CPU usage too high, ESP C3 overheating? #24

Today (13.8.2025) I tried the ESP32 example from the repository on an ESP32 C3 super micro. Long story short, the ESP32 chip overheated and died.

When I compiled the project, I had to add #include <WiFi.h> to WebConfig.h. It wouldn't compile otherwise.

I tried the example on an ESP32 WROOM and the chip also started to overheat, so I flashed it with Blink before it got too hot.
However, the C3 is a small chip and unfortunately it burned out.

Questions:
What did I do wrong?
Am I supposed to manually add #include <WiFi.h> to the WebConfig.h header file?
