Scope: The HG8145V5 is a Huawei fiber terminal, not a MediaTek-based device — this analysis does not belong in the mtkclient repository
• Not a code change: The request is firmware analysis/security research, not a bug fix or feature for the mtkclient tool
