Using ESP-IFD v4.4/v4.3.2 examples with PlatformIO Core, version 5.2.5?

Not valid if that is from the ESP-IDF master branch. It must match the used ESP-IDF version for platform-espressif32, aka 4.3.2 currently. v4.4 support has not been released (or added yet).

That doesn’t look healthy. Please start by copying the platform example https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/tree/develop/examples/espidf-blink, if that does not work there’s no point in trying to go further.

Compiling ESP-IDF provided example (of the correct version) is also covered in ESP32 IDF Protocol Examples not working - #6 by chrisalfred.
