invalid parameter values release_threshold {} press_threshol

Error message

invalid parameter values release_threshold {} press_threshold {}, expected release_threshold <= press_threshold

What it means

ButtonSettingsError::ReleaseThresholdGreaterThanPressThreshold: the thresholds are individually in range but inconsistent — release_threshold must be less than or equal to press_threshold so a button can be released before it is considered pressed again.

Solutions

1. Reorder the thresholds so release_threshold <= press_threshold
2. Clamp release_threshold to press_threshold before constructing settings
